2.2 Action When in Emergency
In case of an emergency (such as electric shock hazard or burning of DUT), take
the following actions. You may do either (1) or (2) first. But be sure to do both.
1. Turn OFF the power switch of the tester.
2. Disconnect the AC power cord of the tester from the AC line receptacle.
2.3 Precautions on Testing
Wearing Insulation Gloves
When handling the tester, be sure to wear electrical insulation gloves in order to
protect yourself against high voltages.
Precautions for Pausing Tests
When changing test conditions, press the STOP switch once to take precautions. If
you are not going to resume the test soon or if you are leaving the Test area, be
sure to turn OFF the POWER switch.
Items Charged Up to Dangerous High Voltages
When in test, the DUT, test leadwires, probes, and output terminals and their
vicinities can be charged up to dangerous high voltages. Never touch them when
in test.
!
WARNING The vinyl sheaths of the alligator clips of the test leadwires which
are supplied accompanying the tester have no sufficient insulation for the high
test voltages. Never touch them when in test.
Matters to be Sure of After Turning-OFF Power
If you have to touch the DUT, test leadwires, probes, and/or output terminals and
their vicinities for re-connections or other reasons, be sure of the following two
matters.
1. The analog voltmeter indicates “zero.”
2. The DANGER lamp has gone out.
Warnings for Remote Control
Be extremely careful when operating the tester in the remote control mode in which
the dangerous high test voltage is ON/OFF-controlled remotely. Provide protective
means as follows:
1. Provide means to assure that the test setup does not become the test voltage is
being delivered by inadvertent operation.
2. Provide means to assure that none can touch the DUT, test leadwires, probes,
output terminals and their vicinities when the test voltage is being delivered.
