PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
1.
Meter assembly and live line tool adapters shall be considered
non-insulating
. Do not let live line tool fittings come in
contact with energized or grounded conductors.
2.
Use appropriate length live line tools for voltage being worked
and maintain minimum approach distances as outlined in
OSHA 1910.269, Table R-6.
3.
All Phasing Meters and Voltage Detectors manufactured
during and after
2007 will have a limit mark engraved on the
high voltage probe(s) 2.5 inches from the tip to indicate to the
user the physical limit that should not be exceeded when
approaching and contacting an electrical conductor or other
electrical test points. Zero Ohm insulated adapters (81280IE)
should be used if limit mark will be exceeded.
4.
This equipment should be used only by qualified employees,
trained in and familiar with the safety-related work practices,

INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE BEFORE USE
WARNING
1.
Prior to using any high voltage test equipment a careful
inspection should be made to ensure the unit is free from any
contaminants such as dirt, grease, etc. and that there are no
apparent physical damages.
2.
High voltage probe assemblies shall be wiped clean prior to
each use with a silicone impregnated cloth and kept clean and
free of contaminants. This will prevent tracking on the outside
of the probe and meter error.
3.
Always confirm internal battery voltage before and after each
use.
