Workplace Precautions 
 
The GPT-10000 is a high voltage instrument 
that outputs dangerous voltages. The following 
section describes precautions and procedures 
that must be followed to ensure a safe work 
environment. 
The GPT-10000 generates voltages in excess of 
5kVAC or 6kVDC -12kVDC. Follow all safety 
precautions, warnings and directions given in the 
following section when using the instrument. 
1.  Only technically qualified personnel should be 
allowed to operate the safety analyzer. 
2.  The operating workplace must be fully isolated, 
especially when the instrument is in operation. 
The instrument should be clearly labeled with 
appropriate warning signage. 
3.  The operator should not wear any conductive 
materials, jewelry, badges, or other items, such 
wrist watches.   
4.  The operator should wear insulation gloves for 
high voltage protection. 
5.  Ensure the earth ground of the line voltage is 
properly grounded. 
6.  Ensure any devices that are adversely affected 
by magnetic fields are not placed near the 
tester.
