cert software

[opm electrical]

i have a tester that stores results and the certification software to go with it. i haven't taken my time to figure it out yet,
i just wanted to know if anyone else uses it and if they think it is worthwhile figuring it out

Its worth it IMO after you have mastered it no more writing and every certificate is typed out for you so looks a lot better when you hand it over.

is it easy to master though?,
what tester and software do you have?
i have metrel eurotest and the software that came with it

 

[acat]

cant help you with that one my software is powersuite with a megger. Why not try it out on your own installation and produce certs before using it for a customer.

any good mate? i'm considering the same tester?

 

[opm electrical]

i would definately recomment the tester,very user friendly,
but if you want to print your certs you have to pay extra for the pro plus model, i only got the pro so i have the soft ware but cant print certs cos i need a pro plus pass word which costs about £150 + vat . so it seems a bit pointless having it but i think i will buy it when i have the money to burn

 

[garyinderby]

the pro plus software is only to print onto NICEIC forms.

Have u guys tried the new NIC software, you dont need to purchase the certs u just order numbers, and they print , certificates onto blank paper,, SAVING LOADS OF CASH,,

 

[DurhamSparky]

not NIC!! i just use elecsa's free downloads!

 

[eddielarge]

Durham ranger i take it your not NIC approved with that sort of reaction, the problem with your free down load advice is that major companies want NIC serial numers, the free certs you print give off an image

 

[DurhamSparky]

No im am not NIC approved company, Im an Elecsa Approved company, and my serial numbers are generated from the job i do. i.e if its my 4th Install its gets coded DUR-EIC-0004 and similar for PIR .... DUR-PIR-0003 etc etc..

plus i use the ones in the elecsa secure area with the scheme logos attached to them.

I have the Amtecth Fast Test software and in its latest incarnation it isn't too bad. I am however going to ditch it due to cost and poor customer service.
The programme itself is over and above in terms of cost what rivals are charging and the price for customer support can be as much as £700 a year if you have the full power suite!!!!!

Im going over to the NIC software. On trial it seems to work well and the saving on certs is a bonus, plus support & updates are only £50 a year!

PS certs arnt free with the NIC software, you just get them discounted because your buying certificate numbers not full sheets.

Hi OPM I have the same tester I have had it for about 3 months and I have had a hell of a time tring to navigate the software, it refused point blank to print the cert and I had to get the tech guy at Metrel to sort it out some how there was hidden circuits entered and because I had not ticked the polarity box on this circuit even though there was no details in any other box on that line it refused to print however I am getting the hang of it now but I am still wary of doing one house after another as I still have not figured out how to make the machine discriminate between two seperate properties

i have been using the fluke1653 MFT for a while now, after spending a lot of time learning the meter, and how to link to the software....etc it works perfectly now and is saving me loads of time, i also never enjoyed trying to write in the small boxes given on certificates!
