SAFETY WARNINGS
★
The circuit under test must be switched off, de-energised and isolated before insulation test connections
are made.
★
Circuit connections must not be touched during an insulation test.
★
After insulation tests, capacitive circuits must be discharged before disconnecting the test leads.
★
Turning the instrument off, and manually discharging of circuits on completion of tests is recommended as
standard procedure, before touching any connections.
★
In certain circumstances, break-down of the circuit under test may cause the instrument to terminate the
test in an uncontrolled manner, possibly causing a loss of display while the circuit remains energised. In this
event, it is even more important that the ‘ON/OFF’ key is pressed, and the circuit manually discharged
before touching any connections.
★
Test leads including crocodile clips must be in good order, clean and with no broken or cracked insulation.
★
Replacement fuses must be of the correct type and rating.
★
The instrument should not be used if any part of it is damaged.
★
If water is present in the charger recess, the instrument must not be used. It is recommended that the
instrument is not used in wet weather conditions.
