Other Important Safety warnings
Failure to follow these precautions could result in severe electrical shock or death.
11)
Never
attempt a two-party operation. Always know what test is being performed
and when.
FOR EXAMPLE: DO NOT adjust test leads when footswitch is being
operated. Leads will have live voltage and severe electric shock may result.
12)
For capacitor-started motors or systems with surge arrestors/power factor
capacitors, be sure to
disconnect
all capacitors from the test circuit
before
testing.
13)
Upon completion of a DC High Potential, Megohm, Polarization Index, Step Voltage,
Dielectric absorption, or Continuous Ramp test, before disconnecting the test leads,
short the winding, motor, etc., to ground and allow time for discharge. If this is not
done, voltage may still be active on leads and tested components.
14)
Make sure
the tester leads are disconnected before the motor is energized or
powered up.
15)
Do not
remove the product covers or panels or operate the tester without the
covers and panels properly installed. Components on inside of tester carry voltage
for operation and if touched can render a shock.
16)
Use appropriate safety equipment required by your organization, including high
voltage globes and eye protection.
17)
Repair Parts Warning
: Defective, damaged, or broken test leads must be replaced
with factory-authorized parts to ensure safe operation and maintain performance
specifications.
18)
Ground the product:
This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of
the power cord. To avoid electrical shock, plug the power cord into a properly
wired/grounded receptacle before connecting the product test leads.
Danger from loss of ground – Upon loss of the protective ground connection,
all accessible conductive parts, including knobs and controls that may appear
to be insulated, can cause an electric shock!
19)
This instrument is
NOT
waterproof or sealed against water entry.
20)
The unit is for indoor use. If used outdoors, the unit must be protected from rain,
snow and other contaminants.
