a. If the unit’s battery level is red, recharge using the charger adapter supplied
with the insulation tester kit. (NOTE: Use of any other charger may cause
damage to the insulation tester unit and void warranty.)
b. Only use this unit if it is at Green=Battery Full.
3. Connect the HV probe and ground leads to the unit.
4. Connect the ground clamp to the metallic substrate of the item to be tested.
Substrate should be grounded.
5. Attach the selected probe (ring, brush, Tri-Hole, or Saddle block) to the HV
Wire or base unit port (red).
6. Power on unit and select voltage.
7. Place the probe near the metal substrate.
8. A spark should occur (if not recheck all leads).
9. The unit should now be ready for use.
10. Test the coated surface by lightly moving the probe (brush, ring, and Tri-Hole
electrode) slowly (approximately three [3] feet every four [4] seconds) across
the surface of the unit under test. (See Operational Guide for Saddle block.)

There are several ways to set the Saddle block up depending upon the
electrosurgical instrument (ESI) to be tested and/or the kit used.
1. Insert the chosen electrode securely into the proper slot on the Saddle block.
2. Take the clamp on the green ground wire and attach it to the conductive core of
the instrument under test.
3. Turn the base unit on and set the voltage to 2.8- ± 0.3 kV.
