The Latest PAT Test Management System
Brain Cells are a revolutionary method of storing information with a product . For many years barcodes have been used for identification of products, however, the brain cell technology has taken a significant leap forward in the information storage and retrieval.
Each Brain Cell contains a microchip memory which requires no battery and can store relatively large amounts of data. The real advantage is that these devices not only allow information to be read from them but can also have a new data written to them by the PAT Tester, using a simple wand similar to a barcode pen.
Each Brain Cell is completely sealed and can be attached to the appliance either by its heavy-duty self adhesive or by an integral cable tie, making Brain Cells the most rugged form of information available.
A single Brain Cell can contain information such as serial numbers, location, previous test results and a limited number of comments.
How to use Brain Cells
To use a Brain Cell the device can first be programmed with the desired information either by writing data into the device using a suitable Portable Appliance Tester, for example the Supernova, or alternatively using the read-write module which can be connected to a PC for the rapid configuration of multiple cells.
Where an operator wishes to conduct a PAT Test on that particular appliance the read-write probe is applied to the Brain Cell and the Supernova or Europa PAT Tester will automatically read the serial number, location and previous test results. The user can then conduct the tests and when the PAT Test results are completed these are automatically compared on the screen to the previous PAT Test results which have been stored in the Brain Cell.
This is an ideal method of identifying any areas of degradation in the electrical performance of the appliance, enhancing electrical safety. When the operator is satisfied the new PAT Test results are prioritised over the previous PAT Test results in the Brain Cell and the information is stored for retrieval at a later date.
Brain Cells are completely self-contained; they are strong, durable and are not affected by dirt or moisture.
