Operator Qualifications and Primary Responsibilities
• Testing with CPC 100 should only be carried out by authorized and qualified
personnel. Clearly establish the responsibilities!
• Personnel receiving training, instruction, direction, or education on CPC 100
should remain under the constant supervision of an experienced operator
while working with the equipment.
Safe Operation
When setting CPC 100 into operation, follow the instructions in ”Putting
CPC 100 into Operation” on page 2-46.
If you have a cardiac pacemaker, do not use CPC 100 ! Before operating
CPC 100 , make sure there is no person with a cardiac pacemaker in the
immediate vicinity.
Never use CPC 100 without a solid connection to ground with at least 6mm².
Use a ground point as close as possible to the test object.
Power Supply
• Supply CPC 100 only from a power outlet that has protective earth (PE).
• An error message (313) appears if either the PE connection is defective or
the power supply has no galvanic connection to ground. In this case, make
sure that the PE connection is intact. If the PE connection is intact and the
error message still appears, select the "Disable ground check" check box at
the
Device Setup tab in the Options view (see ”Device Setup” on page
2-33).
• Ground the isolating transformer outputs on the N (neutral) output or select
the "Disable ground check" check box as described above.
• Instead of supplying CPC 100 from phase - neutral (L1-N, A-N), it may also
be supplied from phase - phase (for example, L1-L2; A-B). However, the
voltage must not exceed 240V AC.
• Fuse-protect the power supply (16 A automatic circuit-breaker).
• Do not use an extension cable on a cable reel to prevent an overheating of
the cord; run out the extension cord.
• Keep extension cables as short as possible to prevent power loss.
DANGER!
