Safety, Operation, and Procedure Instructions for the PFT Series of

AC Hipots

Danger- Lethal Voltages:

Equipment to be used by trained personnel only

This Operator Manual contains instructions for the operation of a High Voltage power source. The operator of this equipment

must use good judgement and follow all safety precautions noted in this guide to ensure the protection of himself and others in
close proximity to the test area.

Failure to follow the instructions could result in injury or

death. Proper grounding of the test set must be done prior to connecting this unit
to a power source.
