Features & Functions
-
The HAL 400 is a powerful and versatile electrical safety tester designed to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and compliance in production environments. It features a three-level user system (Operator, Supervisor, Engineer) with an auto log-out function to ensure security. The test sequencing and manual testing capabilities allow for flexible operation, while PC remote commands and external screen output enable seamless integration with production setups. A template system simplifies global changes to test sequences, and operators can receive custom messages to streamline workflows. The matrix visual failure indicator enhances fault detection, and test results can be easily transferred to USB for documentation and analysis.
-
With both simple and advanced test screens, the HAL 400 supports barcode scan functionality and auto test selection by linking part numbers to specific test sequences. Production line metrics such as throughput are displayed for real-time monitoring, and test labels can be printed directly for tracking and compliance. The instrument also allows for cloning settings across multiple units, ensuring consistency in large-scale operations. A performance dashboard view—both local and remote—provides critical insights into operational efficiency, while remote firmware upgrades keep the system up to date. Additionally, operational tests are displayed in Watts, Volts/Amps, and Amps, making the HAL 400 a comprehensive and indispensable tool for high-precision electrical safety testing.
More About the HAL:400
Touch Screen Interface
We spent many hours with our customers to ensure that we captured the very best way of working, with maximum flexibility and efficiency.
Our first touch screen interface on a Seaward product has been designed with speed and simplicity in mind. Easily accessible and familiar menus allow you to get straight to the options required without any hassle. This user-centric approach ensures that our product is not only functional but also intuitive and enjoyable to use.
Whether you're a seasoned professional or a first-time user, our interface is designed to meet your needs seamlessly. We are committed to delivering an exceptional user experience.
Upgradeable
The HAL:400 has been designed to ensure not only can it meet your test requirements but also your budget, making it an excellent investment for your business.
Our base unit can be upgraded to add Earth Bond testing, potentially saving thousands of pounds in replacing test equipment that doesn’t have the functionality your future needs require. This upgradeability ensures that your initial investment remains valuable over time, as you can adapt the unit to meet evolving standards and requirements.
You can combine the HAL:400 with our load leakage module (coming Q1 2025) for functional tests like Power tests, enabling comprehensive testing with fewer devices and lower costs. By choosing the HAL:400, you are investing in a versatile, future-proof solution that grows with your testing needs, ensuring long-term reliability and efficiency.
Modern Connectivity
The HAL:400 comes equipped with an extensive array of connectivity options, ensuring you have all the interfaces and connections you could ever need for seamless integration with various devices and systems.
Ethernet and optional Wi-Fi¹ connections allow test result data to be instantly transferred to network locations. Over the air upgrade capabilities mean that we can ensure your PLT is running the most up to date firmware, and add features in the future.
USB allows for the connection of modern peripherals such as Barcode scanners and printers. HDMI output even allows for a larger display if required by simply plugging in a compatible monitor.
