1 SAFETY
10. Power sources
▪
Only connect INGVAR to an outlet protected with
max 16 A overcurrent protection.
▪
Make certain that mains outlet and its fuses and all
cables/wiring have sufficient current-carrying capacity,
i.e. suitable ratings.
▪
Use an easily accessible power outlet. This will ensure
that you can disconnect the power quickly in case of
a problem.
▪
Never connect INGVAR to a mains voltage other than
that specified on the data plates (nameplate) on the
Control Unit and the Current Unit.
▪
The plug to the mains inlet is not to be used as
disconnecting device.
▪
The mains connector or the mains switch are to be
used as disconnecting device.
11. Inputs and outputs
▪
Do not apply voltage to the outputs.
▪
Do not connect the “AMMETER 2” and VOLTMETER
inputs at the same time.
▪
The voltages and currents that are generated by
INGVAR can cause serious injury.
▪
Dangerous voltages can develop at exposed
connectors if the equipment malfunctions.
▪
The current output terminals and connecting points
can be hot after generation of high current.
12. Ventilation
▪
Slots and openings in the instrument are provided for
ventilation. They ensure reliable operations, keeping
it from overheating. These openings must not be
blocked nor covered during operation.
13. Lightning
▪
For added protection for INGVAR during a lightning
storm unplug it from the AC outlet and from all
cables connected to the inputs. This will prevent
damage to the INGVAR due to lightning and power
supply surges.
▪
Never touch the plug and power cord if it begins to
thunder. Touching them may result in electric shock
14. Cleaning
▪
Unplug INGVAR before cleaning
▪
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

dampened with a mild detergent solution.
15. Damage
▪
Do not use INGVAR if the test leads appear damaged.
▪
Do not continue using a damaged INGVAR. Using a
damaged INGVAR may result in fire or electric shock.
▪
Do not touch a damaged LCD panel directly with
bare hands. The liquid crystal, which leaks from the

any part of the skin or body comes in direct contact
with the panel, please wash thoroughly. If some
physical symptoms result, please consult your doctor.
