Megger MIT510, User Manual

If the power lead supplied is not suitable for your type of mains outlet, do

not use an adaptor. Always use a power lead fitted with the correct plug. 

NB

: A plug severed from the power lead is a hazard if plugged into a live

socket. Severed plugs must be destroyed immediately.

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

be used. 

Power lead cable colour coding:

International

USA

Earth/Ground

Yellow/Green

Green

Neutral

Blue

White

Live (Line)

Brown

Black

If using a fused plug ensure it is fitted with a 3 Amp fuse.

The instrument can be powered from 95 - 240 V rms, ±10% 50/60Hz.

With power connected the battery will charge as long as a test is not in

progress. The 

Power On/Off

button has a green LED which illuminates

when mains power is present. 

For best battery lifetime, charge the battery after each use. A completely

exhausted battery will take 14 hours to recharge.
