SECTION 5:  OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

 
 

 
 

1.   DIVIDER WITH METER MODULE OPERATION

 

 

Make sure connections have been made as described in 

“Set-Up” section. 

 

 

Press and hold power button to turn metering module on. 

 

 

Select the desired range for voltmeter based on the expected input signal level. 
 

 

Select desired mode for voltmeter with function buttons. 

 

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 
20kV, the range selector has to be on high range, regardless of the expected ripple voltage 
level.  To avoid damage to the unit, ascertain that 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. 
 

 

De-activate high voltage source and assure, as appropriate, high voltage source is de-energized 
and discharged.   
 

 

Press and hold power button to turn metering module off. 
 

 

After ensuring high voltage source and divider are de-energized and discharged, all leads and 
connections may be disconnected and unit.   

 

 

Do not subject unit to Flashovers.  Damage may occur.  If meter becomes disabled from Flashover 
or Transient condition, refer to Troubleshooting section.  

 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 

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.
