MARTINDALE’S NEW PROVING UNITS VERIFY
SAFETY AND CALIBRATION IN ONE
Now available from Martindale Electric – one of the most trusted
brands in electrical safety – are the latest PDS and PDSX Series of
proving units. Smaller, lighter and with new options for calibration
checking test equipment, Martindale’s next generation PDSX proving
units, enable contractors and maintenance teams to safely and simply
prove the operation of voltage indicators, two pole testers and test
lamps plus common 18th Edition tester functions.
The PDSX Series includes an additional CALCHECK feature for
verifying the calibration consistency of multifunction installation
testers providing confidence in the performance of all essential test
equipment before and after measurement.
CALCHECK makes it easy to verify the insulation and low resistance
ranges on 18th testers on-site, making it ideal for identifying potential
calibration issues with test equipment prior to certifying a new wiring
installation or carrying out a condition report. This is a valuable
procedure recognised by electrical contractor assessment bodies to
ensure reliable results and avoid unnecessary and expensive retests.

Safe electrical
working requires
the use of a voltage
indicator that has
been proven with
a suitable proving
device before and
after use to ensure
the instrument is
working correctly in
accordance with the
Electricity at Work
Regulations. Having
de-energised and
locked off a circuit
prior to maintenance,
it’s essential to prove
your tester before and after you’ve proved the circuit to be dead in
accordance with safe isolation procedures. The easiest and safest
solution is to use a proving unit matched to the voltage indicator
which can supply the full voltage range of the tester wherever you are
working.
Fast and easy to use, immediately supplying the full test voltage on
contact, Martindale’s new proving units are suitable for proving two
pole voltage indicators, and test lamps with voltage measurement
ranges up to 440V and 690V. Featuring all the benefits of the industry
standard Martindale PD440 and PD690, the new PDS and SX series of
proving units come in a durable over moulded, low profile case, and
include an MG3 detachable magnetic hanger, which enables the unit
to be positioned securely nearby, ideal where space is limited or access
difficult.
For simplicity the S Series have a single voltage output while the SX
Series output voltages are stepped with individual LED indicators for
each voltage level from 50V to 690V. The voltage levels are matched
to common two pole tester thresholds, ideal for identifying potential
voltage tester calibration issues.
For added ease of use, the new units are also colour coded so that the
voltage output can easily be identified and matched to Martindale
voltage indicators and test lamps which share the same colour coding.
Complete with alkaline batteries and a carry case, the latest ranges are
supplied with a two-year guarantee.
Martindale Electric offers a comprehensive range of portable appliance
testers, voltage testers, proving units and locking off devices to
ensure compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations for the
safe maintenance of plant and equipment and the safe operation of
electrical appliances.
