3. Usage
3.1 General
Keep fingers behind the finger guards shown below.
Check the correct function of the VIP
ESI both before and after use with a
true AC output proving unit such as
the Socket and See SP400.
The main body prod is
interchangeable to allow fitting of
either a straight or right-angle prod as
needed. Unscrew the collar, pull the
prod straight out from the main unit,
refit and tighten using normal finger
pressure. Check correct operation
afterwards.
Should the straight prod on the passive probe be damaged it can also be
changed. Unscrew the collar and then unscrew the prod from the probe body.
Be careful not to remove the Safety Resistor Cartridge from the probe body.
Screw on the replacement prod and refit the collar to finger tightness. Check
correct operation afterwards.
Please note:
The passive probe straight prod and main unit prods are not
interchangeable.
3.2 Voltage Indication
To use as a voltage indicator, touch the prods onto the circuit to be measured.
The voltage between the two points of contact will be indicated immediately. If
the voltage is AC Mains, its impedance will be measured. This is shown by a
pulsing of the display and afterwards either HiZ or LoZ are indicated.
