• Never attempt to test a winding with both host and power pack leads attached to the
winding at the same time. Damage to the tester will occur.
General
• Do not remove the product covers or panels or operate the tester without the covers
and panels properly installed. Components on the inside of the tester carry voltage
for operation and can render a shock if touched.
• Use appropriate safety equipment required by your organization, including high-
voltage gloves and eye protection.
• The devices covered in this manual are not waterproof or sealed against water entry.
• The devices covered in this manual are intended for indoor use. If using outdoors,
you must protect the device(s) from rain, snow, and other contaminants.
• Repair parts warning: You must replace defective, damaged or broken test leads
with factory-authorized parts to ensure safe operation and maintain performance
specifications.
• Ground the product: The devices covered in this manual are grounded through the
power cord’s grounding conductor. To avoid electrical shock, plug the power cord
into a properly wired/grounded receptacle before connecting the product test leads.
WARNING
DANGER FROM LOSS OF GROUND:
Upon loss of the protective ground connection, all accessible conductive
parts, including knobs and controls that may appear to be insulated,
can cause an electric shock!
NOTICE
The ground-fault system on the Baker AWA-IV will render it inoperative
without a proper ground. When the host Baker AWA-IV tester is connected
to a power pack, an inoperable condition will also affect the power pack.
