SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Every consideration has been given to the design and construction of the Multi-Amp Model CB-832
Portable High Current Test Set to make it a safe piece of test equipment as well as one that is
accurate, reliable, and easy to use.
WARNING
The Model CB-832 is not designed for use on energized circuits. For the safety of the operator and
protection of the instrument, do not connect it to circuits that are energized. This includes circuits
that could become energized during the course of a test procedure utilizing this instrument.
It must be remembered that the test set is capable of producing voltage and current levels that can be
deadly if personnel come in contact with them.
For safe operation, it is absolutely essential that the technician properly and effectively ground
(earth) the test set. This is accomplished by connecting the input line cord to a properly grounded
receptacle.
CAUTION
The input voltage of this instrument is not selectable. All the units are shipped from the factory set
up for operation from either a nominal 115 volt or 230 volt source. If the unit is to be used on a
voltage source different than the nameplate specifies, major changes in the test set are required. It is
necessary for the technician to contact the factory to obtain the necessary parts and instructions
before attempting to change the input voltage of the test set.
The CB-832 should be properly operated by qualified personnel who have familiarized themselves
with the test set and thoroughly read the instruction manual provided with it.
If questions arise concerning the care, operation, maintenance or application of the test set, contact
the Multi-Amp Corporation for assistance.
