3.0 Safety
Elma RT606 A Rotary Field Tester have been constructed and verified in compliance with
the latest safety standards for Test Instruments IEC/EN 61010-1and IEC/EN 61557-7 and
have left the factory in safe and perfect conditions.
In order to avoid electrical shock, the valid safety and VDE regulations regarding
excessive contact voltages must receive utmost attention, when working with
voltages exceeding 120V (60V) DC or 50V (25V)rms AC. The values in brackets are
valid for limited ranges (as for example medicine and agriculture).
Prior to usage ensure perfect instrument function.
The safety can no longer be insured if the instrument:
• shows obvious damage
• does not carry out the desired measurements
• has been stored for too long under unfavourable conditions
• has been subjected to mechanical stress during transport.
The instrument may only be used under those conditions and for those purposes for
which it was conceived. For this reason, in particular the safety references, the
technical datas including environmental conditions and the usage in dry
environments must be followed. When modifying or changing the instrument, the
operational safety is no longer ensured.
The respective accident prevention regulations established by the professional
associations for electrical systems and equipment must be strictly met at all times.
Avoid any heating up of the instrument by direct sunlight to ensure perfect
functioning and long instrument life.
4,0 Appropriate Usage
