Tester, as well as to ensure that the
test equipment remains undamaged, it is necessary to consider the following warnings:
MEANING OF SYMBOLS
♦
!
symbol on the instrument means “Read the User Manual with special care!”
♦
symbol on the instrument means “Hazardous voltage higher than 1000 V
may be present at the test terminals!”!
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
♦
If the test equipment is used in a manner not specified in this Users Manual,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired!
♦
Do not use the instrument and accessories, if any damage is noticed!

♦
Make sure that the tested object is disconnected (mains voltage disconnected)
before starting the Insulation Resistance measurement!
•
Do not touch
the tested object whilst testing it, risk of electric shock!
