IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• Only trained, professional operating personnel should use the HVA High Voltage Ammeter.
The voltages this instrument operates at are dangerous and lethal. Severe injury or death
can occur if improperly used.
• Risk of electrocution is inherent in or around high voltage.
• Always use proper high voltage procedures, including personal protective equipment,
when working near or around high voltage equipment or conductors.
• Do not exceed the maximum voltage rating.
• The Ammeter must be used with a hotstick of the appropriate length for the voltage of
the conductor being measured per your company and OSHA published requirements.
• Do not touch the HVA High Voltage Ammeter during measurements. The housing should
be considered to be at the same voltage as the conductor under test.
• Prior to using, inspect the instrument for any physical damage, cleanliness and check
for proper working order by pressing and holding the ON button. Do not proceed if
the display does not indicate all 8’s.
• Never allow another high voltage or grounded conductor to contact the instrument
during use. Keep the housing free and clear of all structures at all times. Bridging
the housing from line-to-ground or line-to-line may cause a fault and arc.
• The HVA High Voltage Ammeter does not measure current below 1 Amp. A zero current
reading
does not
mean the line is dead or grounded.
• The HVA High Voltage Ammeter measures AC current only. It does not measure
DC current.
