DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock or electric arcs
To avoid any electrical hazards when starting up and using the PD Scan,
the following instructions must be followed:
•
All notices, instructions, rules of conduct and operating manuals of the
facility manager/plant operator must be complied with!
•
When approaching live equipment, the safe distances applicable for
the corresponding voltage level must be observed at all times!
Information regarding the minimum distances to be observed must be
obtained from the facility manager/plant operator before beginning
work.
•
Antennas which are connected to the detector for measuring purposes
are conductive components. Their length is therefore especially to be
taken into account when approaching live components!

First steps
Pressing the on/off switch switches on the PD Scan.
The PD Scan is fitted with an internal Li-ion rechargeable battery. This allows the device
to be operated for up to 8 hours, depending on the operating mode.
Before using the device on-site, the PD Scan should be switched on briefly and the
charge status of the battery be checked at the upper right of the display.
When the remaining capacity is low, recharging the battery before starting the
measurement is recommended (see page 60). No measurements can be performed
during the charging process.
