Relay Testing
Know the condition of your relays
Relay Testing made quick and easy
Our Relay Testers measure coil resistance, contact resistance, contact configuration and switch time to instantly determine the health of your relays and automatically save a detailed, exportable report for each one.
By measuring more than just that the contacts have switched, our Relay Testers can provide you with a deeper insight into the health of your relay. This helps you not only to prepare for failures, but also to identify and fix them when they do occur, making your relays an asset you can truly rely upon.
RelayDoc
RelayDoc makes BR930 relay testing quick, easy and automatic. With standalone operation, you can simply plug in your relay, input identification information and press test – Let RelayDoc take care of the rest.
RelayDoc requires yearly calibration, which includes the latest software and relay test profile updates.
To book in a calibration, please go to the Contact Us page.
The most recent RelayDoc Software Version is V1.29.

FAQ
MRD recommends yearly calibrations. This ensures units are completely in specification to continue testing relays accurately.
There are two ways to calibrate a MRD relay tester. The first is through MRD. A MRD calibration includes all software and profile updates, as well as a full clean of the relay plugboard. This ensures low-resistance contact pins, to enable the best test measurements possible.
Alternatively, both RelayPro and RelayDoc calibration kits are available for purchase. The calibration kits allow customers with multiple units to calibrate the units themselves. The calibration kits do need to be returned yearly for their own calibration to ensure the kits are accurate.
This can happen for a few reasons:
1. Dirty or pitted contacts exhibit a dynamic resistance. Current cleaning is effective in removing oxidation film and contact dust.
2. Temperature affects the contacts resistance by a small amount. RelayPro is accurate enough to measure this change. Allow the relay to cool down following the current cleaning of the contacts.
3. Calibration drift can affect RelayPro’s accuracy. This drift could represent a very small measurement error. To ensure high accuracy, RelayPro should be calibrated on a regular basis.
