■■ If the power lead supplied is not suitable for your AC connection, do not use an adaptor. Always use a Megger
approved power lead
■■ Use the supplied AC lead ONLY
■■ Supply voltage: 90 to 265 V rms ac at 50 / 60 Hz.
■■ A red LED illuminates when line power/mains is present.
■■ The battery will charge when an AC source is connected, except when a test is in progress.
■■ For optimum battery life, charge the battery after each use. Full charge duration is 2.5 hours.
■■ The battery must be charged between 0 °C and 40 °C ambient temperature. If the battery detects a
temperature outside this range the battery symbol will flash and charging will be prevented.

Functional verification
Simply turning on the instrument at the test mode switch will initiate a start-up process and the display will respond. The initialisation
screen (right) shows the firmware version.

Calibration
The DLRO100 is supplied with a calibration certificate.
An ISO17025 (UKAS) Calibration Certificate is available if ordered with the instrument.

Storage

DualGround™ and DC Clamp connection

As an additional safety precaution, perform the test with both

ends of the test object grounded.

Connect the DC clamp to one of the ground connections. The

DC clamp measures current flowing through the ground loop
and the DLRO100 compensates for this current loss automatically
resulting in a more reliable reading.

Refer to the MCPD100L manual for how to use the DC current

clamp.

Connect the earth connector to a suitable earth.

Battery indicator

The battery symbol on the LCD display contains 8 segments. The battery is monitored continuously when the instrument is turned on.
The charge remaining in the battery is indicated by segments as follows:

Fully charged battery Tests cannot be started,

insufficient charge

50% charged battery Symbol flashes when there

is not enough charge for a test
and the instrument will turn
itself off.

When mains power is present the indicator shows the battery is being
charged by animating the segments of the bar graph.

A flashing battery icon, showing the current charge level, indicates that the battery is prevented from charging due to the temperature
being out of the allowable charge temperature range, 0 ºC to 40 ºC, or that the battery has failed.

Error indicators

A lit red LED above the test button, when the instrument is not conducting a test, indicates a fault. Do NOT use the instrument if this
happens. Do not attempt to repair the instrument. See Repair and Warranty section for details.

If the internal temperature of the instrument exceeds a safe level, the test will be aborted and indicated on the screen. The
temperature must drop before testing can be continued.

Preventive maintenance

Routine inspection
Look for any cracks or other damage to the enclosure; missing ports, etc.

Cleaning
Disconnect the instrument and wipe it with a clean cloth slightly damped with water or Isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Care should be taken
near the terminals, IEC power and USB sockets.

Care of the instrument

The instrument should always be handled with care and not dropped. Always ensure that the instrument is secured when being
transported to prevent mechanical shock.

Fan cover replacement

The cover is a single piece and can be removed by unscrewing and cleaned with clean cloth. Do not use the instrument without the
fan covers in place. Do not allow the fan covers to become blocked.

Leads
Leads are silicone insulated and perform well in all weather conditions. Always keep the leads in a suitable lead bag during storage
and transportation.
Regular inspection of leads is recommended to ensure they are not damaged in any way. Damaged leads could affect resistance
readings and are a safety hazard.

Battery care
The battery should be charged at a minimum of 3 month intervals. This is to prevent deep discharge.
Never attempt to charge the battery below 0 °C or above +40 °C ambient. The battery is charged by connecting line power at the
instrument IEC power socket.
Store the instrument in a cool, dry location to improve battery life. Storage temperatures below freezing should be avoided.
