DESCRIPTION
The Megger® M863 PAT4 bar code printer offers the portable appliance testing (PAT) engineer the convenience of adding a bar code label of the Asset ID to the asset under test, in the field, without the need for carrying rolls of pre-printed bar code labels.
Label information includes the pass date, retest date and the testing company name from the PAT4. Alternatively a fail can be printed under the bar code.

Asset ID
Asset ID’s accept alpha-numeric ID’s, not just numbers, so Id’s can be as varied as the user wishes. So now you can have Kettle001, Lamp9999, PrinterA, 000001, 1234, AAA, the options are huge. Don’t settle for just numbers 1 to 1000.
Each label can be attached to the asset at the time of test, ensuring the correct asset number is allocated. Retesting is then a simple process of scanning the asset.

Compact size
The M863 printer is so small it fits into the cable compartment of the Megger PAT4 printers, and still leaves room for cables.
The printer is connected directly to the printer port of the PAT4 and is ready to go. A bar code request is generated by the PAT4/3 DV or DVF (firmware version 1.2 or later).

LED Status indication
The LED indicator at the front of the M863 has a number of colour combinations, which provide status information of the printer, including battery status, low paper, battery charging etc.

Bar code label type
The printer is set up to print type 39 bar code format on a 50mm x 25mm paper label. Clear stick on covers are available as an option to give extra protection to the labels in harsh environments.

Power supply
The M863 printer is supplied with a 1000mAh as standard. Power lead can be supplied as either a UK mains lead or continental version. The supply lead plugs into the download lead connector, allowing the printer to be charged while printing.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

Bar code scanner
To compliment the M863 printer Megger also offer a bar code scanner. This supports not only the type 39 code printed by the M863, but a range of others allowing instrument serial numbers and test groups to be quickly logged.
The scanner can be connected to the serial port while the Printer is connected to the Parallel port, providing maximum convenience for the operator.
