I haven't got one of these, but just a thought, have you tried new batteries.

Not something simple like one of the fuses gone?

 

[rusty196500]

Batteries & fuses are worth a look will check when I'm back to site does anyone know if there are specific error definitions available thanks

Try phoning the calibration centre at stafford.

I don't know if this helps, but on a 1720 a fault code 79 is a faulty main selector switch.

Ring the megger customer hotline. Number should be on the little gaurantee booklet that came with the machine - they are very helpful and free to call.

Had a code come up on mine last year when signing off a new CCU install. It wouldn't let me do pfc's & ze's. Turned out it was due to my Megger not liking 'interference or noise on the measurement line' ?

Agree with a Rusty196500, why don't they include in their operational guide all the fault codes which could be generated???

It could be like the fault codes on cars, the garage charges you £95 just to plug it in. "Oh Sir, our machine has come up with code 12345 and it will cost £50 + vat + the plugging in fee to fix it." Code 12345 turns out to be a 20amp fuse for the cigarette lighter. 10p from Halfords.
