merger 1730 help, zs, ze, pfc

[N6rul]

Hello guys, just bought a merger 1730, I'm a bit confused on what range to put the turning knobs, for the ze, zs, and pfc. As I'm used to the fluke mft, I bought this as my first MFT, as advised on the forum. But it has so many functions????? Please can someone help. Thank you.

I bought it from eBay. No instructions. Just wanted to know for the zs would it be the high current or low current setting.

The merger site isn't working, try the megger site instead! Megger - Megger MFT1700 Series under resources for the user guide.

Depends whether you have an RCD protecting the circuit. If no RCD, you'll get a faster and more accurate result with the high current test.

Ze(L to E) -Knob 1 L-E, knob 2 Z or Zmax if you want the tester to remember your highest reading. Plug the test leads in + red and - green in the tester. PEFC is displayed at the same time.

Ze(L to L or L to N) -Knob 1 L-L/L-N, knob 2- Z,test leads plug in - red and blue on tester.PSCC will show at the same time.

PFC ( choose highest of two)- from tests above.

Zs - use 3 leads or the special lead with plug on the end(should be supplied), plug cables into apropriate holes in the tester and plug the plug in the socket or test at apropriate terminals...
