All CEAST Fire, Electrical and other Testers have been produced since late ‘90s. Hundreds of these systems have been installed around the world and they have an excellent reputation for reliability, however component obsolescence is making it increasingly difficult to provide spare parts, associated repairs and service. Instron has decided to not innovate this product lines therefore we can not offer any new unit or trade-in. Use the tables below to find your system and see what upgrade options are available.
