6 HIGH VOLTAGE PROBE HANDLE (continued)
If the grip is then grasped again within approximately two seconds the
voltage at the probe will be immediately restored. This feature allows
the user to adjust their grip as required without interruption.
If the grip is not grasped within this two second interval, the high
voltage probe handle is switched off automatically. To continue testing,
grasp the handle again and press the button on the handle.
6.3 DC30S CONTINUOUS VOLTAGE PROBE HANDLE
The DC30S probe handle does not have
the safety interlock feature.
To switch off the voltage output, press the
On/Off key (a) on the top of the handle.
Alternatively, switch off the Elcometer 266
instrument using the On/Off key (b).
To connect the handle to the instrument,
follow the instructions outlined in Section
6.1 'Connecting a High Voltage Probe
Handle' on page en-12.
When a DC30S probe handle is connected
to the instrument, a warning message is
displayed each time the instrument is
switched on. Press OK to acknowledge
and continue operating as normal.
Note: The DC30S Continuous Voltage Probe
Handle is compatible with Elcometer 266
instruments with serial numbers 'SC16119'
onwards. The software in older instruments
must be updated by Elcometer or your local
Elcometer distributor to recognise the new
DC30S handle.
