SECTION 5: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1) DIVIDER WITH METER MODULE OPERATION:
Make sure connections have been made as described in “Set-Up” section.
Switch control power switch to
ON
position.
Select the desired range for the voltmeter based on the expected input signal level.
Select desired mode for voltmeter with function switch.
Note: If the Ripple voltage measurement mode is to be selected, the Range selector must
be set for the required input voltage level. If ripple voltage is to be read on input
voltage over 30kV the range selector has to be on high range, regardless of the
expected ripple voltage level. To avoid damage to the unit ascertain the unit will
not over-range on the AVG or the DC modes before attempting to read the ripple
voltages. DO NOT attempt to read ripple voltage on a range lower than required to
measure the full input voltage.
Activate high voltage source.
Measure voltage as required. Meter low range should not be used past 30kV. Meter may
not be accurate past 100% of reading and actual voltage may be much higher than
indicated.
De-activate high voltage source and assure, as appropriate, that high voltage source is de-
energized and discharged.
When testing is complete, switch control power to
OFF
position.
After assuring that high voltage source and unit are de-energized and discharged, all leads
and connections may be disconnected and unit packaged for transport or storage.
Do not subject unit to Flashovers. Damage may occur. If meter becomes disabled from
Flashover or Transient condition, refer to Troubleshooting section.
Battery operational time will be extended if Backlight is kept at minimum setting.
Low battery lamp comes on at approximately 20% of charge. If unit is run too long after low
battery lamp comes on, it will shut down and must be recharged before it will turn on again.
WARNING
THIS UNIT SHOULD ONLY BE OPERATED BY PERSONS KNOWLEDGEABLE OF HIGH
VOLTAGE TESTING AND SAFETY PROCEDURES. IMPROPER OPERATION
MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH.
