General Safety Information
DANGER
Depending on the type, the test system can supply high potentials with high
efficiency. The safety measures demanded in VDE 0104 (En 50 191) are to observe.
The proper status of the main cable and the test object connection cables is to
observe via visual every day before starting the testing work.
Damaged parts must be replaced or put out of operation.
