Hiring Services

Customers needs for instrument hire vary from one inquiry to the next. Whether they require a replacement instrument while theirs is being calibrated, or whether they have an application where it is not cost effective to purchase, we aim to supply a service the customer will come to rely upon. Our test instrument hire service covers instruments from 16th edition insulation testers to energy analysers, light meters to earth testers, in short, we look to cater for most applications.

We have a competitive pricing on all units, based upon a weekly rate, but should you be looking for long term hire contracts, please contact us for a quotation. All instruments are supplied fully serviced, calibrated to national standards and with comprehensive operation manuals. Whatever your requirements, please contact your nearest Alpha Electronics for a full listing of equipment available.

Electrical Test Equipment Training

At Alpha we believe that good service does not end once an instrument has been supplied. Equipment has become much more sophisticated to allow for more efficient testing and as a result, it has become more complicated. Even the latest 16th Edition testers can now be downloaded to software. With this in mind Alpha are able to offer a two hour Product Familiarisation Programme to customers who purchase a tester with the relevant software. This would allow up to three people to receive an overview of how the instrument relates to the software and guidance on getting the most from the instrument.

Alpha Electronics have over eight years experience in providing training on electrical test equipment, helping customers to streamline their testing and optimise their potential.

If you require a more extensive programme this can be arranged for training on;

PATS, 16th Edition Testers, TDRs, Earth Testing & Cable Avoidance Tools

Training can be carried out at our either of our offices or, if you have the facilities available, at your own premises. Training Prices start at £195.00 Please feel free to contact your nearest Alpha Electronics for furth information.

Training is aimed at efficient use of equipment but is not certificated for competence.
