Paul P Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Ive found a meter, metrel ML3000 that seems to fit the bill. Just over £400, bargain, might buy 2! I agree with mr happy, we had 4 of them and had to give up and replace the lot you could not trust the readings. Replaced them with kewtech but always away for repair. Would not touch anything but a megger now. Quote Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) My Metrel is on its way out, I do trust the readings but the thing won't always switch on... As for certs, Minor works is only a page so I've long since wordified one. http://electrical.theiet.org/wiring-regulations/forms/ - all official and free [EDIT - Oops, as Paul already posted!)

Simlec Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 And don't forget your tester must be calibrated every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datadiffusion Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 But a lot of electrical trade counters have 'calibration days', where you get it for a bargain as the cal comp get to do 100s at once and make a packet themselves. Wilts and I think CEF always used to do it. It was always a proper co. with accreditation (not from China!) etc...

Rulland Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 And don't forget your tester must be calibrated every year. Not according to my NICEIC assessor a couple of months ago, he said as long as it was tested regularly against a known socket etc, and readings didn't obviously fluctuate, then that was a good enough check to say the calibration was still valid-though I'm a bit wary of the ramifications if somat occured etc, I'll still get it done yearly to save any problems tbh.

norman Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'd be questioning that advice. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
