Introduction; Power Cord And Charging The Batteries - Megger MEG10-01 Guide De L'utilisateur

INTRODUCTION

The MEG10-01 is a compact microprocessor controlled high voltage d.c.
insulation tester, which may be powered by internal rechargeable
batteries or by connection to a mains supply. Measurement results are
clearly displayed on the digital and analogue LCD display.
The measurement range is up to 500 GOhm on the digital display and to
1 TOhm on the analogue scale. Test voltages of 500 V, 1000 V, 2500 V,
5000 V and 10000 V are available and are selected by a two buttons on
the front panel.
An integral timer is started automatically on commencement of a test,
which displays elapsed time in minutes and seconds. This timer may
also be used to automatically stop an insulation resistance test and an
automatic Polarisation Index test. At the end of any test, capacitive
loads are automatically discharged and the decaying voltage is displayed
until it reaches a safe level. At any point, a flashing LED and segments
on the display indicate the presence of a dangerous voltage.
The battery condition is continually monitored while the instrument is
switched on and the battery condition is shown by a 5-segment bar
graph on the display.
Power is provided by a mains supply or from an internal rechargeable
battery which when fully charged is capable of providing at least 4
hours continuous testing before requiring recharge.

Power cord and charging the batteries.

If the power cord supplied is not suitable for your type of socket outlet,
do not use an adaptor. Use a suitable alternative power cord, or if
necessary change the plug by cutting the cord and fitting a suitable plug.
The instrument may be connected to a 50/60 Hz, 100 to 240 Volt supply.
This supply will power the instrument if the instrument is switched on,
or will charge the batteries if the instrument is switched off. If charging,
4
the HV ON l.e.d. will illuminate green. To fully recharge completely
exhausted batteries takes 14 hours. The batteries cannot be recharged
while using the instrument.
The MEG10-01 must be used without connection to ground. As most
power cords are supplied with three core leads the MEG10-01 is fitted
with a two pin IEC60320 connector that will accept both three pin and
two pin counterparts.
The colour code of the cord is:
International
Earth/Ground Yellow/Green
Neutral Blue
Phase (Line) Brown
If using a fused plug, a 3 Amp fuse to BS1362 should be fitted.
Note:
A plug severed from the power cord should be destroyed, as a plug
with bare conductors is hazardous in a live socket outlet.
