CHECKMASTER - Update via Internet

The CHECKMASTER is a device that allows convenient and simple testing of pluggable surge protection devices from Phoenix Contact. To guarantee that plants will function permanently and safely, regular inspections in the form of preventive maintenance are of great importance.

In order for the CHECKMASTER to be able to reliably test future surge arresters as well, suitable test sockets will be provided for devices with new mechanical designs. Whenever technical parameters and thus the test routines were altered, it used to be necessary to send in the CHECKMASTER and have the component database or firmware updated. This procedure will in future be a thing of the past. The CHECKMASTER is now update-capable.


How does the update work?

The update is performed with an update tool that is available free of charge on the Internet. You will also need a programming cable (CM-KBL-PROG, Order No. 2881557) and the actual file with the update project. The programming cable is included with every new CHECKMASTER and can be ordered under the Order No. given above. Once the software has been installed successfully, start the program and follow the instructions in the help window.


Benefits of updating


Thanks to the new CHECKMASTER function, you have the following benefits:
  • No shipping cost and no downtime due to updates
  • Personal update to the latest version on your own premises
  • Immediate free access to the extended functions
  • Test are state of the art
  • Guaranteed quality of your documentation



Summary

The improved CHECKMASTER makes testing your arresters even simpler, faster and more reliable. System availability and the associated reliability of your plant is further increased. Regular testing of your arresters saves you extra maintenance work and the associated costs.
