Important Safety Information
• The UltraTEV
®
Plus
2
(UTP2) is designed for use at ground potential only. The UTP2, its accessories or
connecting leads, do not provide any inherent protection against electric shock.
• When testing electrical plant ensure that the metalwork is earthed before taking any measurements.
• Maintain safety clearances between structures at high voltage and the instrument, its probes and the
operator at all times.
• The UTP2 must only be used in conjunction with accessories and connecting leads as specified by EA
Technology.
• HFCTs, connecting leads and test equipment do not provide protection against high voltage.
• Under no circumstances are earth/ground connections to be loosened, disconnected or otherwise
altered to allow use of this equipment.
• Adhere strictly to local safety procedures.
• Do not make measurements when there are electrical storms in the vicinity.
• Do not make measurements immediately following the energisation of a circuit.
• Do not disturb plant during measurements either mechanically (e.g. by shaking or striking it),
electrically (e.g. by increasing the voltage) or physically (e.g. by applying heat).
• Do not operate the instrument or its accessories in an explosive atmosphere.
• Mains supply voltages are present within the battery charger.
• The UTP2 contains no user serviceable parts, always return to EA Technology or your local distributor
for service and repair.
• Care must be taken where work is performed in tight corners, where the proximity of other earth
planes will affect the reading. If possible, maintain a distance of more than 30cm from metal work
which runs perpendicular to the sensor faceplate.
• Long-term exposure to loud sounds may cause hearing loss. To prevent possible hearing damage, do
not listen at high volume levels for long periods of time.
