Repair and Warranty 

If the protection of an instrument has been impaired it should not 
be used, but sent for repair by suitably trained and qualified 
personnel. The protection is likely to be impaired if, for example, 
the instrument shows visible damage, fails to perform the 
intended measurements, has been subjected to prolonged 
storage under unfavourable conditions, or has been exposed to 
severe transport stresses. 
 
New instruments are covered by a two year warranty from the 
date of purchase by the user, the second year being conditional 
on registration of the product on 

www.megger.com

.

  

You will need 

to log in, or first register and then login to register your product. 
The second year warranty covers faults, but not recalibration of 
the instrument which is only warranted for one year. Any 
unauthorised prior repair or adjustment will automatically 
invalidate the warranty. 

 

 
These products contain no repairable parts, with the exception of 
the user replaceable battery, and if defective should be returned 
to your supplier in original packaging or packed so that it is 
protected from damage during transit. 

Damage in transit is not 

covered by this warranty and replacement/repair is chargeable.

Returning product to Megger UK & USA service 
centres 

1.  When an instrument requires recalibration, or in the event of a 

repair being necessary, a Returns Authorisation (RA) number 
must first be obtained from one of the addresses shown above. 
You will be asked to provide the following information to enable 
the Megger Service Department to prepare in advance for receipt 
of your instrument, and to provide the best possible service to 
you. 

  Model, e.g. S1-568. 

  Serial number, to be found on the underside of the case 

or on the calibration certificate. 

  Reason for return, e.g. calibration required, or repair. 

  Details of the fault if the instrument is to be repaired. 

2.  Make a note of the RA number. A returns label can be emailed or 

faxed to you if you wish. 

3.  Pack the instrument in the original packing box to prevent 

damage in transit. 

4.  Ensure the returns label is attached, or that the RA number is 

clearly marked on the outside of the package and on any 
correspondence, before sending the instrument, freight paid, to 
Megger. Copies of the original purchase invoice and packing 
note should be sent simultaneously by airmail to expedite 
clearance through customs. In the case of instruments requiring 
repair outside the warranty period, an immediate quotation can 
be provided when obtaining the RA number. 

5.  You may track progress of your return online at 

www.megger.com
