Atec Megger-MFT1500 Series - Manual

MFT1500 Series
Combined Insulation, Loop & RCD Tester
DESCRIPTION
The MFT1500 series multifunction tester has been revised to
include some additional new features:
Called the MFT1500 series, they retain all the essential
features necessary for testing domestic, commercial and
industrial fixed wiring, and now include the following:
■ PFC measurement on both loop test ranges
■ Selectable Fault (Touch) voltage 25 V or 50 V
■ Fault (Touch) voltage display
■ New Megger lead set included with all instruments
■ DC test functions for RCDs
All instruments test in accordance with International
Standards and National Wiring Regulations including BS7671
(16th Edition wiring regulations) and European Standard
EN61557.
In addition, the MFT1500 series also meets or exceeds the
requirements of EN61010-1 Category III 480 V (max) phase-
phase.
The MFT1500 is available in 4 options, the standard
MFT1501/2 the MFT1502/2 which includes useful additional
facilities such as backlit display and range switches, plus the
unique Megger illuminated switched probe, the MFT1552
which has an automatic RCD test feature, and the MFT1553
which has Bluetooth downloading capability
The unique modern styling of the instruments allows it to
be operated whilst stood on the floor, a ledge, hung around
the neck with the supplied neck strap, or held in the hand.
FEATURES
The MFT1500 series uses the patented Megger digital/
analogue arc display. The analogue arc provides an
indication of fluctuating readings, while the digital readout
providing the ability to record accurate results.
All test functions are selectable from the main panel, with
no hidden ranges or functions to forget.
Special functions include:
VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
■ AC/DC Volt meter provides a means of measuring the
supply voltage independently of any other test functions,
eliminating the need to carry a separate multimeter.
Automatic selection of AC or DC measurement up to
500 V a.c./d.c.
CONTINUITY TESTING
■ 200 mA continuity from 0.01 Ω to 99.9 kΩ exceeds all
current requirements for testing final ring circuit
conductors, and bonding of services.
■ Automatic continuity testing commences the moment
the test probes touch the circuit to be tested, allowing
fast testing with both hands free.
■ Fast continuity buzzer is a fast buzzer tone, with no
delay on each test for the buzzer to sound, saving
valuable operator time. This test includes a fast safety
check for the presence of a voltage as the test probes
are connected to the circuit.
■ Combined 16th Edition testing
■ Guaranteed non-tripping loop test range
■ Backlit display and selector ranges
■ Automatic RCD testing (MFT1552 &
MFT1553 only)
■ Bluetooth downloading (MFT1553 only)
■ Illuminated switch probe
■ Selectable touch voltage
■ Touch (fault) voltage and display
■ Calibrated earth loop test lead
■ Calibration certificate
