Safety has been an important design feature of the MIT200. Should one of the instruments be inadvertently connected to a live circuit, a warning is immediately sounded, even if the instrument’s internal fuse has failed. The voltage is then displayed and testing is inhibited. Automatic warning of fuse failure is also provided, saving time-consuming manual fuse checking.

The instruments are easy to use. Backlit LCDs include a large analogue-style arc that provides a rapid indication of results, together with a digital readout to present precise data for inclusion in test reports and certificates. After a test, results are displayed until the next test is initiated, eliminating the need for a hold button. Knobs and buttons are also colour coded for convenience.

Instruments in the new range are currently available in two versions. The MIT220 offers insulation testing at 250V and 500V, while the MIT230 allows testing at 250V, 500V and 1000V. Both models feature 1000megohm insulation testing at all supported voltages, 200mA continuity test current and a fast continuity buzzer with a 5ohm threshold. Continuity tests are fully automatic, freeing both hands and removing the need to press the TEST button, but still features live circuit detection.

MIT200 testers are supplied with test leads that feature right-angled connectors to prevent tangling and reduce stress in the cable. MIT230 testers and accessories are supplied in a rigid carry case. They are also supplied with free calibration certificates.
