Seaward PowerPlus 1557 Fixed Installation Tester

 

The Seaward PowerPlus1557 automatically records test and inspection information onto built-in electronic copies of 17th edition certificates as you perform tests. The built-in certificates include Electrical Installation certificate, Periodic Inspection Report and Minor Works certificates for domestic and commercial sites.

The PowerPlus 1557 is such an intelligent machine that the onboard data validation checks for blank fields or invalid measurements ensures that only the correct information goes into the right certificate field. The easy-to-navigate Seaward PowerPlus 1557 device is a real aid to accuracy and efficiency. 

With the accompanying PowerPlus PC software, the Seaward PowerPlus1557 loads 17th edition certificate information onto your PC via Bluetooth. So you can store the Seaward PowerPlus 1557 for record traceability and print directly onto pre-printed stationery. When the time comes to retest, the certificate data can simply be transferred back to the tester.
