Automated Test Tags

The Seaward ProTag Testing and Tagging System is claimed to be Australia's first portable appliance testing system to print test tags on-site.

The system tests portable appliances to AS3760, prints durable test tags on-site in seconds and downloads test results to PC.

It allows users to process up to 30 appliances an hour, which provides efficiency gains and reduces costs on traditional AS3760 appliance safety testing and tagging.

The system is made up of several components. The Seaward Supernova XE 3760 appliance tester, PatGuard record keeping software, ProTag Test tag printer and a barcode scanner. The 3760 has been designed to comply with AS/NZ3760:2001.

The printer prints durable and permanent synthetic test tags on-site directly from the appliance tester. Perform the test and print the tag in seconds.

The tags are printed with the appliance number, appliance number barcode, test date, user name and test status. The user can customise the test tag with an organisation's logo loaded permanently in the printer's memory and printed on every test tag.
