SAFETY WARNING
The detector generates a high voltage at the probe tip,
up to 30,000 volts.
The equipment should be used with extreme care,
following the instructions given in this Manual.
All CE marked Elcometer 136 Holiday Detectors meet
the emc directive 89/336/EEC, amended 92/31/EEC &
93/98/EEC.
However, due to its method of operation, the Detector will
generate broadband RF emissions when a spark is produced
at the probe, i.e. when a defect in the coating is located. These
emissions may interfere with the operation of sensitive
electronic apparatus in the vicinity.
In the extreme case of a continuous spark of length 5mm, the
magnitude of emissions at a distance of 3m was found to be
approximately 60dBµV/m from 30MHz to 1000MHz.
It is therefore recommended that this equipment is not
operated within 30m of known sensitive electronic equipment
and that continuous sparks are not deliberately generated by
the User.
