VIII TEST LEADS, BATTERY MAINTENANCE, AND STORAGE
The high voltage test lead is provided with a male MC connector. This allows the lead to be
terminated with a hot line clamp, vise grip, or elbow adapter. Push the male connector into
the female to release the locking connection. Be careful to insure the sliding ring of the male
probe stays movable. Any substance which causes the ring to not move will prevent the
female connector from being removed from the male. The high voltage lead is available
with RG-8U polyethylene cable or EPR x-ray cable.
The ground lead must always connected to the neutral bus! Be sure to pull all the cable out
of the storage area and lay on the ground such that there are no loops.
The internal sealed lead acid battery should be kept charged to at least 11.5 volts during
storage since it can be severely damaged if stored below 10.5 volts. The internal battery
charger regulates the voltage at approximately 13.6 to 13.8 volts so the unit should be left
connected to 120-240 volts AC to store between uses. To check battery voltage at any time
use battery check switch. The battery can also be charged by connecting the DC input to the
unit to a van or truck battery or to an external battery charger.
The battery will eventually wear out. Projected life is 2 to 5 years. Indications of a worn out
battery are that the unit will only run a short time on battery power. Contact the factory for
details on replacing a dead battery
Keep the outer case clean and store in a dry location to prevent corrosion of the internal
connections. Tighten any parts or connections that loosen in use.
The unit should be stored plugged into a 120-240 volt supply or external 12V Supply such as
a vehicle power source.
