Update re Di-log 9083p
I made a holster from a neoprene laptop skin (found under the sofa) and an old bike rack strap so the handsfree thing was great, just press test lock and away you go, still the megger's are better here but remember this is a sub £200 budget. The rcd tests are very quick and it is a very light unit for a multifunction.
Downsides- the earth loop tests seem a bit erratic but i mostly r1r2 everything- just link out the earth bar and live bar at the (off) Db. Unfortunately i put the probes on live terminals whilst continuity was still locked on, and blew the internal fuse (see my oyher thread AAAAGGHHH i blew my meter), then i bridged it with wire and was stupid enough to do it again later. So i'd say the major downside is that it is not a 'live proof' meter- but it would be if supplied with a pack of spare fuses
Gonna get it repaired or get another though- just to make use of my homemade holster!!
