1.1 PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
These safety warnings are provided to ensure the safety of personnel and
proper operation of the instrument.
Read this instruction manual completely and follow all the safety
information before attempting to use or service this instrument.
Safety is the responsibility of the operator!
Tests are to be carried out only on dead circuits! Check for live circuits
before making resistance measurements (safety check).

to
the circuit under test.
These megohmmeters are sources of high voltage, as is the sample
connected to them. All persons performing or assisting in the tests must
follow all safety precautions to prevent electrical shock to themselves
and to others.
AEMC considers the use of rubber gloves to be an excellent safety
practice even if the equipment is properly operated and correctly
grounded.
When testing capacitance samples, make sure that they have been
properly discharged and that they are safe to touch. Dielectric insulation
samples should be short-circuited for at least five times the amount of
time they were energized.
Never open the back of the instrument while connected to any circuit or
input.
