SAFE OPERATION:
Only qualified knowledgeable persons should be permitted or attempt to operate this test
equipment. All test personnel should fully familiarize themselves with the correct application
and operation of this and all test equipment prior to operation. Persons directly and indirectly
engaged in the operation of this test equipment should keep clear of all high voltage
apparatus while conducting tests and measurements.
BEFORE APPLYING POWER:
Do not vary the input power source voltage level (IE...Connected to a variable AC power
source).
The TR-MARK III auto-senses the input power from the mains plus 110 or 240 VAC 50/60Hz.
Varying the input voltage will cause the test voltage to vary and result in a higher or lower
test voltage than indicated. Heavy changes may even damage the device.
GROUND THE INSTRUMENT:
To minimize shock hazard, the instruments Ground Terminal must be connected to a
properly grounded receptacle. In many cases, the quality of the safety ground provided by
the power cord does not fulfill safety needs. Also the power cord supplied with the equipment
must be connected an electrical receptacle with an electrical ground (safety earth ground).
Non grounded instruments are dangerous and may cause instrument damage.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS:
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and
internal adjustments must be made by qualified service personnel. Do not replace
components with power cable connected. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power,
discharge circuits, and remove external voltage sources before touching components.
WARNING!
Never connect TR-MARK III to a transformer, which is energized or
connected to power lines.
