Description
The Clare STML (Safetest Manufacturing Luminaire) is ideal for any business who manufacturers lighting. It can be set up in a production line for large manufacturers or used as a standalone unit for those businesses who are producing bespoke lighting.
The Clare STML is one of the few units on the market that is recommended and recognized by The Lighting Industry Association.
All Manufacturers of Luminaire products must be able to demonstrate that their products adhere to the EU Directives for their industry. The Clare Safetest Manufacturing Luminaire meets the standard for Low Voltage Directives in IEC/EN 60598-1 by having the ability to test electrical safety tests as follows:
Earth Bond
Insulation Resistance
Flash Testing
Leakage Tests
Short To Line and Run/Load Tests
The Clare STML is an easy to use and versatile unit. All tests can be chosen individually and performed manually or semi –automatic. The unit can store up to 6000 test results. Customers can either manually create reports or purchase PatGuard 3 Software for downloading the results from the tester and creating reports. Customers can also create labels with barcodes and their company logo by purchasing the Desk Test and Tag print from Instruments 4 Engineers. In addition, a barcode scanner can be purchased for product identification. A datasheet and copy of the manual can be found under the documents tab if you have questions or wish to discuss your application please contact Instruments 4 Engineers on +44 (0) 161 871 7450

FAQs
1.Q. Is the Clare STML (Safetest Manufacturing Luminaire) compliant with the EN50191 standard?
A. Just the basic unit alone would not be but if you purchase the Beacon Port and Guard Switch options then the Clare STML would be compliant with EN50191
2.Q. Do I have to purchase PATGuard Software for the unit?
A. It depends what you’d like to do with the unit. If you want to be able to download the results to a PC then would you need to buy the PatGuard Software. However we do have some customers who simply copy down the results and enter them in an excel spreadsheet or have created their own software. If you are unsure please contact us. We will be happy to assist you
3.Q. Our facility tests hundreds of LED Lights per hour. Would the Clare Safetest Luminaire be suitable for our application?
A. Most likely not for those levels. However Instruments 4 Engineers offers other units which would likely be suitable. Contact us to discuss your options.
