MI 3205 TeraOhm XA 5kV
Safety and operational considerations
7
Warnings related to measurement functions:
Working with the instrument
Use only standard or optional test accessories supplied by your distributor!
Equipment under test must be switched off (i.e. de-energized) before test leads
are connected to the equipment.
Always connect accessories to the instrument and to the test object before
starting high voltage measurement. Do not touch test leads or crocodile clips
during measurement. Only hand-held part of high voltage test lead with tip is
allowed to be touched (held) during measurement.
Do not touch any conductive parts of equipment under test during the test, risk of
electric shock!
Make sure that the tested object is disconnected (mains voltage disconnected)
before starting the Insulation Resistance measurement!
In case of a capacitive test object (long tested cable etc.), automatic discharge of
the object may not be done immediately after finishing the measurement –
“Please wait, discharging” message will be displayed.
Do not connect test terminals to an external voltage to prevent any damage to the
test instrument!
Handling with capacitive loads
Note that 40 nF charged to 1 kV or 8 nF charged to 5 kV are hazardous live!
Never touch the measured object during the testing until it is totally discharged.
Warnings related to Batteries:
Use only batteries provided by the manufacturer.
Never dispose of the batteries in a fire as it may cause them to explode or
generate a toxic gas.
Do not attempt to disassemble, crush or puncture the batteries.
Do not short circuit or reverse polarity the external contacts on a battery.
Keep the battery away from children.
Avoid exposing the battery to excessive shock/impacts or vibration.
Do not use a damaged battery.
The Li – ion battery contains safety and protection circuit which, if
damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture or ignite.
Do not leave a battery on prolonged charge when not in use.
If a battery has leaking fluids, do not touch any fluids.
In case of eye contact with fluid, do not rub eyes. Immediately flush eyes
thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids,
until no evidence of the fluid remains. Seek medical attention.
