Safety Information - Ideal 61-955 Manual De Instrucciones

Read first: Safety Information
Understand and follow operating instructions carefully. Use the tracer only as specified in this
manual; otherwise, the protection provided by the tracer maybe impaired.
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, personal injury, or death, follow these instructions:
• Before using or connecting the tracer, visually inspect to ensure the cases are not cracked and back case
is securely in place. Do not use if tracer appears damaged.
• Before using the test leads, inspect carefully for damaged insulation, exposed metal or cracked probes.
Do not use leads if they appear damaged.
• This product is only to be used by persons trained and experienced in working with high voltages, and
who are aware of the dangers and precautions to be taken when working in such environments. Observe
lockout and tagout protocols where appropriate.
• Never use the tracer with a remote ground in patient care areas. Ground currents generated by the tracer
may create a shock hazard for electrically susceptible patients.
• Always test the remote ground system to confirm that its resistance is less than 100 ohms from remote
ground to circuit neutral.
• Always check circuits to verify that the hot, neutral and ground are wired correctly.
• Do not use tracer if it operates abnormally as protection may be impaired.
• Do not use during electrical storms or in wet weather.
• Do not use around explosive gas, dust, or vapor or in damp or wet environments. Do not submerge or
expose the meter to water and do not use if the meter has ever been exposed to water or other fluids.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to the tracer.
• Do not use without the batteries and the back case properly installed.
• Remove the test leads from the circuit prior to removing the battery cover.
• Do not attempt to repair this unit as it has no user-serviceable parts.
• Use only approved connecting leads. Do not use improvised connections that could present a safety
hazard.
• Always ensure that test leads are secured so that they cannot be accidentally snagged or tripped over.
• When switching on the transmitter, always verify that the three indicator LEDs illuminate briefly on power
up.
• The Line Energized feature provides an additional safety alert. If the indicator is not illuminated, always
independently confirm the status of the line to be absolutely sure.
• Remove all the batteries for storage or if the meter will not be used for longer than one month. Battery
leakage will compromise the safety and cause damage to internal components.
CAUTION
To protect yourself, think "Safety First":
• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose a shock hazard so use caution.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, face shields,
insulating gloves, insulating boots, and/or insulating mats.
• Never ground yourself when working on an electrical circuit.
• Always make the ground or neutral connection first, and remove last when using clip leads
or adaptor cord.
