free of contaminants. This will prevent tracking on the outside

DESIGN and FUNCTION
The HI POT meter is designed to HI POT cable at 7.2kV phase to
ground. The hi-pot DC diode is built into the meter and the interconnect
cable between the meter and second probe is removable and available in
varying lengths.
There are two selector toggle switches on meter, one on the back and one
on the side of the meter housing. The toggle on the back allows the user
to select between 7.2kV Test. The selector switch located on the side
allows the user to test the meter operation and turn on an LED back light
for low light work conditions.
Note: Meter back-light and test operate off of a 9volt battery located in
the meter housing. The meter will still operate with a dead battery but
the light and test functions will not.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The threaded live line tool fitting on the face of the meter probe is
furnished with two flat edges for use with a wrench or slip joint pliers to
remove and install the fitting from the meter housing. To remove, turn
the live line tool fitting in a counterclockwise direction and install in a
clockwise direction.
