HIGH-VOLTAGE PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: This instrument provides output voltages as high as 1500 or 2000 Volts
under normal operating conditions, so extreme caution must be employed when using
this instrument. The instrument should only be used by individuals who are thoroughly
skilled in high voltage laboratory techniques. The following precautions should always
be observed:
1. Keep exposed high-voltage wiring to an absolute minimum.
2. Wherever possible, use shielded connectors and cabling.
3. Connect and disconnect loads and cables only when the instrument is turned off.
4. Keep in mind that all cables, connectors, oscilloscope probes, and loads must
have an appropriate voltage rating.
Do not attempt any repairs on the instrument, beyond the fuse replacement procedures
described in this manual. Contact Avtech technical support (see page 2 for contact
information) if the instrument requires servicing.
