Frequently Asked Questions - Bite5 Megger

Can I use the Megger Bite5 to charge 6V batteries?
No, the Bite5 is designed for 12V and 24V battery systems only. Using it on 6V batteries may cause damage.
How do I know if the battery is fully charged?
The LCD display will show a 'FULL' indication and the current will drop to near zero. The charger may also switch to maintenance mode automatically.
What happens if I connect the clamps in reverse?
The Bite5 has reverse polarity protection. It will not start charging and may show an error code on the display. Correct the connection to proceed.
Can I leave the charger connected indefinitely?
Yes, once the battery is full, the Bite5 enters maintenance mode which provides a safe float charge to keep the battery topped up without overcharging.
Is the Bite5 suitable for lithium-ion batteries?
Yes, it supports lithium-ion batteries. Ensure you select the appropriate battery type on the charger before starting.
What is the maximum battery capacity it can charge?
The Bite5 can handle batteries up to 100 Ah. For larger batteries, the charging time will be longer but still safe.
Can I charge a frozen battery?
No, do not charge a frozen battery. Allow it to warm up to at least 0°C (32°F) before charging to avoid damage or explosion.
How often should I replace the fuse?
Replace the fuse only if it has blown due to a short circuit or overload. Use the same rating as specified in the manual (5A typically).
Can I use the charger in a car or boat?
The Bite5 is designed for indoor use with AC input. For mobile use, you need an inverter or a DC-compatible charger. Avoid exposure to water and moisture.
What does the error code 'E02' mean?
Error code 'E02' indicates over-temperature protection. The charger has exceeded safe operating temperature. Move it to a cooler area and let it cool down before restarting.

Performing an impedance test on a parallel battery string.

10. Performing an impedance test on a parallel battery string.

When performing a ohmic test on a parallel string some of the test current escapes through the parallel path. This leads to inaccuracies in the measurement. In this mode the BITE5 will take impedance measurements, while recording the escape current, through the parallel path. This will provide accurate measurements avoiding the need to segment the string. The recorded values will be saved to the selected string configuration.

Select the "Setting" ICON. Select the "Setting" ICON. Set the CT Source to "Parallel" Set the High Current to 700mA. Plug the AC CT into the BITE5 ADVANCED

Place the AC Current clamps on the parallel path.

Select the Ohm (Ω) ICON.

When the Ohm (Ω) ICON is selected it configures the unit to record ohmic values, voltage, and temperature.

When the Ohm (Ω) ICON is selected the BITE5 Advanced will use the Duplex inputs.

24. Saving a screen snapshot

The BITE5 ADVANCED allows you to save screen images as bitmaps. To do this, momentarily press and release the Power ON/OFF button. ![](images/33d3e9e641a2607a89d172eeb6175a144987846bf3f37013aa9f2ac85e651d00.jpg) The displayed screen shall be saved to the SD card as a bitmap file. The bitmap will be located at the following path. MEGGER / SCREENS Noisy Strings.

25. Noisy Strings.

Excessive electrical noise on strings can cause interference to the battery ohmic measurements. This is can be typical on UPS systems. Noise can cause extended measurement times due to elongated settling times. In extreme cases high signal to noise ratios may not allow a measurement. To address this situation a noise avoidance feature can be enabled on the BITE5 ADVANCED. ![](images/e0831fabb7a67cfc8d92642a5b1d87636915b4678f799fb03ced078d3c8ba4b6.jpg)

28. Maintenance

Do not leave the instrument connected to the system under test when not in use. Do not use the instrument or connect it to any external system if it shows any visible signs of damage, malfunction, or if it has been stored in unfavorable conditions. If this equipment is used in the manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

28.1 Battery charging

The BITE5 ADVANCED uses rechargeable Li-ion batteries. Only recharge batteries using the supplied power adapter. Battery charging starts once the power adapter is connected and plugged into AC. The battery charge will take approx. 4 hours to complete. If the unit is operated off of the AC adapter, then the charging time will be longer. The BITE5 ADVANCED can be left connected to the charging adapter for extended periods. The batteries will not be damaged even after full charge.

28.1.1 Battery charging status icon

28.2 Cleaning and Storage

Do not leave the instrument connected to the system under test when storing or cleaning.

28.2.1 Unit Cleaning

Clean with wet cloth and soft soap. Do not use organic solvents or alcohol as markings on the unit may be damaged.

28.2.2 Storage

When storing for long periods of time, there is no need to remove the battery pack. However, all batteries experience self-discharge. This will lead to a gradually draining of the batteries. For best battery life, it is recommended that batteries are charged once a month. Batteries need to be charged a minimum of once every 6 months.

28.2.3 Cleaning probes

Clean with wet cloth and soft soap. Do not use organic solvents or alcohol.

If the protection of an instrument has been impaired it should not be used, but sent for repair by suitably trained and qualified personnel. The protection is likely to be impaired if, for example, the instrument shows visible damage, fails to perform the intended measurements, has been subjected to prolonged storage under unfavourable conditions, or has been exposed to severe transport stresses. New instruments are covered by a two year warranty from the date of purchase by the User, the second year being conditional on the free registration of the product on www.megger.com. You will need to log in, or first register and then login to register your product. The second year warranty covers faults, but not recalibration of the instrument which is only warranted for one year. Any unauthorised prior repair or adjustment will automatically invalidate the warranty. These products contain no User repairable parts and if defective should be returned to your supplier in original packaging or packed so that it is protected from damage during transit. Damage in transit is not covered by this warranty and replacement / repair is chargeable. Megger warrants this instrument to be free from defects in materials and workmanship, where the equipment is used for its proper purpose. The warranty is limited to making good this instrument (which shall be returned intact, carriage paid, and on examination shall disclose to their satisfaction to have been defective as claimed). Any unauthorised prior repair or adjustment will invalidate the warranty. Misuse of the instrument, from connection to excessive voltages, fitting incorrect fuses, or by other misuse is excluded from the warranty. The instrument calibration is warranted for one year. This Warranty does not affect your statutory rights under any applicable law in force, or your contractual rights arising from a sale and purchase contract for the product. You may assert your rights at your sole discretion.

The following information is to be provided to enable the Service Department to prepare in advance for receipt of your instrument and to provide the best possible service to you: ■ Model (for example, BITE5). - Serial number (found on the display under settings, device information, or on the rear cover and by the batteries or on the calibration certificate). - Reason for return (for example, calibration required, or repair). ■ Details of the fault if the instrument is to be repaired. 2. Make a note of the RA number. A returns label can be emailed or faxed to you if required. 3. Pack the instrument carefully to prevent damage in transit. 4.
