the battery charge indicator.
If the battery fails to recharge after numerous attempts, contact a Megger approved service centre for advice.
Functional verification
Simply turning on the instrument at the test mode switch will initiate a start-up process
and the display will respond. The initialisation screen (right) shows the firmware version.
Calibration
The DLRO100 is supplied with a calibration certificate.
An ISO17025 (UKAS) Calibration Certificate is available if ordered with the instrument.

Preparations for Use
Storage
Instruments should be stored within its temperature and humidity specifications.
Intermittent operation limits
The DLRO100 is a high-power instrument and, as such, can generate significant heat. To prevent damage, the
instrument contains internal thermal protection which can disable the test current if excessive temperature rise is
detected. In this event, the thermometer symbol will be displayed on the screen. If this should occur, switch the
instrument off and allow it to cool before repeating the test. If possible, do not position the instrument in direct
sunlight.

Operating instructions
5. Operating instructions

As an additional safety precaution, perform the test with
both ends of the test object grounded.
Connect the DC clamp to one of the ground

connections. The DC clamp measures current
flowing through the ground loop and the DLRO100
compensates for this current loss automatically resulting
in a more reliable reading.
Refer to the MCPD100L manual for how to use the DC

current clamp.
Connect the earth connector to a suitable earth. Do not

leave the earth connection un-terminated or floating.

Battery indicator
10. Battery indicator

The battery symbol on the LCD display contains 8 segments. The battery is monitored continuously when the
instrument is turned on. The charge remaining in the battery is indicated by segments as follows:
Tests cannot be started,

Fully charged battery
insufficient charge
Symbol flashes when
there is not enough
50% charged battery charge for a test and the
instrument will turn itself
off.
When mains power is present the indicator shows the battery is being
charged by animating the segments of the bar graph.
A flashing battery icon, showing the current charge level, indicates that the battery is prevented from charging due to
the temperature being out of the allowable charge temperature range, 0 ºC to 40 ºC, or that the battery has failed.
11. Error indicators

A lit red LED above the test button, when the instrument is not conducting a test, indicates a fault. Do NOT use the
instrument if this happens. Do not attempt to repair the instrument. See Repair and Warranty section for details.
If the internal temperature of the instrument exceeds a safe level, the test will be aborted and indicated on the screen.
The temperature must drop before testing can be continued.

Preventive maintenance
12. Preventive maintenance
Routine inspection
Look for any cracks or other damage to the enclosure; missing ports, etc.
Cleaning
Disconnect the instrument and wipe it with a clean cloth slightly damped with water or Isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Care
should be taken near the terminals, IEC power and USB sockets.
Care of the instrument
The instrument should always be handled with care and not dropped. Always ensure that the instrument is secured
when being transported to prevent mechanical shock.
Fan cover replacement
The cover is a single piece and can be removed by unscrewing and cleaned with clean cloth. Do not use the instrument
without the fan covers in place. Do not allow the fan covers to become blocked.
Leads
Leads are silicone insulated and perform well in all weather conditions. Always keep the leads in a suitable lead bag
during storage and transportation.
Regular inspection of leads is recommended to ensure they are not damaged in any way. Damaged leads could affect
resistance readings and are a safety hazard.
Battery care
The battery should be charged at a minimum of 3 month intervals. This is to prevent deep discharge.
Never attempt to charge the battery below 0 °C or above +40 °C ambient. The battery is charged by connecting line
power at the instrument IEC power socket.
Store the instrument in a cool, dry location to improve battery life. Storage temperatures below freezing should be
avoided.
