1 Important Information

Care must be taken where work is performed in tight corners, where the
proximity of other earth planes will affect the reading. If possible
maintain a distance of more than 30cm from metal work which runs
perpendicular to the sensor faceplate.

Strong electromagnetic fields from mobile phones, RF transmitters,
VDUs and un-screened electronics in the frequency range DC to 1GHz
can have an effect on the readings. A measure of local fields can be
obtained by holding the UltraTEV Monitor in free-air at least 1 metre
away from any conducting surface.
 The UltraTEV Monitor must be used in accordance with local safety rules
and procedures.

The UltraTEV Monitor is designed for use at ground potential only.

The UltraTEV Monitor ™ is designed and tested for indoor use only.

When testing electrical plant ensure that the metalwork is earthed before
applying the Nodes/Probes.
 Maintain safety distances between structures at high voltage and the
UltraTEV Monitor and its operator at all times.

Do not operate the UltraTEV Monitor or its accessories in an explosive
atmosphere.
 The UltraTEV Monitor contains no user serviceable parts, always return
to EA Technology or your local distributor for service and repair.
 Do not hard wire the unit to the mains supply without providing a means
of emergency disconnection
 In the event that the supplied wall plug is changed, EA Technology
assumes no legal responsibility for the safety of the instrument or persons
using the instrument.

EA Technology RFCTs are designed to be installed by suitably competent
operators on cable earth/ground straps which are suitably and efficiently
connected to earth/ground to maintain safety.

RFCTs, connecting leads and test equipment do not provide protection
against high voltage.

Operators must ensure that the cable earth/ground conductor is capable
of carrying the prospective earth/ground fault current for the time
required for protective devices to operate and without giving rise to
dangerous voltages or creating danger. The integrity of earth/ground
conductors and connections should be confirmed by the operator prior to
installation of the RFCT.
