Safety Information

XW
To prevent possible electrical shock or personal
injury, follow these guidelines:
•
Before and after testing, confirm that the Tester
does not indicate the presence of a hazardous
voltage, see Figure 3. If the Tester beeps
continuously and a hazardous voltage is shown
on the display, remove power from the circuit
under test or allow the installation capacitance to
fully discharge.
•
Use the Tester only as specified in this manual.
Otherwise the protection provided by the Tester
can be compromised.
•
Connect the common test lead before the live test
lead and remove the live test lead before the
common test lead.
•
Do not disconnect the test leads before a test has
been completed and the test voltage at the
terminals has returned to zero. This ensures that
any charged capacitance is fully discharged.
•
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-
voltage capacitors before you measure resistance
or capacitance.
•
Do not work alone or around explosive gas, vapor
or dust.
•
Do not use the Tester in a damp or wet
environment.
•
Examine the test leads for damaged insulation or
exposed metal. Check test lead continuity.
Replace damaged leads. Do not use the Tester if it
looks damaged.
•
Be careful around voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac
peak, or 60 V dc. Such voltages pose a shock
hazard.
•
Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the
probes.
Warning: Read before Tester use.
