SAFETY WARNINGS

•Safety Warnings and Precautions must be read and understood before the instrument is used. They

must be observed during use.

•The circuit under test must be de-energised and isolated before connections are made except for

voltage measurement.

•Circuit connectionsmust not be touched during a test.

•After insulation tests, capacitive circuits must be allowed to discharge before disconnecting the test

leads.

•The Live Circuit Warning and Automatic Discharge are additional safety features and should not be

regarded as a substitute for normal safe working practice.

•Replacement fusesmust be of the correct type and rating. Failure to ﬁt the correctly rated fuse will result

in damage to the instrument in the event of an overload.

•Test leads, including crocodile clips, must be in good order, clean and have no broken or cracked

insulation.

•Ensure that hands remain behind guards of probes/clips when testing.

•U.K. Safety Authorities recommend the use of fused test leads when measuring voltage on high energy

systems.

NOTE

THE INSTRUMENTS MUSTONLY BE USED BYSUITABLY TRAINED AND COMPETENTPERSONS

Users of this equipment and/or their employers are reminded that Health and Safety Legislation require them to carry out valid risk assessments

of all electrical work so as to identify potential sources of electrical danger and risk of electrical injury such as from inadvertent short circuits.

Where the assessments show that the risk is signiﬁcant then the use of fused test leads constructed in accordance with the HSE guidance note

GS38 ‘Electrical Test Equipment for use by Electricians’ should be used.

Description

Congratulations on your purchase of a genuine

Megger insulation/continuity tester. Megger has

over 100 years experience in insulation testing

which is reﬂected in its product designs. Your

BMM500 has been carefully developed to

address the real needs and beneﬁts of the user.

The Megger BMM500 Series instruments are

battery powered Insulation and Continuity

testers, with a measurement capability from

0,01ΩContinuity to 10GΩInsulation.

Offering multi-voltage facilities, the instruments

take full advantage of microprocessor technology

and feature a large liquid crystal display

combining digital and analogue readings. The

analogue display has the beneﬁt of indicating

trends and ﬂuctuations in readings, while the

digital readout gives direct accurate results. The

display is also backlit giving clear visibility even

in low light conditions.

The BMM500 Series instruments have the

unique capability of being able to measure

voltages down to a resolution of 0,1mV. This

gives the user the option to ﬁt a wide variety of

transducers to further enhance the capabilities

of the BMM Series instruments, eg temperature

or humidity measurement.

Acustomised connector on the top of the

instrument enables the optional Megger SP1

Switched Probe to be used for two handed

probe operation.

The 250V, 500V and 1000V ranges can be

used to test electrical installations in compliance

with BS7671 (16th Edition IEE Wiring

Regulations) IEC364 and HD384, since each

range has a 1mA minimum test current at the

minimum pass values of insulation speciﬁed in

these documents. Designed to IEC1010-1 the

BMM500 Series are protected against

connection to a 300V Category III supply. The

instruments have a basic accuracy of ±2% at

20°C. The instruments are waterproof and

dustproof to IP54. This helps maintain accuracy

and ensures maximum reliability in harsh

environments.

Operation

Refer to Safety Warnings before using

the instrument

Testing is automatically inhibited if:

•An external voltage >55V is present when

switched to any insulation range position

• An external voltage >10V is present on all

other ranges (excluding OFF/V).

The external voltage is indicated on the display,

on insulation ranges an audible bleeper will

sound if a test is attempted.

Live Circuit Warning

When more than 25V is applied to the terminals

in the insulation ranges, the instrument defaults

to a voltmeter and gives an audible warning.

On all other switch positions except OFF/V

when approx 10V is applied the default

voltmeter will be activated. Testing will be

inhibited.

Voltage Testing on High Energy Systems

Use extreme care when using or measuring

voltages above 30V, particularly in high energy

systems. Fused test leads are available as

optional accessories for local situations where

increased protection is required.

Auto-shut Off

To conserve battery life, Auto-shut Off (preceded by

a series of bleeps) operates after approx.

10 minutes of instrument inactivity on

insulation, 5 minutes on all other ranges. If the

instrument is switched on whilst holding the

key, the Auto shut-off time is extended to

60 minutes. To restore operation after Auto-

shut Off, select OFF followed by the required

switch position.

Note: It is recommended that the instrument is

switched to the OFF position when not

in use.

Backlight

The backlight is activated by pressing the

key. The backlight will remain illuminated

for approx. one minute before automatically

switching off to conserve battery life,

∼

Operation

alternatively the key can be re-pressed.

Insulation Tests (MΩ)(See ﬁg. 1)

The insulation tests apply a known voltage to

the circuit under test and measure the resulting

leakage current. The circuit under testmust be

completely de-energised and isolated before

test connections are made.

Insulation tests are only initiated when the

TEST button is pressed.

1. Set the range switch to the test voltage

required.

2. Connect the test leads, ﬁrst to the

instrument, and then to the isolated item

under test.

3. Press the TEST button to activate the test

voltage. Take the reading.

4. Release the TEST button at the end of the

test.

5. Any capacitive circuits charged during a test

will automatically discharge. If signiﬁcant

voltage remains the voltage warning will

occur and the voltage present displayed.

6. Remove the test leads only when no

voltage is indicated.

Locking Test Button (ltb)

When it is desired to do a long insulation test,

the test can be ‘locked on’ by pressing the

key while the test button is held down.

The warning will appear on the display and

both buttons may be released whilst the test

continues. The next press of the test button will

terminate the test.

Note: There is a short delay on the ﬁrst operation

of ‘1000V’ range, each time the range is

selected. This is to prevent accidental

application of 1kV.

Polarisation Index Testing

Polarisation Index (PI) is the term applied to the

Dielectric Absorption Ratio when resistance

values are measured after 1 minute and again

after 10 minutes. Polarization Index is then the

resistance value after 10 minutes divided by the

resistance value after 1 minute. The test can be

run at any voltage. More detailed information

∼

Operation

on PI Testing and value assessment can be

found in Megger Limited publications listed in

the Accessories page.

Automatic Discharge

When the TEST button is released after an

insulation test (or re-pressed if ltb feature is

enabled), a 200kΩload is automatically

switched across the terminals to discharge the

item under test. Any voltage present will be

indicated on the display so that the discharge

can be monitored.

Typical Terminal Voltage Characteristics

Continuity Testing (Ω)(See ﬁg.2)

The continuity tests are activated when the

probes make contact of less than a few kΩ. The

tests apply a constant current and measure the

resulting volt drop across the circuit under test.

The test operates without the need to press the

TEST button. When the test leads are removed

Fig.1

Operation

the reading will hold for a few seconds and then

reset. This range is not suitable for diode

testing since the automatic contact detector will

not be activated when connected to a diode.

1. Set the selector switch to Ω.

2. Connect the test leads.

3. The test will activate automatically.

4. After the test probes are disconnected, the

reading will be held for a few seconds.

Zeroing of Test Lead Resistance

The resistance of the test leads can be nulled

on the continuity range (up to 9,99Ω). The null

information is retained in non-volatile memory

and so will be remembered when the instrument is

switched off.

1. Select the Continuity range.

2. Short the test leads across a known good

conductor using prods.

3. When the reading has stabilised, press the

TEST button. The zero offset symbol

will appear.

4. To release the zero offset press the TEST

button again.

Possible sources of error

Measurements and results can be effected by

the following:

•The impedance of operating circuits

connected in parallel

•Impedance such as inductors that vary during

the measurement

•Apoor connection to the circuit under test.
