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 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 does make 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 is a simple and easy option.
Zebra ZQ521 Printer
This rugged little printer is 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
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 full test history, allowing for faster re-testing and cleaner compliance records. It’s a feature that makes this kit perfect for test and tag providers, schools, or businesses with hundreds of assets to manage.
That said, if you’re not comfortable using Android tablets or smartphones, there will be a learning curve. And while the majority of 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 something that is professional, 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.
If you're after pro-level testing without the bulk, this is a smart pick. Just keep in mind that like 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.
