Sharp MX-2610 failed PAT test

[jonbonse]

Hi all

I have a client with an MX-2610 that has failed the PAT test...

Not being that familiar with the test, I’m unsure what they need to do to pass it...

Just looking for a little advise.

Thanks

PAT? not POST? or PEST?

This appears to be a UK "thing". What portion of the test is the machine failing?

PAT TEST

"Why has the machine failed a PAT (Portable Appliance Test)?

This is likley to be because the tester has tested the MFP as a portable I.T. appliance which has a very low target limit. All MFPs come under the heading of a Class 1 stationary I.T. appliance as specified in EN60950-1. this specification has a leakage limit of 3.5mA which our MFPs easily fall within." Taken from the sharp tech site. I had this problem a few years ago with a PAT company too. Get them to recheck and all will be fine. Hope this helps.

cool I didn't know that.

After reading some of the specs for the PAT requirements in the UK, I'm thinking It COULD be as simple as a bad power cord on the unit itself.

Wow now there's someone who know's their "PAT Test".
