The calibration sequence will not finish unless the measurement system is giving consistent results within preset limits. If the startup screen does not progress beyond the segment check or stops with ‘CAL’ displayed, calibration has failed.

Page 13: Application Notes
Application Notes Preventive Maintenance The proverb ‘A stitch in time saves nine’ inspired the title of an AVO International booklet on insulation testing, as it neatly sums up the benefits of preventative maintenance. The savings come in financial terms from costly repairs, lost production, lost profits and in human terms, from lives saved in the event of dangerous electrical faults. -

Questions and answers
Our Megger BM11D is not switching ON, of course it was lying idle for well over 6 months, the FS1 and FS2 ohmic reading is 23.9 and 17 Ohms respectively
The Megger BM11D may not be switching on after being idle for over 6 months due to completely exhausted batteries. The manual states that when the batteries are fully depleted, the battery symbol will flash, and the instrument will switch off. Additionally, battery life is affected by high temperatures and long idle periods. It is recommended to keep the batteries in a fully charged state for maximum reliability. Charging the batteries or replacing them if necessary should resolve the issue.
