Martindale BZ820-EV EVSE Socket Tester
The Martindale BZ820 EV Socket Tester is a professional first-line diagnostic tool designed for electricians, EV charge-point installers and maintenance engineers. Engineered for reliability and accuracy, the Martindale BZ820 EVSE Socket Tester provides a fast way to verify safety, functionality and correct wiring on EVSE charge points fitted with Type-2 connectors. It is ideal for checking EV chargers fitted with Type-2 connectors and for detecting 28 wiring fault conditions and also checking the voltage supply level before further testing is carried out.
With clear visual and audible indicators, including red LEDs and a continuous audible tone, the tester provides instant feedback on socket polarity and earth wiring faults. A chart on the tester supports quick basic fault diagnosis, while the integral CP mode and its slider switch allows vehicle states to be simulated, enabling structured functional testing in modes A, B, C and error simulation. Its integral Type-2 plug shows CP signal behaviour and confirms if the voltage supply is present L1, ensuring safe operation during testing.
The Martindale BZ820 EV Socket Tester is built for fast and reliable results. Whether performing commissioning, repairs or validation checks, the Martindale EVSE Socket Tester ensures that chargers fitted with Type-2 connectors are operating safely and correctly. It is the ideal solution for BZ820-EV connecting processes, professional diagnostics and verifying EVSE installations in the field.
