    Features
    CAT IV 600 V rating Provides greater safety when testing at higher voltage levels
    Adjustable insulation test voltages Provides 250 V to 1000 V or 50 V to 1000 V
    Dual digital display readout Allows display of complimentary test information simultaneously (for example: MΩ plus test voltage or MΩ plus leakage current)
    Digital and analog arc display Includes not only the digital readout but also Megger’s patented analog arc to replicate the response of a moving coil display
    Exceptional measurement range from 20 GΩ to 200 GΩ Highest insulation test range available on the market, providing a superior range of measurement applications.
    Choice of 20 mA or 200 mA continuity testing Allows user to select lower continuity range thus increasing battery life considerably
    Continuity auto-test capability Enables real two-handed operation without the need to press the test button
    Adjustable continuity limit alarm Allows pass/fail limits to be sent to speed testing
    Automatically perform PI and DAR tests User is able to quickly perform two important diagnostic tests... Polarization Index (PI) and Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR)
    True RMS voltage measurement Allows accurate voltage measurement on noisy lines
    Auto ranging voltage measurement Automatically adjusts range from millivolts to 600 V AC or DC, eliminating the need to keep changing ranging
    Live circuit warning Automatically warns of contact to a live circuit, voltage is displayed and testing is inhibited
    Auto fuse warning Warns of fuse failure automatically. No need to test the fuse manually.
    Buzzer select button Enable or disable buzzer as required with resistance also displayed on the screen

    Instrument Safety
    The Megger MIT420 is designed to meet all of the requirements of IEC1010-2 and EN61557 and meets the safety requirements for use on CAT IV 600 V.

    Specific safety features include:
    • Any live circuit detection inhibits any insulation testing on circuits above 50 V (75 volts on Telecom models)
    • Any live circuit detection and test inhibit on continuity measurements
    • Default display of live circuit voltage on all ranges
    • Detection and inhibit features function even if the protections fuse has failed

    Also, fast detection circuitry prevents damage to the instruments if accidentally connected to live circuits or across phases.

    Instrument Dual Digital Display
    The Megger MIT/420 offers an impressive dual digital display readout. The Megger MIT40X allows complimentary information to be displayed simultaneously such as:
    • MΩ plus test voltage
    • MΩ plus leakage current
    • Capacitance plus cable length (a test measurement for telecom applications)
    The second digital display simultaneously displays the following information, depending upon the mode of operation or function chosen:
    • Insulation voltage being delivered
    • INS test modes
    • Leakage current
    • Test current
    • Timer modes
    • Countdown times
    • Cable length
