SAFETY RULES :
This tester has been designed with your safety in mind. However,
no design can completely protect against incorrect use. Electrical
circuits can be dangerous and/or lethal when lack of caution or
poor safety practices are used.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK
Do not carry out field measurements on either the power system
grounding, during periods of forecast lightning activity, in areas
that encompass the station being measured or of the power
network connected to the station being measured. In the event
that lightning occurs, stop all testing and isolate any temporarily
installed test spikes.
Preparations for testing of power system grounding can leave
personnel vulnerable to exposure caused by faults at or fed from
the system under test, transferred potentials from remote test
grounds, and inadvertent line energisations.
While the probability of the occurrence of one of these events is
low personnel safety will, nevertheless, be enhanced by the
following :
When working near high tension systems rubber gloves and shoes
should be worn.
Work on clean, dry crushed rock or an insulating blanket.
Avoid bare hand to hand contact between the tester and extended
test leads.
When using the tester with test leads, ensure that they are safe
and properly authorized.
Disconnect the tester from any external circuit when changing the
batteries.
CAUTION
READ THE MANUAL
Follow the instructions in the Manual for every measurement.
Read and understand the general instructions before attempting to
use this tester.
SAFETY CHECK :
Before using the tester check the condition of the batteries. This is
done by switching the tester ON.
If the BAT OK led does not light up, the battery need replacing.
Battery and fuse replacement are described later in this user’s
manual.
When changing the battery, fuses, or removing the cover to access
the internal circuitry, always disconnect the test leads.
When replacing the fuse use only the type specified, 5 20 mm,
200mA, 250V fuse, and insert correctly into the fuse holder.
´
Double check the switch setting, and lead connections before
making measurements.
DON’T TOUCH :
Don’t touch exposed wiring, connections or other “Live” parts of an
electrical circuit. If in doubt, check the circuit first for voltage before
touching it.
Do not use cracked of broken test leads.
THE INSTRUMENT SHOULD ONLY BE USED BY
A COMPETENT, SUITABLY TRAINED PERSON.
