*
Check test leads and probes for faulty insulation or bare wires
before connection to the equipment.
*
Always inspect you analogue insulations tester and test leads
before use for any sign of abnormality or damage. If any
abnormal conditions exist (broken test leads, cracked case,
display faulty etc. …) do not attempt to take any measurement
or use the tester. Return your analogue insulation tester to your
nearest distributor for service.
*
Never replace the protective fuse with any other than the
specified or approved equivalent.
*
Your analogue insulation tester has been designed with your
safety in mind. However, no design can completely protect
against incorrect use. Electrical circuits can be dangerous and /
or lethal when a lack of caution or poor safety practice is used.
Use caution in the presence of voltage above 24V as these
pose a chock hazard.
*
Pay attention to cautions and warnings which will inform you of
potentially dangerous procedures.
*
Your analogue isolation tester has a live circuit warning beeper.
If it is connected to an AC live circuit, a beep of twice the
frequency of the voltage present will be heard.
*
DOT NOT proceed to test and immediately disconnect the
instrument from the circuit. In addition, the warning light will lit if
the voltage is above 100V DC or 70VAC. When AC voltage is
present, before testing, it’s value is displayed on the AC scale.
*
Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings (danger
of serious injury and/or destruction of the equipment).
*
Replace a defective fuse only with a fuse of the original rating.
Never short-circuit fuse or fuse holding.
*
Disconnect test leads or probe from the measuring circuit before
switching modes or functions.
*
To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test
and discharge all capacitors before taking any resistance
measurements.
