3. Warnings and notes
In order to maintain the highest level of operator safety while carrying out various tests
and measurements Metrel recommends keeping your
TeraOhm 10 kV
test equipment in
good condition and undamaged. When using this test equipment, consider the following
general warnings:
The
symbol on the test equipment means »Read the Instruction manual
with special care for safe operation«. The symbol requires an action!
The
symbol on the test equipment means “Hazardous voltage may be
present at the test terminals!”.
If the test equipment is used in a manner not specified in this Instruction manual,
the protection provided by the equipment could be impaired!
Read this Instruction manual carefully, otherwise the use of the test equipment
may be dangerous for the operator, the test equipment itself or for the tested
object!
Do not use the test equipment or any of the accessories if any damage is noticed!
Consider
all
generally known precautions in order to avoid risk of electric shock
while dealing with hazardous voltages!
Do not connect the test equipment to a mains voltage different from the one
defined on the label adjacent to the mains connector, otherwise it may be
damaged.
Service intervention or adjustment is only allowed to be carried out by competent
authorized personnel!
Hazardous voltages exist inside the test equipment. Disconnect all test leads,
remove the power supply cable and switch off the test equipment before opening
the battery compartment.
All normal safety precautions must be taken in order to avoid risk of electric shock
while working on electrical installations!
Do not use the equipment in a wet environment, around explosive gas, vapour or
dust.
Only adequately trained and competent persons may operate the equipment.
Warnings related to measurement functions:
Working with the instrument
Use only standard or optional test accessories supplied by your distributor!
Test tips should only be used for TRMS voltage measurement (CAT IV 600 V).
Do not use high voltage test lead with tip for TRMS voltage measurement in CAT
III or CAT IV environment. Risk of bridging two high-energy conductors with tip
resulting in arc flash and short circuit.
