2. SAFETY INFORMATlON
1. The circuit under test must be de energised and isolated before
connections ere made .
2. Circuit connections must not be touched during a test.
3. After Insulation tests capacitive circuits must be alIowed to be
discharged.
4. Test leads must be in good order, dean and have no cracked or
broken insuIation.
5. Do not push the test button before all connections and
preparations are done. The instrument must only be used by
suitably trained and competent persons.
Warning and safety symbols
Caution refer to this manual before using the meter.
Dangerous voltages.
Comply with lEC1010-1
3. OPERATION
Before taking any measurements, read the safety Information
section. Always examine the instrument for demage, contamination
(excessive dirt, grease, etc.) end defects Examine the teat leads for
cracked or frayed Insulation. If any abnormal conditions exist do not
make any measurements.
3.1 PRECAUTIONS
1. Disconnect aIl power from the circuit under test when making
measurements. If any voltage is present in the test circuit an
erroneous reading will result.
2. When the test switch la pressed a high voltage Is generated
between ‘+’ and ‘-’ terminals. Do not touch any live parts In the
circuit during measurement.
