Introduction 

 

This section of the manual contains maintenance information for the MegaPulse Capacitor series 
A PF impulse tester. A 1-year calibration cycle is recommended to maintain the specifications of 
the factory.  The test equipment required for the performance test is a digital oscilloscope, high 
voltage oscilloscope probe, digital meter and a high voltage probe. 

 

Service Information 

 

The MegaPulse tester is warranted to the original purchaser for a period of 1 year.  This warranty 
does not cover problems due to misuse or neglect.  Malfunctions which occur within the limits of 
the warranty will be corrected at no charge.  Mail the instrument post paid to the manufacturer.  
Dated  proof  of  purchase  is  required  for  all  in-warranty  repairs.    The  manufacturer  is  also 
available  for  calibration  and  /  or  repair  of  instruments  that  are  beyond  their  warranty  period.  
Contact  the  manufacturer  for  a  cost  quotation.    Ship  the  instrument  and  your  remittance 
according to the instructions given by the manufacturer.

 

 

General Maintenance 

 

 

To  avoid  contaminating  the  PWB  with  oil  from  your  fingers,  handle  it  by  the  edges  or  wear 
gloves.    If  the  PWB  becomes  contaminated,  refer  to  the  cleaning procedures given later in this 
section

.

 

 

WARNING 

Dangerous  voltages  exist  when  energized.    Exercise  extreme  care  when  working  on  an 
energized circuit.

 

 

Cleaning 

 

Clean the front panel and case with a mild solution of detergent and a damp sponge. Clean dust 
from the PWB with clean, dry, low pressure (<20 psi) 

 

CAUTION 

Do not use aromatic hydrocarbons or chlorinated solvents for cleaning.  These solutions 

will react with the plastic materials used in the instrument.
