2. Safety Warnings

2.1 Safety Warnings

Safety warnings and precautions must be read and understood before the instrument is used. They must be observed during use.

 National Health and Safety Legislation requires users of this equipment and their employers, to carry out valid risk

assessments of all electrical work so as to identify potential sources of electrical danger and risk of electrical injury such

as inadvertent short circuits. Where the assessments show that the risk is signiﬁcant then the use of fused test leads

may be appropriate.

 The voltage indicator and automatic discharge features must be regarded as additional safety features and not a

substitute for normal safe working practice which MUST be followed.

 The circuit under test must be switched off, de-energized, securely isolated and proved dead before test connections

are made when carrying out insulation and continuity tests.

 Test voltages greater than 1000 V dc must not be used on capacitive circuits. Capacitive charges can be lethal.

 Circuit connections and exposed-conductive-parts and other metalwork of an installation or equipment under test must

not be touched during testing.

 The Voltmeter function will operate only if the instrument is switched on and working correctly.

 After an insulation test, the instrument must be left connected until the circuit has been discharged to a safe voltage.

 Do not handle test leads above the 1000 V range. (For use in dry conditions only).

 The instrument should not be used if any part of it is damaged.

 All test leads, probes and crocodile clips must be in good order, clean and with no broken or cracked insulation. Verify

the integrity of the test leads before making measurements. Only “Megger” approved test leads must be used with this

product.

 Ensure that hands remain behind ﬁnger guards of probes/clips.

 National Safety Authorities may recommend the use of fused test leads when measuring voltage on high-energy

systems. Fused Leads must be tested independently before use to ensure fuse integrity.

 Replacement fuses must be of the correct type and rating. Failure to ﬁt the correctly rated fuse may result in a safety

hazard and may cause damage to the instrument in the event of an overload.

 All covers must be in place whilst conducting tests.

 If this equipment is used in a manner not speciﬁed by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may

be impaired.

 The instrument must be used only by suitably trained and competent persons.

Measurement equipment may be safely connected to circuits at the marked rating or lower.

2.2 WEEE Directive

The crossed out wheeled bin symbol placed on Megger products is a reminder not to dispose of the product at the end

of its life with general waste.

Megger is registered in the UK as a Producer of Electrical and Electronic Equipment. The Registration No is WEE/

HE0146QT.

For further information about disposal of the product consult your local Megger company or distributor or visit your local

Megger website.

2.3 Battery disposal

The crossed out wheeled bin symbol placed on the batteries is a reminder not to dispose of them with general waste at the end of

their life.

This product contains the following batteries - AA alkaline batteries.

They are located under the battery cover at the rear of the instrument.

They can be safely removed by following the instructions in the battery replacement section of this guide.

Dispose of batteries according to local authority regulations.

Megger is registered in the UK as a producer of batteries.

The Registration number is BPRN00142.

4. Preparations for use (all instruments)

4.1 Batteries

The Megger MIT400/2 series instruments are supplied with batteries ﬁtted. When batteries become exhausted, refer to section 15 for

battery replacement.

Warning: Do not switch the instrument on or connect test leads with the battery cover removed.

4.2 Preliminary test lead check

Functional veriﬁcation

1. Before each use of the instrument visually inspect the test leads, prods and crocodile clips to conﬁrm that their condition is

good, with no damaged or broken insulation.

2. Check continuity of the test leads by ﬁrmly shorting the leads together and read the test lead resistance measurement directly

from the display, which should be less than 1.0 W.

Note: Supply voltage

This instrument is designed for use on isolated (dead) circuits. Prior to any testing and using an approved method, ensure the circuit to

be tested has been fully disconnected and is securely isolated from the supply prior to using the instrument.

5. Instrument overview

5.1 General functions

5.1.1 Rotary knob position:

Test functions are selected by turning the rotary knob from the OFF position to the desired function. The display will show the initial

screen for that function.

Press a black keypad button to change the test mode from the standard measurement, or to select the Backlight and Buzzer ON/OFF.

The rotary knob should always be returned to the OFF position after use. Do not rely on the AUTO OFF function as this unnecessarily

wastes battery life.
