THE MFT 1552 MULTIFUNCTION TESTER DOES EVERYTHING AN ELECTRICIAN NEED...AND IT DOESNT TRIP RCDS WHEN LOOP TESTING. Plug 'n Play cuts testing time with the new Megger MFT1552 Automatic RCD testing, which can dramatically reduce the time required to test electrical installations by allowing the instrument to be simply plugged into an appropriate socket, is a key feature of Megger’s new MFT1552 multifunction tester. • Free calibration certificate A new member of the MFT family This versatile instrument is the latest addition to the UK’s biggest selling family of multifunction testers, the MFT1500 series. The new MFT1552 is also supplied, as standard, with a full calibration certificate, eliminating the expense and inconvenient delays of having to purchase this essential item separately. When testing RCDs, users of the MFT1552 simply plug it into the socket and initiate the test sequence. They then stand next to the RCD, and reset it each time it trips as the testing proceeds. Without further user intervention, the instrument carries out all five of the tests prescribed by the 16th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations, and stores the results. The stored results can be displayed on MFT1552 display by repeatedly pressing the “Lock†botton. Since RCDs are often located some distance from the sockets they supply, large time savings are achieved, as users no longer have to continually return to the instrument, after resetting the RCD, to initiate each separate stage of the test sequence. Designed with the help of users Like all of the instruments in the MFT1500 range, the new MFT1552 testers feature an ergonomic design which was developed in close consultation with electrical contractors. The instruments are also easy to operate, allowing tests to be performed rapidly, with minimal risk of mistakes. MFT1500-series testers provide all of the testing facilities needed by electrical contractors in a single, compact, and very robust instrument. To protect users, even when they are working under difficult conditions, the testers incorporate an extensive range of safety features. These include live circuit warning, auto-discharge after insulation tests, and colour-coded controls which reduce the risk of operator error. A wealth of easy to use features In addition to automatic RCD testing, the new MFT1552 provides facilities which include continuity testing with an adjustable-threshold buzzer; continuity measurement up to 99.9kohms; insulation testing at up 1,000V; standard, selective and DC-sensitive RCD testing; RCD ramp testing; non-tripping and high-current loop tests; three-phase loop tests; and prospective short-circuit current measurement. It also has backlighting not only for the display, but also for the selector switches, making the instrument particularly easy to use in poorly lit areas. Other features include an illuminated switch probe, and a durable fitted carrying case. Also available are the MFT1502, which provides the same functionality as the MFT1552 but without the automatic RCD test feature, and the entry-level MFT1500, which offers the same testing facilities as the MFT1502, but does not feature backlighting. sorry this item is not freepost THE NEW MFT1552 RETAINS ALL THE ESSENTIAL FEATURES NECESSARY FOR TESTING DOMESTIC,COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL FIXED WIRING AND NOW ALSO INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: PFC MEASUREMENT ON BOTH LOOP TEST RANGES SELECTABLE FAULT(TOUCH) VOLTAGE 25V TO 50V INHIBIT Selecting the auto (RCD) feature, starts the RCD test current Each time the RCD is tripped, resetting it, automatically Once completed, test results can be recalled on the NON TRIPPING 0.01 OHM LOOP TEST SUPPLY VOLTAGE AND POLARITY INDICATION PHASE-PHASE,PHASE-NEUTRAL AND PHASE-EARTH LOOP TESTS AC DC VOLTMETER+ - 280V AC/DC RANGE 200MA CONTINUITY FROM 0.01 OHM TO 99.9 OHM VARABLE THRESHOLD IN 7 STEPS FROM 2OHM TO 200OHM LEAD NULL STORAGE EVEN WHEN SWITCHED OFF INSULATION TEST AT 250V,500V AND 1000V TEST LEAD PANEL TO PREVENT HAZARDOUS LEAD COMBINATIONS COLOUR CO-ORDINATED TEST BUTTONS ILLUMINATED SWITCHED PROBE FOR SINGLE HANDED OPERATION THREE INTERCHANGABLE PROBE TIPS= STANDARD SHROUDED,REMOVEABLE SHROUDED AND AN EXTENDED PROBE TIP.

The MFT1500 is available in 3 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, and the MFT1552 which has an automatic RCD test feature. 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. 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. 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 200 mA continuity from 0.01 ½ to 99.9 k½ 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 Guaranteed non-tripping loop test range Backlit display and selector ranges Automatic RCD testing (MFT1552 only) Touch (fault) voltage and display Calibrated earth loop test lead Combined Insulation, Loop & RCD Tester Combined Insulation, Loop & RCD Tester Variable buzzer threshold controls the limit at which the continuity buzzer stops sounding. Selected from 2 Lead null stores the test lead resistance and deducts this value from the continuity result, even if the instrument is switched off. Thus reducing the chance of possible Insulation test at 250 V, 500 V and 1000 V for testing low voltage applications. A 1000 V warning is issued prior to performing the 1000 V insulation test. Live circuit warning when performing insulation or continuity measurements a live circuit warning is displayed and an audible warning sounded if connected to a circuit with a voltage greater than 25 V (15 V for Safety lockout at voltages greater than 55 V during continuity and insulation testing, the instrument automatically warns the operator and inhibits any testing, preventing accidental damage to the instrument and full protection to the operator. The ‘Auto discharge’ facility safely discharges all circuits after an insulation test, preventing accidental shock from a stored charge on a long cable during or Low current loop test is a 3 wire non-tripping ½ loop test designed to prevent RCD tripping by using a sophisticated 15 mA loop test pioneered by Megger Limited. This NO-TRIP test ensures the RCD trip whilst performing a loop impedance test. High current loop test at 25 A provides a fast loop test where no RCD is fitted, or for Ze measurement on the Supply voltage and polarity indication upon connection to the mains supply the polarity and voltage are displayed to show correct wiring of the socket under test or test lead connections. This function also provides a warning of live voltages while continuity or insulation Phase-Phase Phase-Neutral and Phase-Earth Loop Tests are possible. No danger of damage from accidental 3- Wide supply voltage; allows loop measurements from 55 V to 480 V. No damage if accidentally connected Prospective short-circuit current (PSC) A dedicated PSC range, using either the 25 A high current loop test or no-trip test, is provided for rapid measurement of Loop currents, both at the socket outlet and distribution board. The PSC ranges from 1 A to 19.9 kA with a resolution of 1 A, 10 A and 100 A depending on range. All the loop and PSC tests are auto-ranging. 10 mA to 1000 mA RCD ranges. All standard RCDs from 10 mA to 1000 mA are fully supported. All standard RCD test functions are available with both 0° and 180° RCD ramp test measures the RCD trip current. The ramp test displays the actual trip current on all RCD ranges instead of trip time. Ideal for identifying nuisance tripping RCDs. The current is stepped up from Fault (Touch) voltage can now be set for either 25 V or 50 V depending on application. Fault/touch voltage can also be displayed up to 100 V on DC sensitive, RCD test option enables testing at 1/2I, Quick to pick up and use by using colour coded ranges and no hidden functions the MFT1500 series takes minutes to learn how to use. Function buttons are colour matched to the test mode to ensure easy Visible and audible Safety warning features are paramount with live circuit warning and protection circuitry. If live voltages exist on a circuit during insulation or continuity testing the voltage is displayed on the screen. If this voltage exceeds a safe level, the MFT1500 series inhibits further testing and a warning beeper sounds for extra safety. Large easy-to-read LCD using the patented Megger digital/analogue arc technology - combining high speed analogue clarity with digital stability. Making it easy to Economical with batteries by incorporates an auto shut off facility that operates after 5 minutes of inactivity, reducing wasted battery consumption. Innovative test lead connection has been developed for the MFT1500 series. The unique shutter system allows only those combinations of test leads permitted for safe testing to be connected.
