If the power lead supplied is not suitable for your type of mains outlet, do
not use an adaptor. Always use a power lead fitted with the correct plug.
NB: A plug severed from the power lead is a hazard if plugged into a live
socket. Severed plugs must be destroyed immediately.
The instrument is fitted with a two-pin IEC60320 power inlet. Most power
leads are made with three-core cable so the ground connection will not
be used.
Power lead cable colour coding:
International USA
Earth/Ground Yellow/Green Green
Neutral Blue White
Live (Line) Brown Black
If using a fused plug ensure it is fitted with a 3 Amp fuse.
The instrument can be powered from 95 - 240 V rms, ±10% 50/60Hz.
With power connected the battery will charge as long as a test is not in
progress. The
Power On/Off button has a green LED which illuminates
when mains power is present.
For best battery lifetime, charge the battery after each use. A completely
exhausted battery will take 14 hours to recharge.

The MIT510 is a compact microprocessor controlled high voltage d.c.
insulation tester, powered by internal rechargeable battery or mains
supply. A comprehensive LCD display shows resistance, current,
capacitance, voltage and timer measurements digitally, with resistance
being shown in analogue as well.
Features include:
■
Resistance or current measurement- front panel selectable
■
Resistance measurement range - 10 kΩ to 15 TΩ
■
Front panel selectable test voltages - 250 V, 500 V, 1000 V, 2500 V, 5000 V
■
Incremental timer (minutes & seconds) – measures during test
■
Load capacitance measurement – displayed at end of a test
■
LCD backlight – front panel selectable
■
Battery level/charging indicator
■
Mains (line) input presence LED
■
High voltage warning flashing LED shows when greater than 50 V
present on test leads
■
High voltage warning LCD "flash" shows when greater than 50 V
present on test leads
■
8 hours continuous testing on full charge.
