Description

The Pretorian Test-IT! Assistive Switch Tester provides a quick and convenient way to check whether a wired assistive switch is operating correctly before it is connected to an activity, toy, computer interface or communication device.

Testing switches before a session can save valuable time, particularly in schools, therapy services and other settings where several switches, interfaces and users are involved. It can also help identify whether an access problem is being caused by the switch or by another part of the equipment.

Operation is straightforward. When a compatible switch is connected, the orange LED illuminates to show that the tester is powered. Pressing the switch illuminates the green LED, confirming that the tester has registered the switch activation.
