Execution of testing

Insulation and Conductivity tester Megger MIT40X, or equivalent, is

recommended for use in areas contaminated with explosives or
pyrotechnics

Key features of the test instrument MIT40X, shown above, are:

Isolation Mode: Voltage of 10V – 100V adjustable in steps of 1Volt

Resistance of 0- 2G & 0 - 20G according to set
voltage
test current is 5nA.

Continuity mode: Test current of 20mA or 200mA can be chosen.

The resistance ranges is 10m to 99.9.
Use of the 20mA range is recommended.

The continuity mode can be used to test low-resistance grounding of machines and
facility parts.

Recommended working procedure:

A) Continuity testing of conductive grounded facility items and machinery

 Operate the tester in isolation mode.
 Set the probing voltage to 10V
 Connect the cabinets, magazines, shelves or grounded objects to the red probing
cable. Connect black cable to ground.
When the testing cables are well connected, keep the test button pressed while reading the
display. When a value in the ohms is displayed (as opposed to an infinite reading), the
measurement can be repeated in continuity mode for a more accurate reading.
