Power lead and battery charging
•
If the power lead supplied is not suitable for your
line/mains connection, do not use an adaptor. Always
use a power lead fitted with the correct plug.
•
Supply voltage: 90 to 265 V rms ac at 50/60 Hz.
•
A green LED illuminates when line power/mains is
present.
•
The battery will charge as long as the mains supply is
connected, except when a test is in progress.
•
For optimum battery life, charge the battery after each
use. Full charge duration is up to 2½ hours but a first
charge time of 3 hours is advised.
•
The battery must be charged between 0 ºC and 40 ºC
ambient temperature. If the battery detects a

Functional verification
Simply turning on the instrument will initiate a start-up process
and the display will respond. If an error is detected ‘Err’ will be
displayed with an associated error number.
Calibration
The MIT515, MIT525, MIT1025 and MIT1525 are supplied with
a calibration certificate which is automatically generated as
part of Megger’s final test procedure.
UKAS accredited calibration certificates are available from
Megger but this service is chargeable.
Storage
Instruments should be stored in storerooms which meet the
storage temperature and humidity specifications listed in this
document. If charging is incorporated in the storeroom the
room must be well ventilated.
