I'm trying to repair my Megger MIT320 which has developed a fault on the low Ohms continuity range.
The high continuity range works correctly.
Insulation ranges also work correctly.
The instrument outputs a test voltage just under 5V.
The sensing circuit sees that the leads are connected to a circuit and operates the internal relay.
However, on low Ohms, the test current is only 1.5mA, but should increase to about 205mA if the applied resistance is low enough.
With null not active, negative zero is flashing.
With leads nulled, displayed readings are a fraction of the applied value, presumably due to the low test current.
Any hints or tips, maybe a schematic would be gratefully received.
Someone did say this was a common fault caused when the instrument was applied to a live circuit. But that is supposed to affect the K Ohm range too.
However this wasn't the case, I was in the middle of testing a whole lot of cables which weren't connected to anything other than a row of wago terminals each end, with no links in.
Also the instrument is supposed to be idiot proof, inhibiting the test and automatically switching to voltage range of any voltage is present.
TIA,
Simon.
