The Megger BM400/2 Series of autoranging insulation and continuity testers, provides simplicity of use in a hand-held instrument designed to IEC1010-1 safety standards. The BM400/2 Series offers a range of single, dual and multi-voltage variants to fit specific applications. The insulation ranges output the nominal test voltage when loaded with 1 mA as specified within these standards. The continuity ranges have a short circuit test current of at least 200 mA. In addition to the insulation and continuity ranges, the BM400/2 series has a resistance range and 2 voltage ranges. The resistance range measures up to 100k ohm on the digital scale and up to 10 M ohm on the analog scale. Due to the low test voltage and current of this range, the instruments can be used to test circuits with sensitive equipment connected, without causing damage. |

ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS
- The BM400/2 series, designed for flexibility and versatility, has a wide variety of applications and is ideal for testing
electrical installations to the British and International Wiring Regulations. Each instrument in the series conforms to the
requirements of Table 71 A in BS 7671, and to VDE 0413 parts 1 and 4, HD384 and IEC364.
- The BM400/2 series can be used in both the domestic and industrial contracting environments. Test voltages of 250 V,
500 V and 1000 V d.c. are available. A 250 V insulation test voltage is necessary to test low voltage circuits supplied by
an isolating transformer. 500 V d.c. is the most commonly required voltage, since it is used to test all circuits except low
voltage circuits with a nominal voltage up to and including 500 V. The 1000 V d.c. test voltage is used on circuits with a
nominal voltage greater than 500 V and less than 1000 V.
- The continuity ranges can be used to test the continuity of protective and ring final circuit conductors, and the polarity of
the conductors.
- The BM400/2 series instruments can also be used for insulation and continuity tests on transformers, motors, generators,
domestic appliances, power tools, such as electric drills, and many other pieces of electrical equipment.
- On high energy systems it is essential to use test leads with fused prods when measuring voltage. These are available as
an optional accessory.

| Default Voltmeter |
| The default voltmeter operates when an external voltage >25 V
a.c. or d.c. is detected on any range except OFF and . If
this voltage exceeds 55 V then insulation testing will be inhibited.
When this occurs, all instruments, except the BM402/2 and
BM404/2, will revert to the voltage range display. Reverse polarity
d.c. will cause ‘- d.c.’ to appear on the voltage measuring
instruments. The BM402/2 and BM404/2 will beep and flash ‘V’ on the display as a warning. If external volts are present, testing
will be inhibited. |
| Auto Shut off |
| The instrument auto shut-off operates 5 minutes after the start of
a test, on all ranges, except the insulation ranges where it
operates after 12 minutes. This can be adjusted to 60 minutes for
the voltage, continuity and KΩ ranges. Selecting an insulation
range or off will revert the shut-off to 5 minutes. |

SAFETY
The BM400/2 series is protected against connection to a 440 V
phase-to-phase Category III supply. The BM400/2 series will, in
general, meet the requirements of IEC 1010-1 (1990), BS 4743
(1979) and VDE0411 (1973). The BM402/2 and BM404/2, which
do not incorporate a voltage range, though fully protected,
should not be connected to live circuits intentionally.
FUSE PROTECTED TO 440 V.
INSTALLATION CATEGORIES
