NSG 439/439A ESD simulator for robotic solution
The NSG 439 simulator 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 simulator 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).
