SAFETY
AVTMTTR100-ENG Rev 6 Nov 2015

If the test equipment is operated properly and all grounds correctly made, test
personnel need not wear rubber gloves. As a routine safety procedure, however,
some users require that rubber gloves be worn, not only when making
connections to the high-voltage terminals, but also when manipulating the
controls. Megger considers this an excellent safety practice.
Users of equipment should note that high-voltage discharges and other sources
of strong electric or magnetic field may interfere with the proper functioning of
heart pacemakers. Persons with heart pacemakers should obtain expert advice
on the possible risks before operating this equipment or being close to the
equipment during operation.
