Preparation for Use
When unpacked, the tester should be inspected for any
visible signs of damage, and the preliminary checks
described in the user manual should be performed to ensure
that it is operating correctly. If there is any sign of damage,
or if the instrument does not operate correctly, return it to
your nearest supplier.
This instrument is powered by three “C” type batteries.
Checking And Proofing The Tester
Switch the sensitivity to “SELF-TEST”. The buzzer of the
275HP Hi-Prox should beep and the LEDs should light.
This indicates that the 275HP Hi-Prox is operational.
Verify the working of this unit by selecting 240Vac and place
the dome against a low voltage live conductor or rub the
dome with a cloth or against an item of clothing as this
generates a static DC which triggers the detection of circuit.
The light and beeper should go “on” as if a live wire is being
approached.
Approaching the dome near a
computer screen or a TV screen
(not liquid crystal display type)
should also trigger the tester
while on the 240V selection.
