Megger MFT1553 problem!!

[Megger TSG]

Hi padmore12345

Firstly, discard the Download Manager CD and program from your computer. There are no MFT drivers on the disc. The disc was issued for future use.
It is not required as you are using the Powersuite Onsite software.

As you have mentioned the MFT and the computer are paired but you are still having connection problems.
Bluetooth within Windows uses software comms ports; it is probably this that is not set correctly that is causing your problem.

Once the MFT is successfully paired with the computer launch the Powersuite Onsite software and opens a suitable certificate, e.g. Electrical Installation Certificate and choose the Schedule Of Tests Results page.

At the top of the screen, note the File, Edit, Options, Window, Help menu headers
Click on the Options menu and choose Bluetooth Preferences.

A window will open displaying your MFT pairing code and a comm number will be displayed with the option to change to alternative numbers. Basically only comm numbers with (B) suffix are used for Bluetooth communication. You will see there are many software comm. numbers but only a few with (B) suffix.

Simply it is now a matter of elimination, choose a (B) number and select OK.
Conduct a 500v insulation test (leads are not needed) and select L-E on the Red Bluetooth button, hold the Red to transmit to the certificate. If a Blue requester appears the Bluetooth connection is complete, however if a Red requester appears with the MFT displaying Err then it is a matter of choosing a different (B) comm. number.
In practice this selection should only take a few minutes.

It should be mentioned that this procedure only is required on a handful of Bluetooth devices, pairing only is generally sufficient.

thanks megger tsg


got it working now after doing the change com ports thing. seems i bit intermittent but i think that may be my bluetooth dongle, aparantly some are a bit moody with vista.

i dont suppose you know if megger are planning an iphone app of the software to download your results to do you? or what phone you can recommend to buy 2nd hand for the sole purpose of results transferring.

many thanks

Hi padmore12345

The iphone operates on Apple software, at the moment there are no plans for Apple orientated software.
A phone running Windows 5 will work perfectly on the Onsite software.

Hi Fresh,

When I paired my Megger to my N95 it just worked, I can't remember how I acheived this though as I gave up because the software was just to difficult to use on my phone.

I have paired it to a Netbook and have found this to work really well.

Hope this helps,

Andy

hi skiandy

it didn't really answer my question but thanks.
just a quick question you said you have yours linked to your net book reet? so every time you do some testing you have to have your laptop out to recieve the results? or can the megger store results then transfer later.

Thanks fresh

You are correct, Powersuite will not run on your version of Symbian OS
Hopefully a suitable driver will be available soon

hi megger tsg

do you know how to bluetooth pair it to a dell axim pda running windows mobile? im having some serious head scratching going on.

basically whats happening is i press my bluetooth icon on the pda select the options 'turn on bluetooth' ' make this device discoverable to other devices' click on the devices tab and i start a new 'partnership' and it finds the mft1553. i press this then it says select the services to use from this device, i click serial port then save. then i go out of the bluetooth settings page and my bluetooth icon turns green temporarily then goes back to blue.

i then start up ultra mobile and if i have a cert open in the pda and do a ir test then bluetooth the results over, nothing sends?

is it anything to do with the com ports tab on the pda on this occasion.


thanks in advance
