2 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 de-energised and isolated before connections are made except for voltage measurement. • circuit connections m u s t not be...
Description congratulations on your purchase of a genuine megger insulation/continuity tester. Megger has over 100 years experience in insulation testing which is reflected in its product designs. Your bmm500 has been carefully developed to address the real needs and benefits of the user. The megger...
Operation refer to safety wa rnings before using the instrument testing is automatically inhibited if: • an external voltage >55v is present when switched to any insulation range position • an external voltage >10v is present on all other ranges (excluding off/v ). The external voltage is indicated ...
Operation alternatively the key can be re-pressed. Insulation tests (m Ω ) (see fig. 1) the insulation tests apply a known voltage to the circuit under test and measure the resulting leakage current. The circuit under test must be completely de-energised and isolated before test connections are made...
Operation on pi testing and value assessment can be found in megger limited publications listed in the accessories page. Automatic discharge when the test button is released after an insulation test (or re-pressed if ltb feature is enabled), a 200k Ω load is automatically switched across the termina...
Operation the reading will hold for a few seconds and then reset. This range is not suitable for diode testing since the automatic contact detector will not be activated when connected to a diode. 1. Set the selector switch to Ω . 2. Connect the test leads. 3. The test will activate automatically. 4...
Continuity bleeper the continuity bleeper sounds continuously when a resistance below the threshold level is detected. This can be selected from several values between 2 Ω and 3k Ω . To change the level press the button. Short bleeps will sound for values above the threshold but below approx. 3k Ω 1...
Current and wide measurement range(0,01k Ω to 10000k Ω ) make the resistance range very useful for general purpose testing. Voltage tests (v) if >1v a.C. Or d.C. Is present at the terminals the measured voltage is indicated on the display. The voltage display will function within specification even ...
Operation button. Up to 9,9mv can be zeroed on the d.C. Mv range. The symbol will appear to indicate the zero has been adjusted. 1. Select the d.C. Mv range. 2. Short the test leads together. 3. When the reading has stabilised, press the test button. The zero offset symbol will appear. 4. To release...
