PST-100
7
In a reasonably ventilated room of a volume greater than 40m
3
, the exposure to
ozone produced by the high voltage spark should not present a risk to health. In a
‘confined space’ situation it is likely that ozone levels will exceed the exposure limit
and present some risk to health. Under these conditions adequate ventilation must
be provided.
Misuse or failure to comply with the guidelines outlined in this manual may impair
the safety provided by the equipment.
PST-100 Earth Terminal
The PST-100 has been tested and verified by an authorised, independent third
party as meeting the requirements of IEC 61010:2010
- Safety requirements for
electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use.
The construction methods employed throughout comply with double insulation.
The earth terminal located on the handle is a functional earth terminal, NOT a
Protective Conductor Terminal as defined by IEC61010 and is intended as a high
voltage return point during the operation of the PST-100. This arrangement also aids
suppr
ession of possible EMC interference.
Therefore when conducting an electrical safety test (Portable Appliance Test) to
the PST-100 it should be considered a class 2 appliance and tested accordingly.
WARNING:
This equipment must not be used in any combustible
atmosphere; the high voltage discharge will cause a spark from which
an explosion could result.
WARNING:
This equipment must not be exposed to damp or wet conditions, or
where the amount of conductive dust is greater than would occur in a normal
situation
WARNING:
Never connect or disconnect the electrode with the PST-100
connected to the mains supply.
IMPORTANT:
We strongly advise that individuals with pacemakers, cochlear
implants or trans-dermal electronic implants - e.g. glucose monitors do not use
our high-voltage test equipment under any circumstances.
