1. Introduction

1.IntroductionTest ‘N’ Tag is the new label printing system exclusive to Seaward.

This will enable users of Seaward Supernova / Europa Pat testers to

print thermal transfer labels direct from the tester to the Test ‘N’ Tag

portable printer.

Note

The Test ‘N’ Tag system can only be used with the Seaward

Supernova / Europa family of PAT testers.

The industrial vinyl labels created by the Tag ‘N’ Tag printer are scuff

proof, water proof, tamper proof and unlike direct thermal labels, the

print will not fade in sunlight.

Two types of label can be printed; a panel label – to attach direct to

the appliance panel, a cable wrap label – to wrap around the power

cord.

2. Make sure the locking spindle is in the counter-clockwise

(unlocked) position.

3. On the bottom of the cartridge, turn the ribbon advance one

full turn counter clockwise (follow arrows on cartridge) or until

any slack in the ribbon is removed. THIS IS VERY

IMPORTANT.

4. Load the supply into the printer making sure the cartridge is

properly seated.

5. Turn the locking spindle one-quarter turn clockwise to lock

the cartridge into place.

4.UpdatingtheTester

CAUTIONBeforeupdatingthetesterandanyPCsoftware;downloadthetester(iftheresultsinmemoryareofvalue)asitisnecessarytoCLEARRESULTSMEMORYandCLEARUPLOADMEMORYaftertheupdate.Failuretocomplywiththeabovewillrenderanyresultsirretrievableafterupdate.Test ‘N’ Tag can only be used with tester software version SNEU.27a

or above.

The software version is displayed on the tester for a short time during

power up.

If the software version is not SNEU.27a or above, the tester will need

its software updating. This is done with the use of the Tester Software

Update program.

The PATGuard Plus CD contains:

• PATGuard Plus v4.4 program

• Tester Software Update program – to update the Tester

• Tester Logo Transfer program – to transfer a logo to the

tester

To run these programs it is necessary to install the PATGuard Plus

program. If you have an earlier version of PATGuard Plus then use

the installation to overwrite your existing program. Any databases

containing your records will not be overwritten.

Once PATGuard Plus has been installed, update your tester by

running the Tester Software Update program. Both utility programs

are started from Windows Start and are found in the Seaward

PATGuard Plus group (from where the PATGuard Plus program can

be launched).

Connect from the tester serial port to the PC serial port with the

Download Lead supplied (has two ‘D’ type connectors either end, one

male one female).

Run the Tester Software Update program. The following screen is

displayed:

Follow the instruction on the screen to put the tester into Software

Update mode.

Supernova, Europa Plus testers, Numeric keypad refers to Seaward

Europa testers, HAL/G2 refers to specific Clare tester models.

It is necessary to select the correct software update file to be loaded

into the tester. For Test ‘N’ Tag the tester needs to be updated to

SNEU.27a. Select and open the SNEU.27a file.

The update to the tester will start automatically, its progress shown in

the program window.

When the update has completed successfully, the following screen is

displayed:

5. Printing Labels

Select Exit at the Toolbar to close the program.

Note

Should the update fail part way through for whatever reason, perhaps

the cable is accidentally disconnected then it is not necessary to re-

establish communication. By selecting the button SendAnotherSoftwareUpdateFilethe file can be re-selected and sent again.

To complete the update process on the tester power off the tester

then power back on after about 5 seconds checking that the new

software version number is displayed i.e. SNEU.27a.

It is necessary to restore FACTORY SETTING, CLEAR RESULTS

MEMORY and CLEAR UPLOAD MEMORY on the tester to enable

the new software to function correctly (see the tester Instruction

Manual).
