Have you checked that there are no ongoing processes in the area (eg 

below the roof you’re working on) that may be dangerous – X-ray 

machines, other radiation? 

 

Are you certain that the instrument has not been immersed, dropped or 

otherwise damaged in a way that is not obvious?  

 

Have you verified that the ground connection is actually grounded?   

 

Is the person responsible for site safety aware of / fully understanding the 

testing you are going to do, and has it been reviewed in line with the site 

procedures? 

 
 

Maintenance 

The PST-100 has been designed to be maintenance free, however the PST-100 

should be inspected regularly, checking for damage to the unit. If any damage is 

found, the PST-100 must not be used, and should be returned to the manufacturer 

for repair. 
Two 500mA anti-surge fuses are located on the rear panel. These may be replaced 

by the user. Disconnect the PST-100 from the mains supply before attempting to 

replace fuses.
