This section describes how to set up and operate your tester. We recommend that you read the entire
section carefully so that you can use all of the features of your Tester.
Setting up your tester
Your tester is shipped in a special protective container that should prevent damage to the instrument
during shipping. Check the shipping order against the contents of the container and report any damage or
short shipment to Compliance West USA. The container should include the following:

This Instruction Manual
If reshipment of the instrument is necessary, please use the original shipping container. If the original
shipping container is not available, be sure that adequate protection is provided to prevent damage during
shipment. We recommend that the instrument be surrounded by at least one inch of shock-absorbing
material on all sides of the container.
Remove the Tester from its container and place it on a test bench.
AC Line Voltage Requirements
AC line voltage requirements for your Tester are noted on the rear panel of the instrument. Do not
connect the instrument to a different voltage source.

the rear panel. Do not attempt to replace it with a fuse of any other rating.
