10 Ampere Systems
Section A
INTRODUCTION
Part 1.0 of this manual applies to a series of instruments;
the principal models are Catalog Numbers 247000,
247001, 247002. Part 2.0 describes the 100 Ampere
systems including catalog numbers 247100, 247101 and
247120.
The Catalog No. 247000 Digital Low Resistance
Ohmmeter is a portable, rugged instrument that provides a
direct-reading digital display of resistance in five ranges. It
is powered by self-contained rechargeable batteries. A
battery charger, operating from J1SV 50/60 Hz, is
furnished in a separate package.
The Catalog No. 247001 is similar to Catalog No. 247000
except that it has a built-in, line-operated charger.

The Catalog No. 247100 is a 100 Ampere Test System
composed of a Catalog No. 247000 Measuring Module,
and a Cat. No. 247120 100-amp power supply. The
Catalog No. 24701 is also a 100 ampere test system.
The ohmmeter has four terminals for a Kelvin connection
to the sample under test, and it is recommended that
Biddle test leads shown in Bulletin 24-1 be used with this
instrument.
Panel features include a two-position on-off switch that
allows continuous or momentary operation, and on the
rechargeable battery models a meter to indicate relative
state of charge of the internal batteries.
A prop is provided to keep the lid in a partly open position
so that it can be used as a sunshade when reading the
digital display in bright sunlight.
The Catalog No. 247002 is similar to Catalog No. 247001
except that it has an extra 600 µΩ range.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER
La seguridad es la responsabilidad del operador
WARNING
F
F
Do NOT connect this instrument to energized
circuits.
The Digital Low Resistance Ohmmeters have been
designed and constructed to meet the requirements of
ANSI/ISDA S82.01-1994. There is no shock hazard from
the instrument itself and it may be used freely in wet or
outdoor environments. The line-operated battery charger
and the A.C. supply, however, should be used and
maintained by trained personnel who are familiar with the
usual precautions for handling line-operated equipment.
DO NOT USE IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE (This
includes poorly ventilated battery rooms and
enclosures.)

Section C
RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONS
READ COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING
Your Digital Low Resistance Ohmmeter has been
thoroughly tested and inspected to rigid specifications
before being shipped and is ready for use. Check the
equipment received against the packing list. Notify
Megger, Norristown, PA 19403 of any shortage of
materials. The instrument should be examined for damage
received in transit. If any damage is found, file a claim with
the carrier at once and notify Megger or its nearest
representative giving a detailed description of the damages
observed.
Charge batteries overnight before initial use of instrument.
Refer to Section G for charging procedure. Check for
correct operation of the instrument by connecting it to a
resistor of known value. See Section G, Operating
Procedure.
