If it is impossible to de-energise the circuit, (e.g. high voltage batteries cannot be switched off while their connections are tested) the user must be aware of the dangers. The instrument terminals will become live when connected to the circuit. Therefore when used on hazardous voltages the optional Megger terminal cover (part number 1002-390) must be used.

Inspection Before each use of the instrument, visually inspect the instrument case, test leads and connectors to confirm that their condition is good, with no damaged or broken insulation. Charging and mains/line operation In normal circumstances the instrument is completely safe. However, in case of an unforeseen emergency ensure instrument is positioned to allow fast disconnection of mains/line plug.

General description The Megger DLRO10HD enhances Megger’s existing family of 10 Amp DC current is passed through the unit under test in both directions and the low resistance ohmmeters (DLRO10 and DLRO10X). This heavy duty model resulting resistance averaged. If a user wants to make a series of quick tests...
Applications The DLRO10HD measures low resistance values in applications ranging from Metal alloys, welds and fuse resistance ■ railways and aircraft to resistance of components in industry. Any metallic Graphite electrodes and other composites ■ joint can be measured but users must be aware of measurement limitations depending on application.
Test modes Test mode, is selected by a six (including off) positioned rotary selector selected current through the sample continuously in one direction only. The switch that activates the following modes: instrument will take repetitive readings, which will gradually decrease to the true value as the voltage stabilises.
Warning Messages Noise Noise in excess of 100 mV 50/60 Hz will activate the noise icon that will flash and no result will be displayed. ‘C’ & ‘P’ Indicators A good measurement requires both the current carrying circuit and the voltage detection circuit to be completed by the unit under test.
TEST TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS TESTING USING DH4-C DUPLEX HANDSPIKES In-line connector with indicator lamps when used with DLRO10HD Each handspike is marked with the letter P. This indicates the potential terminals. These should be the ‘inside’ contacts when making a Lamp L1 Lamp L2 Meaning...
GENERAL OPERATION DLRO10HD Out of the Box Measurement terminals First connect the test leads to their respective measurement terminals. To simplify lead connection to the DLRO10HD the lid can be removed by lifting it to approximately 45º from closed position and sliding it to the right. Connect line power lead if line power is available.

Power Lead and Battery Charging Battery Charge indication If the power lead supplied is not suitable for your mains connection, do not use an adaptor. Always use a power lead fitted with the correct plug. Full battery The instrument is fitted with a two-pin IEC60320 power inlet. Most power leads are made with three-core cable, so the ground connection will not Battery low be used.
Electrical specifications Resistance/Current Ranges The green resistance ranges on the keypad indicate low output power (<0.25 W) outputs. Red ranges indicate higher 2.5 W (1 A) and 25 W (10 A) power outputs. Resolution and Accuracy Test current accuracy ±10% Voltmeter input impedance >200 kΩ...
