Radical ergonomic design

Developed after extensive consultation with electrical contractors, Megger's new MFT1500-series combination testers are a real departure from many ‘meter in a box’ instruments currently on the market. Convenient and straightforward to operate, even for first-time users, their radically new ergonomic design ensures they can be hand-held, supported by a neck strap, or simply placed on a flat surface. The large, clear display remaining easily visible, and the test selectors readily to hand at all times.

Tough and safe

Very attractively priced, MFT1500-series testers provide all of the functions required by electrical contractors in a single, compact and very robust instrument. To ensure maximum protection for 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.

Fully featured including a non-trip loop test

Megger's new combination testers are offered in two versions. The low-cost MFT1501 provides facilities which include continuity testing with an adjustable-threshold buzzer, continuity measurement up to 99.9kohms, insulation testing at up 1,000V, standard and DC-sensitive RCD testing, RCD ramp testing, non-tripping and high-current loop tests, three-phase loop testing, and prospective short-circuit current measurement.

Exciting innovations

To these basic features, the MFT1502 adds backlighting not only to the display, but also to the selector switches, making the instrument particularly easy to use in poorly lit areas. Other features include an illuminated switch probe, and a durable carrying case.

The illuminated switch probe - the first of its type - provides a convenient light-source at the probe tip, which makes testing much easier, and includes a test button which greatly facilitates single-handed use. Also incorporated in the probe are interchangeable probe tips for reaching difficult terminals. as well as a status LED which shows red if the instrument is connected to a live circuit when the insulation range is selected, and green when a valid test result is displayed.
