Megger MFT1500/2 Quick Start Manual

MFT1500/2 and
MFT1552 Series
Multifunction Tester
Quick Start Guide
Safety Warnings and Precautions must be read and understood before
I
the instrument is used. They must be observed during use.
The circuit under test must be switched off, de-energised and
I
isolated before test connections are made when carrying out insulation
and continuity tests.
Continuity of protective conductors and earthed equipotential bonding of
I
new or modified installations must be verified before carrying out an
earth fault loop impedance test, or RCD test.
Circuit connections and exposed metalwork of an installation or
I
equipment under test must not be touched.
The live circuit warning and Automatic discharge are additional safety
I
features and should not be regarded as a substitute for normal safe
working practices.
Do not move the rotary switch positions while a test is in progress.
I
The LCD 'neon' voltage indicators cannot reveal a Neutral - Earth reversal.
I
They cannot be relied upon to identify circuit correctness and are for
guidance only.
After insulation tests, capacitive circuits must be allowed to discharge
I
before disconnecting test leads.
The instrument should not be used if any part of it is damaged.
I
Test leads, probes and crocodile clips must be in good order, clean and
I
with no broken or cracked insulation.
Ensure that hands remain behind guards of probes/clips when testing.
I
U.K. Safety Authorities recommend the use of fused test leads when
I
measuring voltage on high energy systems.
Replacement fuses must be of the correct type and rating. Failure to fit
I
the correctly rated fuse will result in damage to the instrument in the
event of an overload.
