Where did you get it from

If it was mail order then distance selling regs and sales of goods act both apply its defective and you are entitled to your money back.

If bought local sales of goods act still applies and you want your money back, if you settle for a repair or anything else how are you going to feel if it goes wrong again during your assessment. So you need another one pronto.

Good luck

Do you think it will matter if i subtract the lead resistance from the circuit reading.The nic assessor wont fail me

Thats actually a requirement if it dosent do it so they would fail you without it. Im not familiar with your machine I use a meg 1552. But thinking about it could it be playing up cos the batteries need replacing or am I an idiot

join the leads together Do not press TEST only press Zero then a symbol should come up on the screen.

It was the batteries after all. The tester worked spot on apart from the fact it wouldnt null. Bring back my megger and all is forgiven. lol

I don't know if have sorted this out as I have the same meter, its often the leads that need replacing but the process i use connect red and green lead together press null it shows a reading typically 0.18 thats not your new null reading its what it has taken out of the leads. I always leave the leads connected then press the test button after nulling it should now show you a zero reading, these meters also start playing up if the voltage on batteries starts getting towards 7 volts hope this helps
