Megger MIT400/2 Insulation & Continuity Tester

Indledning

This user manual provides essential information for the safe and effective operation of the Megger MIT400/2 Insulation & Continuity Tester, model 1006-719. This versatile instrument is designed for a wide range of applications, including electrical installations, cable testing, motor testing, automotive diagnostics, ESD measurements, panel building, avionics, and general maintenance.

The MIT400/2 features enhanced insulation testing with feedback-controlled test voltages, limiting over-voltage to 2%. It also offers a variable voltage range from 250 V to 1000 V in 10 V steps for specific application requirements. Continuity testing is significantly faster, with an autoranging function from 0.01 ̑ to 1.0 M̑, and retains 200 mA and 20 mA test options. The redesigned unit boasts an over-moulded case for increased protection and an IP54 weatherproof rating.

Sikkerhedsoplysninger

Always adhere to local and national safety regulations when using electrical test equipment. Failure to follow these safety guidelines may result in injury, damage to the instrument, or damage to the equipment under test.

• Ensure the instrument is in good working condition before use.
• Do not use the tester if it appears damaged or if the battery compartment is open.
• Always disconnect power from the circuit under test before making connections for insulation or continuity measurements.
• Use only test leads supplied or recommended by Megger.
• Be aware of live circuits and potential shock hazards.
• Do not operate the instrument in wet conditions or explosive atmospheres.
• Refer to the full safety instructions in the comprehensive manual for detailed precautions.

• TRMS Button: Toggles True RMS measurement mode.
• Baggrundslys knap: Activates or deactivates the display backlight for improved visibility in low-light conditions.
• Lyd knap: Controls audible alerts, such as continuity beepers.
• TEST Button (Yellow): Initiates an insulation or continuity test.
• Lock Button (Red): Locks the test button for continuous testing, useful for hands-free operation during insulation tests.
• Drejeknap: Used to select the desired measurement function:
  • M̑ (Insulation Resistance): Selects insulation test voltages (e.g., 250V, 500V, 1kV).
  • V (bindtage): Mål AC/DC voltage.
  • OFF: Powers off the instrument.
  • ̑ (Continuity): Measures resistance and performs continuity checks.
  • Wrench/Tool Icon: Indicates a special function or setting mode.

Opsætning

Installation af batteri

The MIT400/2 is powered by 6 AA batteries. The battery compartment is located at the rear of the unit and features separate fuse access.

1. Ensure the instrument is switched to the OFF position.
2. Find batteridækslet på bagsiden af ​​enheden.
3. Unscrew or unlatch the cover and remove it.
4. Insert 6 AA batteries, observing the correct polarity indicated inside the compartment.
5. Sæt dækslet til batterirummet på igen, og fastgør det godt.

Indledende kontrol

Before first use, or after battery replacement, perform a quick functional check to ensure the unit powers on and the display is clear.

Betjeningsvejledning

Insulation Testing (M̑)

The MIT400/2 offers insulation testing up to 1000 V and 200 G̑ range with stabilized test voltage.

1. Turn the rotary selector switch to the desired M̑ voltage range (e.g., 250V, 500V, 1kV). A variable range allows intermediate voltages from 250 V to 1000 V in 10 V steps.
2. Connect the test leads to the circuit or component under test, ensuring proper polarity.
3. Press and hold the yellow PRØVE button to initiate the test. The display will show the insulation resistance.
4. For continuous testing, press the red Låse button after pressing PRØVE. Trykke PRØVE igen for at låse op.
5. Slip PRØVE knappen for at stoppe målingen.

Continuity Testing (̑)

The instrument provides fast autoranging continuity testing from 0.01 ̑ to 1.0 M̑, with 200 mA and 20 mA test options.

1. Turn the rotary selector switch to the ̑ position.
2. Connect the test leads to the circuit or component.
3. The instrument will automatically display the resistance. If continuity is detected within the set threshold, an audible beep may sound (if enabled).
4. Brug Sund button to toggle the continuity beeper.

Voltage Måling (V)

Measure AC or DC voltage.

1. Turn the rotary selector switch to the V position.
2. Connect the test leads across the voltage kilde.
3. The display will show the measured voltage.
4. Tryk på TRMS button to toggle between True RMS and average sensing for AC voltage målinger.

Display Baggrundsbelysning

Tryk på Baggrundsbelysning button to illuminate the display for better readability in dimly lit environments. Press again to turn off.

Opretholdelse

Rensning

Clean the instrument regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the unit is dry before storage or use.

Udskiftning af batteri

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace all 6 AA batteries as described in the "Battery Installation" section. Always use fresh, high-quality batteries.

Sikringsadgang

The MIT400/2 features separate fuse access within the battery compartment. Refer to the full service manual for fuse specifications and replacement procedures.

Kalibrering

Your Megger MIT400/2 is calibrated prior to shipment and comes with a new NIST-traceable calibration certificate with data. This ensures the instrument meets manufacturer's specifications and is ready for use, meeting most quality system standards. Regular calibration by qualified personnel is recommended to maintain accuracy.

Fejlfinding

• No Display/Unit Not Powering On: Check battery installation and ensure batteries are fresh. Verify the rotary switch is not in the OFF position.
• Upræcise læsninger: Ensure test leads are properly connected and not damaged. Verify the correct measurement function is selected. Consider recalibration if issues persist.
• Kontinuitetsbipper virker ikke: Check if the sound function is enabled using the Sund knap.
• Test Button Not Responding: Ensure the unit is not in a locked state (check the red lock indicator).

For more complex issues, contact Megger customer support or a qualified service technician.
