Other Important Safety warnings
Failure to follow these precautions could result in severe electrical shock or death.
1)
Never
attempt a two-party operation. Always know what test is being performed and
when.
FOR EXAMPLE: DO NOT adjust test leads when footswitch is being operated.
Leads will have live voltage and severe electric shock may result.
2)
For capacitor-started motors or systems with surge arrestors/power factor capacitors, be
sure to
disconnect
all capacitors from the test circuit
before
testing.
3)
Upon completion of a DC High Potential, Megohm, Polarization Index, Dielectric
absorption, before disconnecting the test leads, short the winding, motor, etc., to ground
and allow time for discharge. If this is not done, voltage may still be active on leads and
tested components.
4)
Make sure
the tester leads are disconnected before the motor is energized or powered
up.
5)
Do not
remove the product covers or panels or operate the tester without the covers
and panels properly installed. Components on inside of tester carry voltage for operation
and if touched can render a shock.
6)
Use appropriate safety equipment required by your organization, including high voltage
globes and eye protection.
7)
Repair Parts Warning
: Defective, damaged, or broken test leads must be replaced
with factory-authorized parts to ensure safe operation and maintain performance
specifications.
8)
Ground the product :
This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of the
power cord. To avoid electrical shock, plug the power cord into a properly
wired/grounded receptacle before connecting the product test leads.
Danger
High Voltage
To prevent serious injury or death:
-
Do not use in explosive atmospheres.
-
Do not contact test leads or device being testing
while test is in progress or during discharge period.
-
Do not connect test leads to live circuits.
Read and follow safety precautions and safe operating
practices in operator manual. Do not exceed maximum
operating capabilities of this instrument.
