Transporting and Storing the M4000
The M4100 Instrument, M4200c Controller, and Accessories should be stored
in a reasonably clean and dry location. If the M4100 Instrument, M4200c
Controller, and/or the inboard or outboard potheads of the High Voltage Test
Cable are exposed to excessive dirt and/or moisture, they should be cleaned
and dried before use. The inboard and outboard potheads of the Cable, and the
cable pothead guide receptacle on the M4100 Instrument, could track along
their surfaces if high voltage is applied while they are contaminated with
surface dirt and/or moisture.
The M4100 and M4200c should be properly secured within the vehicle when
being transported locally, and mounted in the normal upright position
(preferably a location, in a van or truck, which is not directly above an axle of
the vehicle). If a padded shipping container or trunk is not used when
transporting the Instrument and Transformer locally, then protect against road
vibration and bumps by having them mounted on shock absorbing material (2"
to 4" of padding is desirable).
Avoid sharp bends in the High Voltage Test Cable when both using and
transporting. The cable should be coiled into no smaller than a 12-inch
diameter coil.
