balance enables better control of the equipment in unexpected situations.
Care should always be taken when using Testifire at height. Pay particular attention to avoid
contact with overhead items such as light fittings, overhead power cables/busbars and any
other objects that could be accidentally dislodged which might cause danger to the operator
or anyone else in the vicinity.
After you have completed the preparation procedures, Testifire will be ready for use.
To carry out a simple, single stimulus test, use the ‘UP’ and ‘DOWN’ keys on
the keypad (as described in section 4.4 of this manual) to highlight the stimulus
required (Fig. 25). Although you can select the required stimulus by pressing the
‘ENTER’ key , all that is required for a single stimulus test is to highlight the
required stimulus (complex sequences of single-stimulus tests, or a simultaneous
multi-stimulus test are covered in Sections 5.8, 5.9 and 5.10).
