  Electrical safety features are an important part of any electric sales outfit. These are usually stated within the manual and are required to be prominently displayed by law. Some of the more common features are digital control, electronic ramp timers, electronic dwell timers, multiple test memories and automated control.
  
  

Smart GFI

• The Smart GFI is a high-speed shut-down circuit that specializes in providing maximum operator protection. It has the ability to shut down the system due to any errors in less than one millisecond.
  
  

Cal Alert

• The Cal Alert automatically alerts the user when any instrument needs to be calibrated. This means you do not need to manually track for calibration dates, thus eliminating the need for manual labor or mistakes.
  
  

Veri Check

• The Veri Check is a checks-and-balances feature that keeps an eye on instruments, thus allowing the user to know whether they are functioning properly. It is a verification module and verifies the functionality of the instruments.
  
  

Prompt and Hold

• The Prompt and Hold is specifically designed for procedures where steps are performed as part of the test cycle. With the prompts in place, there is no need to keep a history or record of manual instructions.
  
  It also eliminates the chances of mistakes or blunders on the part of humans. The system tracks exact changes and notes them down as part of its database.
  
  

Charge Lo

• The Charge Lo feature keeps the electric current in check and is based on the DC test voltage. It also confirms whether the DUT is connected when the tests are being carried out. The DUT connection is of utmost importance to securely carry out any electrical procedure.
  
  

Ramp Hi

• The Ramp Hi device sets a high-limit charging current during the ramp function, which is higher than the highest limit setting that could be chosen for the dwell cycle. This enables the Ramp Hi device to keep higher limits in check during the ramp process, making the overall procedure safer.
  
  

Enhanced Graphic LCD

• The Enhanced Graphic LCD is an easy-to-use interface, which eliminates the need to decipher abbreviations. The graphic LCD makes testing safer, easier and more reliable. The enhanced features of the graphic LCD enables better tracking of safety records.
  
  

Four-Wire Measurement

• Four-wire measurement eliminates test lead resistance when using standard test leads. This makes for more effective Ground Bond testing and, in turn, makes the system more efficient in detecting any discrepancies.
  
  

Digitally Controlled Arc Detection

• Digitally controlled arc detection uses an operator to select whether low-level arcs should be detected, and provides the operator with the ability to digitally select and program multiple sensitivity levels. This is probably one of the most reliable systems in electrical safety features.
  
  

PLC Remote Inputs and Outputs

• PLC remote inputs and outputs sets aside testers. These testers can be remotely monitored and set-up through simple PLC control. The PLC is able to monitor inputs and outputs of the instruments in question, and it becomes easier to accurately control the entire process, especially the resources being deployed, and the results which are being driven.
