Cheers dude,

Cheers dude,

As far I can tell I have received an 'AS NEW' unit. It has:
an unmarked case (which still has the protective film on the screen);
all leads are in re-sealable bags (which contained a 3-pin plug, 3 test leads / crocodile clips / GS38 tips);
red test probe with 2 interchangeable tips;
Megger Powersuite CD-Rom;
Megger Product Documents CD-Rom;
Megger MFT1500 Series Demonstration CD-Rom;
Megger H&S ‘Fused Leads’ leaflet;
Megger Warranty card;
Megger MFT1500 Series Quick Start Guide;
Megger Calibration Cerificate; and
SkySmart Calibration Certificate.
If I’m missing something please let me know ...

I have posted this previously, but just in case you have missed it, here is a guide to the procedure of using the Fluke 1653/4 memory. ......

Cheers for the info dude, but hopefully the Megger will now work for me for the foreseeable future.

Nice to see our combined advise (Tel , myself and others), in this and other posts, has not fallen on deaf ears. Good choice Skimpy Wan! It's difficult to tell which Megger MFT 15xx you have bought from the above, however, which ever Megger MFT 15xx you have chosen, congratulations on avoiding the Fluke alternatives which all use inferior loop and continuity test methods.
It's such a shame that Megger made the blue-tooth data storage /transfer so complicated and counter-intuitive on the MFT1530 and MFT1730 otherwise they would be the market leaders.
Megger, if you are reading this, look at the local forms method used on the Seaward 1557 Power Test, if you can adopt a similar but simpler method of filling/downloading IEE, NICIEC, ECA, ELECSA and NAPIT forms, you will be on to a market winner.

I have the 1652c and have found it to be more than capable

skimpy. let us know what you think of the 1553. forget the bluetooth, it's crap. 1 big bonus of the megger over the fluke is that you don't have to press the test button on continuity. that means you can actually use it with 2 hands, unlike the 3 hands required with the fluke.
