1.1 Warnings
In order to reach a high level of operator safety while carrying out various measurements
using the instrument, as well as to keep the test equipment undamaged, it is necessary to
consider the following general warnings:
Warning on the instrument means »Read the Instruction manual with
special
care to safety operation«. The symbol requires an action!
Read this instruction manual carefully, otherwise use of the instrument may
be dangerous for the operator, for the instrument or for the equipment under
test!
If the test equipment is used in manner not specified in this instruction
manual the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired!
Appliances MUST be fully disconnected from the mains supply before it is
connected to the MI3311 GammaPAT in order to perform a PAT test.
Do not touch any test leads/terminals while the appliance is connected to the
MI3311 GammaPAT.
Do not use the instrument and accessories if any damage is noticed!
The Instrument should not to be used for measurements while charging.
Consider all generally known precautions in order to avoid risk of electric
shock while dealing with hazardous voltages!
Use only standard or optional test accessories, supplied by your distributor!
Instrument servicing and adjustment is only allowed to be carried out by
competent authorized personnel!
Hazardous voltages can exist inside the instrument. Disconnect all test leads,
remove the power supply cable and switch off the instrument before opening
the battery compartment.
Instrument contains rechargeable NiCd or NiMh battery cells. The cells
should only be replaced with the same type as defined on the battery
placement label or in this manual. Do not use standard alkaline battery cells
while power supply adapter is connected, otherwise they may explode!
If a test code with an earth bond test current higher than 200 mA is selected
(manually, with barcode reader or with RFID reader/writer) the GammaPAT
instrument will automatically perform the Earth continuity test with a 200 mA
test current. Other test parameters remain unchanged. The operator must be
competent to decide if performing the test with a 200 mA current is
acceptable!
The Substitute leakage current / Substitute leakage - P tests can be carried
out as an alternative for the Leakage and Touch leakage tests if there are no
mains supply dependent switches inside the equipment. The operator must
be competent to decide if performing the Substitute leakage current test is
applicable!
If a test code with a Leakage current is selected (manually, with barcode
reader or with RFID reader/writer) the GammaPAT instrument will
automatically perform a Substitute leakage test. Other test parameters remain
unchanged. The operator must be competent to decide if performing the
Substitute leakage test is acceptable!
If a test code with a Touch leakage current is selected (manually, with
barcode reader or with RFID reader/writer) the GammaPAT instrument will
automatically perform a Substitute leakage - P test. Other test parameters
remain unchanged. The operator must be competent to decide if performing
the Substitute leakage - P test is acceptable!
