Safety Warnings  

Page viii 

September 2004 

On the test set, the symbol with a "lightning flash arrow" 
alerts you to the presence of an uninsulated voltage with 
enough magnitude to produce an electric shock.  

Whenever there is current in the load, a flashing warning 
logo will appear, along with a warning message and an 
audible warning tone.  

High Voltage Safety Precautions 

The DWR-10 test set and any transformer to which it is 
connected are possible sources of high-voltage electrical 
energy.  

Anyone using the test set must take all practical safety 
precautions to prevent contact with energized parts of the 
equipment and related circuits.  

• 

Never connect the test set to energized equipment. 

• 

Do not use the test set in an explosive atmosphere. 

• 

Stand clear of all parts of the high-voltage circuit, 
including all connections, unless the test set is de-
energized and all parts of the test circuit are 
grounded.  

• 

Keep other people away from test activities with 
suitable barricades or warnings. 

• 

Treat all terminals of high-voltage power equipment 
as potential electric shock hazards. Voltages may be 
induced at these terminals because of proximity to 
energized high-voltage lines or equipment.  

• 

Always disconnect test leads from the power 
equipment before disconnecting them at the test set. 
The ground connection must be the first made and the 
last removed.
