Section 3
Operation
This section describes how to set up and make measurements with 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:
The MegaPulse 1.2x50-16PF PV Tester
Two large alligator clips with insulating boots (one red, one black)
An 18 AWG Line Power Cord
This Instruction Manual
Calibration certificate with waveform calibration pictures
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
three inches of shock-absorbing material on all sides of the container.
Remove the tester from its container and place it on a test bench.
CAUTION: The MegaPulse tester
is very heavy. Two-person lift is required.
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 cord packaged with your
MegaPulse Tester is for use in the United States. If another power cord must be used, the cord
must be rated for the maximum current noted on the rear panel. It must also meet the
requirements of IEC 227 or IEC 245, and mains cords that are certified or approved by any
recognized national test house are regarded as meeting this requirement.
