Cirris 4200 Series User Manual
1. Safety/Support
Please make the following safety information available to any person who comes in contact with Cirris equipment.
Cirris Systems will not be held liable for injuries suered if the tester is not properly maintained or safety guidelines are not
followed.
1.1 Workplace Maintenance
There are several steps you can take to ensure your workplace is safe and maintained. The following suggestions can help
create a safe environment for employees.
● Set up your tester away from normal employee activity.
● If testing with high voltage, make sure high voltage warning signs are visible.
● Use a non-conductive workbench or table. A conductive mate or materials can create shorts in exposed connections.
● Keep the area around the tester clean and organized.
● Once a device is tested, be sure to place it in an appropriate area where it is obvious to the operator and any observers
which devices need to be tested, which devices have been tested, and if the device passed or failed the test.
1.2 Intended Use
Your 4200 Series tester is intended to be used indoors at a temperature of 50-104 degrees Fahrenheit (10-40 degrees Cel-
sius). Best performance can be obtained at a relative humidity of less than 70%. Insulation Resistance measurements will
degrade at over 70% relative humidity.
Never apply live voltages to the test points or probe input of your Cirris tester. Power supplies and other accessories not
approved by Cirris may cause damage or present a hazard.
Warning: If the equipment is used in a manner not specied by the manufacturer, built-in protections provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
1.3 Warnings and Precautions
Heed the following sections to ensure safety throughout your testing process.
1.3.1 High Voltage Warning
Cirris high voltage (hipot) testers are designed to be safe for operators. High voltage testing does not present a danger
to healthy individuals; however, occasional mild electric shock may be experienced. Small shocks only occur during a
high voltage test when someone touches an energized connection point. Any shock from the tester may result in a high
voltage test failure.
