Safety warnings Safety Warnings and Precautions must be read and understood before the instrument is used. They must be observed during use. The circuit under test must be switched off, de-energised, securely isolated and proved dead before test connections are made when carrying out insulation and continuity tests.
Symbols used on the instrument: Caution: risk of electric shock Caution: refer to accompanying notes Displayed on the LCD during an insulation test, warns that a hazardous voltage may exist at the test lead probes also observe voltage discharges to a safe level. On battery cover see section 2.0 notes 10 and 11.

performing an insulation resistance test, and ensure all necessary health and safety precautions are observed. Automatic Discharge: Capacitive circuits are automatically discharged when the test button is released following an insulation test. The circuit under test must be completely de-energised and securely isolated before test connections are made.

DAR is the ratio between the insulation resistance values at 30seconds (assigned t1) and at 60 second interval (assigned t2). i.e. after 30seconds and 60seconds. DAR = 60 second value/30 second value During all insulation tests the symbol will flash indicating that a test voltage is present.
display indicates the actual test current (e.g. 205 mA. The maximum is defined in setup menu. Note: The test current displayed is the actual test current used during the test, which will depend on the resistance of the circuit under test. Resistance measurements (kΩ...
The crossed out wheeled bin symbol on the instrument and on the batteries is a reminder not to dispose of them with general waste at the end of their life. Megger is registered in the UK as a producer of electrical and electronic equipment. Registration number WEE/H0146QT.
