They do!

It is available on the Megger Facebook page and on their YouTube site.

They also have videos on there that show you exactly how to use all the functions in your new 1552 ;-)

You can find these by going to facebook or youtube and searching on meggeruk (all one word)
You don't need to be signed up to facebook or youtube to watch them

I will post the links below but not sure if they will work on this forum (some forums block or remove links)

It loops through the plastic loop on the sie then fastenes back onto the velcro part of the strap. Use the little strap too for a longer strap

Lol!

I spent a good hour working out how the strap went....cursing and swearing...studying pictures of blokes using meggers!

suggest that if you cant fit the strap then you best keep away from the electrics!!

[vitoboy]

lol.
the tester is simplisity its self.................but the ******* strap.....
ive never seen another tester that needs its own utube page to fit the strap...can there be another..
great tester though.

i find it harder to get the strap in the box to get the lid shut. soon as i let go of the strap it flops out.

lmao I was too embarrassed to mention it took me a good half hour to work the strap out !

On a lighter note I hated the 1553 when I got it, as I had singles before, but now I have got used to it it's bliss, even if they have put the buttons in back to front ! although not exclusively a Meggar function I like the auto RCD test it's a real joy just to sit at the board and keep resetting the RCD's, then pick the meter up and scroll through all the test results.

How you got on with the strap?

Or one of the fasteners is getting trapped inside...! (and even though this happens a few times you still do it without realising the next time....?!)
