I just thought I'd mention that version 8.1 is now released.
It adds 2 languages, and does claim to speed up some tests.

It's a fairly simple process to update it:

Hi All,
I am looking for some firmware files for the Menvier 40 Panel.
I am aware of the scantrionic website, and have downloaded the BIN file from there, but they do not have any language files listed.
If anyone has a copy of the the firmware they are willing to share, that would be most...
It's a simple question. Velux 3LR A02 WW wont turn on
So I have two Velux 3LR A02 WW to sort out - I've tried with the USB Ports and the battery and they will show flash of life but nothing is loading - expecting the Velux loading screen but just black and flash of white then black.
So I...
Bought a new Freesat 55" Samsung TV and couldn't watch strictly tonight due to a noticeable speech sync/sound issue on HD. Any ideas what causes this, have updated firmware etc and issue seemed to go away once Michael McKintyre got on?
Hi All,
Does anyone know what the latest firmware version for this tester is? Mine is on 3.54, which was an AM1 release and Metrel does not seem to have any newer AM3 firmware for this flagship tester despite newer AM3 firmware now being available for their other testers such as the 3100.
I did...
Just created a quick tutorial for upgrading the firmware on a Metrel MFT so that it has the AMD3 figures installed. There'll be no awards for production quality of the video, but hopefully it will get you sorted.
Also, I have a serial-USB adapter to do this with (obviously) - if you don't want...
I have an 4kWp system (16 250w Sanyo panels) installed in late 2011 with the subject inverter. Somewhat to my surprise I discovered that the inverter is "throttled" not output more than 3600 watts. I understand a firmware upgrade can be installed to remove this limit. That brings me to my...

Does anyone have issues with this test and how accurate is a No trip test?
I find my readings seem to change a fair bit testing the same circuit a few times.
This is using a 1730.
"Hello All",
I wondered if anyone else has heard the RUMOUR that Sky are going to broadcast a Firmware Update around September which will have the `accidental effect` of removing the Set Up Option within the Engineers Set Up Menu to turn Power ON to the Digi-box RF2 Output / Remote Control...
A friend of mine has offered me theses for £250. Very good condition but he now works for a company who provides them with testing equipment.
Are they worth the price? And has anyone used these? I know the auto rcd is a draw back but I don't do huge installations so not much a problem.
Thanks

I was doing it on l/pe z with red and green lead but was getting a big difference between reading with my old megger. Both calebrated. Normal test procedure used. Main earth diaconnected

Hello, I'm a dutch electrician and I want to buy a Megger Installation Tester. I working in the Solar environment and find out that the Megger 1835 (incl RCD B) is good for me. Now I learned that there is also a Megger 1730 and this one looks the same. The 1730 is for the UK and the 1835 is non...
Hi
I have just been testing a freezer compressor as its tripping the RCD. The Megger was working fine but now shows FU5 and wont give a reading on the ohms scale. Anyone had this before? its still under warranty so I am reluctant to take it apart other than checking the fuses inside the...

Hi all, was very sad on thursday, picked up my megger 1720 which had old firmware on, V1.01, hence would trip rcd, rcbo's out on low setting loop tests, wasnt impressed at all, took it back and got another one with firmware V2.05, works perfectly very happy now, thanks for those who replyed to...
