Metrel DeltaPAT Go Print Kit Review

Metrel DeltaPAT Go Print Kit Review

If you're looking for an all-in-one test and tag package, then the Metrel DeltaPAT Go Print Kit offers the ideal combination of tailored control over your PAT testing and a streamlined procedure to make your job easier.

It achieves everything the Delta aPAT Pro Print Pack can do at a lower cost, but also requires more technical skills than other print packs.

Pros:

  • Lightweight bag setup, easier to carry than a heavy-duty carry case
  • Full automation - test, log and print on the spot
  • Uses the Zebra ZQ521 printer with a large roll capacity
  • aPAT simplifies re-testing and data syncing
  • Advanced features without the Pro Print Pack price

Cons:

  • Requires Android device to unlock full functionality
  • The "Comments" field doesn't sync back to the PC via USB
  • More advanced than other kits, so requires a learning curve.

Key Features of Go Print Kit

All-in-One Testing Kit

The DeltaPAT Go Print Kit includes everything you need to run a smooth, professional test and tag setup. You get the popular DeltaPAT 3309 BT tester, the Zebra ZQ521 printer, and Metrel's aPAT Android software. It's designed for high-efficiency workflows - ideal for busy test and taggers who want to cut time, boost accuracy, and avoid handwriting tags.

Lightweight Carry Bag

Unlike the Delta Pro Print Pack's hard-shell case, the Go Kit comes in a soft Metrel-branded carry bag. That makes it lighter, easier to sling in the ute, and still roomy enough for tags, leads, and accessories. Handily, it makes it less expensive as well.

Smart Testing with aPAT App

Everything runs through your Android device. Scan barcodes, enter data, take photos, and trigger tests - all from your phone or tablet. You can even retest gear just by scanning a tag, with past test data pulling up instantly.  However, you will need an additional Android tablet if you don't have one already (you can easily grab one for as little as $350).

Zebra ZQ521 Printer

Metrel DeltaPAT Go Print Kit - Zebra ZQ521 Printer

The Zebra ZQ521 Printer is a rugged little printer made for the job site. It handles rough treatment, has a high tag roll capacity, and connects via Bluetooth. You'll get fast, crisp tag printing without cables - and you can customise logos, dates, and layouts with the aPAT app.

How it Performs in the Field

Metrel Delta aPAT Pro Print Pack Performance

In real-world testing, the Go Print Kit delivers the same punch as the Pro Print Pack - just in a more compact setup. Once everything's paired and the aPAT system is up and running, you'll notice the difference in speed and workflow. You can scan an item, run the test, log results, and print a tag all in one go - no paperwork, no manual logging, and no bouncing between devices. It genuinely saves time, especially when you're testing in bulk or moving between different sites.

The DeltaPAT 3309 BT remains one of the most trusted appliance testers in the industry. It handles all your standard testing, including portable and fixed RCDs, and offers advanced options like 3-phase testing and custom test sequences if you need them. The Bluetooth connection to your Android device is stable, and the interface is clean once you've spent a bit of time getting used to it.

The Zebra ZQ521 printer is built for harsh environments. It doesn't skip or fade like some cheaper printers, and the tag quality is solid even on rugged job sites like construction, mining, or maintenance rounds. The large roll capacity means you're not swapping out halfway through a job, and the Bluetooth connection keeps the setup cable-free and mobile.

Retesting is where this kit really shines. Thanks to the aPAT system, scanning a previously tested item pulls up the whole test history, allowing for faster re-testing and cleaner compliance records. This feature makes this kit perfect for test and tag providers, schools, or businesses with hundreds of assets to manage.

That said, if you're uncomfortable using Android tablets or smartphones, there will be a learning curve. And while most data syncs cleanly to your PC, the comments field still doesn't transfer over via USB, which can be annoying if your workflow relies on those extra notes.

But for those who do a decent amount of testing and tagging and want a professional PAT tester, which prints sharp, durable tags, and simplifies retesting - it's one of the best field setups you can get.

Is it Worth the Investment?

The DeltaPAT Go Print Kit is built on the same high-performing setup as our #1-rated Delta Pro Print Pack - same portable appliance tester, same smart automation, same powerful printer. The only real difference? This kit comes in a lightweight bag instead of a heavy-duty case, making it much easier to carry on the job.;p>

If you're after pro-level testing without the bulk, this is a smart pick. Just remember that similar to the Pro Print Pack, it's designed for people comfortable working with Android devices. Once you're set up, it's fast, reliable, and built for serious test and tag work.
