Megger 1553 on site or Megger 1552 + EasyCert

[Sintra]

Go to the schedule of test results page on the cert and click on a results box as if you were going to type in result.

Get a result on meter just try it a continuity reading.

Scroll by pressing red button on meter until it comes to say R2 then press and hold red button and result should transfer to PC.

I have just bought the MFT1553 with lite on site powersuite and am totally lost how to use the software, the Megger instructions are terrible and seem to concentrate on PAT testing, I have loaded the software on to my laptop and paired the insrument on bluetooth but can not get any test reading to fire to the cert, any courses around or an expert user out there anywhere ?

Hi Trebor

It may well be a comm number issue that is blocking transfer of data. If you email Megger Technical Support ([email protected]) then we will be able to assist you.

I am a very IT orientated person, having being involved with computing for 20 years. I feel this software does not save any time. It is quicker for me to write down the results on a photocopy schedule and then type my certificate out in the software later. The bluetooth thing is just gimmicky for me. It takes longer to set your PDA to the correct field, do the test then press the transmit button and send each reading to the PDA. If the megger MFT 1553 had the facility to store all results then it might work but holding a PDA as well as the tester and wander lead, etc. is something an octopus would struggle with. For me I was disappointed, but thankfully my meter just came with powersuite anyway.... I didn't specifically order it. Personally I would have a look at it before you commit your cash.
