Safety
This item of equipment, together with its accessories,
works at high voltages of up to 30kV. Any careless
handling or non-observance of the operating
instructions can have dangerous consequences.
The NSG 438 generator is not a toy! It is a professional tool and belongs
only in the hands of specialists and appropriately trained personnel.
When powered by its own batteries the generator can be active even
without any power cable being connected.
The instrument must not be switched on unless a correctly connected
earth or earth cable (pulse current return path) is in place. The original
earth cable supplied with the instrument is to be used. Any replacement
cables must be fabricated in such a way that they cannot be accidentally
connected to a mains outlet socket. Do not touch the test finger! There is a
danger of an unpleasant electric shock if the instrument is switched on
(LC-display active).
Only trained personnel may operate the instrument.
Personnel fitted with a heart-pacemaker
must not operate
the instrument nor approach the test rig while it is in
operation.
These operating instructions form an integral part of the instrument and
must be available to the operating personnel at all times.
The instrument must not be used for any purpose other than testing the
ESD immunity of electronic equipment.
The construction of the generator is not designed for use in an explosive
environment.
