5.4.1 Measuring with SparkScan1 High Voltage Clamp
The SparkView high voltage indicator is suitable for high voltage measurements with a
SparkScan1 high voltage clamp not exceeding 3 m (118"). Before taking measurements with the
SparkScan1 high voltage clamp, read the operating manual of the SparkScan1 supplied with the
product. Then proceed as follows:
High voltage! Danger to life!
While the engine is running, there is danger to life through high voltage
particularly in the area of the ignition system. Do not touch the spark plug
lead with your hands while the engine is running. You can safely touch the
grounded SparkScan1 high voltage clamp even when the engine is running.
1. Switch on the SparkView high voltage indicator by pressing the on/off button . The
SparkView calibrates itself when it is switched on.
2. Press and hold the SET button and use the adjustment buttons to adjust the red
and the yellow range.
▸ The setting is saved for the currently set measuring range and is retained when the
SparkView is restarted.
High voltage! Danger to life!
Without proper grounding of the SparkScan1 high voltage clamp, life-
threatening high voltage can occur. For your own safety, observe the fol-
lowing:
– Ensure at all times that the SparkScan1 is properly grounded to the
engine. Use the green-yellow cable with the alligator clip for this pur-
pose.
– If the grounding clamp of the SparkScan1 comes loose during measur-
ing (e.g. by tripping over the cable to the grounding clamp), do not
touch the measuring clamp and the cables of the SparkScan1 or the
BNC connector of the SparkView. Switch off the engine, and when the
ignition is inactive, restore proper grounding before proceeding with
measuring.
Risk of damage!
Hot engine parts can damage the grounding cable of the SparkScan1 high
voltage clamp or the SparkView high voltage indicator. Avoid contact of the
products with hot spots. Do not use damaged products.
