Mpoy222 - are these the leads you have?[/QUOTE]

hi yes they are the ones you can see the little bit that sticks out at an angle and stopped it going in my socket and see. I dunno maybe it was the socket adaptor that was different but i tried some other leads and they fit fine so its a mystery

Hmmm, i dont have those leads.

I have got the original ones with the clear shrouds.

Going OT slightly, but does anyone have issues with continuity readings?

During the tests the readings jump up and down and dont really stabilise?

Hi Jason. Yep I've noticed that sometimes. Have no idea why it is happening with the MFT

Well, at this moment i am in email comms with a person at Megger, which hopefully means an answer.

Ill keep this updated. :icon14:

hi jason, dont know if its relevant, just had mine back from megger, i was getting wierd readings on l-pe non trip mode, they've done a software upgrade, maybe worth looking into, maybe send it back for calibration (they'll upgrade it) i have the same issue with the socket and see and new leads.... bought in jan 2012, nice meter..

It seems to take a moment or two to stabilise and then bleeps to register the continuity reading?
