Clare Website

One of the world's largest manufactures of Electric Paint Sprayers uses Clare test systems to ensure that the electrical safety of their class 2 products are in line with EN60335-1.

The system incorporates Electrical Load Measurement and Airflow Measurement. The whole system is integrated within a purpose-made fixture with replaceable test pallets that allow the operator to change the connection configuration from one model of product to another.

• Fully automated system that instigates tests when the appliance is installed and the protective door is closed.
  
  
• Multiple interlocks protect the operator.
  
  
• Automatic sequences between tests.
  
  
• Hipot testing up to 3.75 KV.
  
  
• Installation Test up to 7 mega ohms.
  
  
• Load and Leakage testing.
  
  
• Air Flow measurement.

Clare now supplies more safety testers to the tool and appliance rental industry than all other suppliers combined.

Using the highly successful Clare Safecheck 8 appliance tester at its heart, this electrical test system has been configured to provide a selected number of tests for class 1 and class 2
power tools of multiple voltages of 110 and 230 volt AC.

The system has an integrated label printer that produces pass or fail tags which can be attached to the power cord of the equipment under test.

• Tests include hipot, ground bond, insulation, leakage and load testing.
  
  
• Automatic result storage for download to a computer database.
  
  
• Can incorporate bar coding of appliances.
  
  
• Links printer to produce water proof, tear proof tags.
  
  
• Supplied as a complete out of the box system.

Created for a large manufacturer of electric pumps, this system incorporates 2 test bays protected by light curtains. The pump is inserted into one bay and the tests are automatically performed while the operator connects a pump into the second bay.

The test system performs an electrical safety test and checks rotation of the pump.

Tests are broadly conducted in line with EN60335-1 and BS2769.

• Fully automated system for electric safety and basic functional tests.
  
  
• Data collection and integration with PC controller monitoring.
  
  
• Tests include hipot, ground bond, leakage and motor rotation.

Using the HAL hipot tester as the test engine Clare have produced a customised solution which integrates into the production line of an electricity meter manufacturing company.

The pneumatically controlled jigs position the product and the test contacts for flash testing (hipot testing) to be applied to the equipment.

The flexibility of the HAL and its controlled system means that the function of the production line can be controlled depending upon the results of the safety test.

• The HAL tester is configured to provide high voltage testing in accordance with EN6101-1
  with the test being automatically initiated and the voltage ramping, dulling and increasing in line with the standard.
  
  
• The instrument is integrated into a custom built fixture which provides isolation to
  production line operators.

Using the HAL, Clare have created a system to aid a multi-national company's just-in-time manufacturing process where ground bond earth testing is conducted in a manual mode utilising a remote test probe.

The remote test probe provides complete flexibility by allowing the operator to initiate the test and observe the pass/fail status using just one hand operation without reference to the instruments display.

• Extended flexibility for operators working on high pressure production lines.
  
  
• The HAL can be used for the following standards:    
  EN60065
  EN60204
  EN60335
  EN60598
  EN60601
  EN60950
  EN61010

Clare have produced a heavy duty system to meet the requirements of a high quality manufacturer of electric cookers and ranges. The company utilises multiple custom-built test
systems from Clare to perform single and 3 phase testing.

This system is controlled from a dual push button control panel and provides fast automatic testing sequences with the ability to interface with other tests including pressure and vacuum
test systems.

• Carries out electrical safety testing in accordance with EN60335
  
  
• Test include flash / hipot, load testing, leakage and ground bond test.
  
  
• Rugged system capable of working 24 hrs a day 7 days a week.

Clare can produce a wide range of test enclosures to suit individual customer requirements.

The enclosure not only provides protection to the operator but can also incorporate a variety of interlocks and controls thereby allowing automatic testing to take place.

Combining the interlocks with the flexibility of Clare test systems accessories such as beacons, label printers and information display can be integrated into an automatic process.

• Clare can produce a wide range of test enclosures from small desk-mounted units through to walk in enclosures
  
  
• Customisable to meet the specific requirements of the customer
  
  
• The EN50191 standard specifies the requirements for areas where testing is to be carried out - Clare's expertise helps to support customers in meeting these requirements.
  

Test System built to perform electrical safety tests on the fuel pipe system for the Euro Fighter aircraft.

The system utilises a HAL Hipot Ground Bond Tester as its testing engine and it interfaces through a switching matrix built to suit the customer's own needs. Tests are then applied to the pump/control unit which is enclosed in a purpose built safety enclosure.

The HAL system is automatic providing rapid comprehensive testing and the option of storing test results.

• Custom built System for a high value product where precision and accuracy are crucial. 
  
  
• HAL tester provides test voltages of 0 to 5 KVAC and 0 to 6 KVDC with high current tests of up to 40 amps AC.
  
  
• The enclosure incorporates a dual interlocks for operator safety and automatic initiation of the tests.
