Hi all.

I have a load of UPS and battery charger system batteries to test at a customer's site (44 systems) and was sent a Megger BITE 3. But it seems to have a fault - the display reads "out of Range" when I perform the cell and strap tests. The only reading is the cell voltage. The manual has a specific test for out of range impedance values and suggests the 1A fuse is blown - but mine is OK. (Unless it's the holder?).
Before I condemn the equipment I have gone through the few settings and although not found anything I think is wrong, maybe there is, or the way I'm using the probes?

Has anyone had this problem and can share the fix?

Thanks
