      If the yellow CANCEL lamp lights up but glows weakly on your Megger Test Equipment, the mains voltage is probably wrong. Check to see that the mains voltage is the same as that shown on the mains nameplate.

      If the green POWER ON lamp does not light on your Megger Test Equipment, the issue is probably due to a lack of mains power. Check the mains power supply, the master ON/OFF switch, and the automatic fuse located near the mains nameplate.

    What to do if the red HIGH-VOLTAGE warning lamp does not flash on my Megger Vidar Test Equipment?

      Katie JohnsAug 21, 2025
      If the red HIGH-VOLTAGE warning lamp doesn't flash and the yellow CANCEL lamp lights up on your Megger Test Equipment, the HIGH-VOLTAGE warning lamp is likely faulty. Unscrew and remove the red protector lens (turn it anticlockwise). Push the lamp down, then twist slightly anticlockwise to release it from its bayonet socket. Pull the lamp out of its socket and replace it with a new one (Halogen 12 V, 4 W BA9S type, Megger Sweden art. no. is 34-00020). Insert the light bulb in the socket, push the lamp down, then twist slightly clockwise. Replace the red protective lens by turning it clockwise.
