WARNING - Dangers when working with HV
Special attention and safety awareness is needed when operating HV equipment
and especially non-stationary equipment. The regulations VDE 0104 about setting
up and operation of electric test equipment, i.e. the corresponding EN 50191 as
well as country-specific regulations and standards must be observed.

The system generates a dangerous voltage of up to 16 kV during operation. This
is supplied via a HV cable to the test object.

The system may not be operated without supervision.

Safety installations may not be by-passed nor deactivated.

All metallic parts in close proximity of the test equipment must be grounded in
order to avoid the build-up of hazardous electric surface charges .
