1.4 Other Precautions
DANGER
•
Ground the equipment WITHOUT FAIL.
ELECTRIC SHOCK! Unless the equipment is grounded, the leakage
breaker will not trip in the event current leaks, possibly resulting in
electric shock. For details on grounding, see "3.3 Power Supply Work".
•
BEFORE using the equipment, test the leakage breaker
and make sure it is working properly.
ELECTRIC SHOCK! If the breaker is not working properly, shut OFF the
primary power supply and contact the place of purchase or ESPEC
CORP. Using the equipment in anything but good working condition
could result in electric shock. For an explanation on how to test the
breaker, see "6.2 Checks".
•
Use only the specimen power supply control terminal
(option) to apply voltage to specimens.
Specimens generate heat as they are charged. The specimen power
supply control terminals are interlocked with the cabinet control circuit,
so power to specimens is turned OFF when the cabinet is not running.
Using other means to charge specimens leaves the specimens charged
in the event of cabinet trouble. This can drive up temperature inside the
cabinet which can damage specimens and, in worse cases, result in
fire. For more information, see "How to Charge Specimens" in "4.1 Test
Preparations".

•
Do not use or leave the equipment outdoors.
Not only can outdoor environments adversely affect performance and
functioning, but also electrical parts contact with water can lead to
short-circuit, fire, electric shock and breakdown.
•
Do not disassemble, remodel or service the equipment.
Unauthorized handling can lead to malfunction, fire, electric shock,
personal injury and breakdown. For servicing, contact the place of
purchase or ESPEC ENGINEERING CORP.
