MAINTENANCE AND CALIBRATION
This Chapter describes maintenance and calibration. Perform regular maintenance, inspection and
calibration to maintain optimum performance for a long time.
6.1 Cleaning the Outer Surfaces
•
Be sure to turn OFF (
○
) the power of the Tester before start cleaning it.
•
Do not use volatile solvents such as thinner and benzine. They may discolor the
unit surface coating, erase printing characters.
When the panel of the Tester has become dirty, clean them by wiping them with a soft cloth moist-
ened with neutral soapsuds.
6.2 Inspection
Checking the AC Power Cord
Check the AC power cord for broken sheath and for loose or cracked plug.
Checking the High Voltage Test Leadwires
Visually inspect the leadwires and be sure that they have no indications of broken sheaths or
other signs of damage.
Electrically check that the leadwires are not open-circuited (by using a circuit tester or other
instrument).
•
If the test leadwire is damaged (its sheath is damaged or its core wire is open-cir-
cuit), it can be a cause of electric shock hazards. Never use imperfect test lead-
wires.
To purchase accessories, contact your Kikusui agent/distributor.
6.3 Maintenance
■
High Voltage Relay
The high voltage relay of the internal discharge circuit is a wearable component.
In this regard, it is recommended to order your Kikusui agent/distributor to overhaul the Tester at
every approximately 200,000 repetitions of tests (although the service intervals may differ depend-
ing on the conditions of use).
•
The Tester generates a hazardously high voltage of 5 kV. Never attempt to overhaul
the Tester for yourself. For such service, contact your Kikusui agent/distributor.
6.4 Calibration
The Tester was properly calibrated at shipment. However, the Tester should be calibrated after long-
term usage.
•
The Tester generates a hazardously high voltage of 5 kV. Never attempt to calibrate
the Tester for yourself. For such service, contact your Kikusui agent/distributor.
