PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
1.
Meter assembly, interconnect cable assembly, and live line tool adapters
shall be considered non-insulating. Do not let live line tool fittings come
in contact with energized or grounded conductors. The live line tool
adapters, fittings, and handles supplied with meters shall not be used
on any other devices.
2.
Use appropriate length live line tools for voltage being worked and
maintain minimum approach distances as outlined in OSHA 1910.269,
Table R-6.
3.
All Phasing Meters and Voltage Detectors manufactured during and after
2007 will have a limit mark engraved on the high voltage probe(s) 2.5
inches from the tip to indicate to the user the physical limit that should
not be exceeded when approaching and contacting an electrical
conductor or other electrical test points. Zero Ohm insulated adapters
(81280IE) should be used if limit mark will be exceeded.
4.
This equipment should be used only by qualified employees, trained in
and familiar with the safety-related work practices, safety rules and
other safety requirements associated with the use of this type of
equipment.
5.
These instructions are not intended as a substitute for adequate training,
nor do they cover all details or situations which could be encountered
when operating this type of equipment.
6.
Before operating this equipment, read, understand and follow all

INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE BEFORE USE
WARNING
1.
Prior to using any high voltage test equipment a careful inspection
should be made to ensure the unit is free from any contaminants such
as dirt, grease, etc. and that there are no apparent physical damages.
2.
High voltage probe assemblies shall be wiped clean prior to each use
with a silicone impregnated cloth and kept clean and free of
contaminants. This will prevent tracking on the outside of the probe and
meter error.
3.
Always confirm internal battery voltage before and after each use.
4.
Unit shall be tested before and after each use on a known voltage source.
Failure to do so could result in false negative indications
