Meet The Hal Series
HAL 101
The HAL 101 is a programmable hipot & DC IR tester. Isolated floating test outputs make it probably the safest hipot tester on the market. The user interface enables it to be used manually within laboratory, audit and product compliance environments. Use with a barcode scanner will automate the production flow and enable the product to be linked directly into most ISO quality systems.
Various accessories including label printers and an internal memory to store up to 6000 test records make the HAL 101 very versatile. Separate software enables download to PC for further analysis or SPC. Automatic test sequences are configurable and the tester can be controlled from a host device via RS232, or external PLC I/O ports making it ideal for system integration.

HAL 103

With a range of different tests and functionality, the HAL series provides a solution for any production line testing requirement from low volume manual testing through to high volume automated test programmes. The large display and simple push-button operation makes the process of testing straightforward and fast, ensuring your production line continues to efficiently meet the demands of any number of quality and safety standards.
A choice of automatic, manual or direct PC modes offers maximum flexibility for use and control of the HAL series.
The HAL 103 is a comprehensive tester capable of performing dielectric strength, earth/ground bond and DCIR tests.
HAL 104
The flagship product in the HAL series, the HAL 104 is designed to dramatically improve the efficiency and productivity of production line testing and features:
Advanced integration options
Analogue inputs allow testing to be recorded on the HAL from external devices e.g. recording the speed of a motor whilst in operation Digital outputs enable control of external devices using relay control e.g. switching matrices Compatibility with PowerSmart and SwitchSmart for advanced automation Full complement of electrical safety tests Power/leakage measurement for operational, safety and quality checks.

HAL LED

The HAL LED has been designed with a reduced power measurement range with greater resolution than the HAL 104, making it ideal for the testing of low power electronics such as LED lighting.
200mVA Resolution Power Measurement
LED lighting is fast becoming the choice for ‘green’ conscious consumers; manufacturers are striving to produce more efficient lighting solutions for a competitive market. With 200mVA resolution, the HAL LED is designed so that manufacturers can measure the output of every product manufactured to ensure it falls within acceptable power limits.
The HAL LED can store up to 50 test sequences in its automatic mode configuration and is capable of storing up to 6000 test records.
