Megger good price?

[telectrix]

logs are for putting on the fire. 1552 or 1553 all the way. with a 1553, the bluetooth is a pain anyway, so just don't use it. either of the above can be got 2nd hand for around £300, calibrated if you're lucky.

1720 still for sale

firmware 2.08

11 months calibration + Megger warranty
£400 ono

 

[telectrix]

now that's a bargain for OP.

 

[telectrix]

Other than the lack of the auto RCD test function. Is there anything else that this tester is lacking?

Thanks

other than roads, sanitation, education, what have the romans ever done for us?

 

[chcnorris29]

is the 1720 newer/better than the 1502, 1552/3 then?

thanks

The 1700 series came out in about 2010 to replace the 1550 series

the first 18 months of service had lots of issues until the firmware was V 1.09 or greater this solved most issues

Firmware V2.08 is the latest

We had 3 new 1720. All failed 1st year calibration. However as said above this seems to be sorted now.

 

[trypod]

The 1st year calibration of a 1700 series is best done by Megger so the firmware can be updated and any issues sorted under warranty
Megger calibration is about £65.00

Auto RCD? Does the one you are selling have the 13 amp plug top cable with it and what accessories come with it?

Thanks
