SAFETY WARNINGS
Q Safety Warnings and Precautions must be read and understood before the instrument is used. They must be observed
during use.
Q The circuit under test must be switched off, de-energised and isolated before test connections are made when carrying
out insulation and continuity tests.
Q Continuity of protective conductors and earthed equipotential bonding of new or modified installations must be verified
before carrying out an earth fault loop impedance test, or RCD test.
Q Circuit connections and exposed metalwork of an installation or equipment under test must not be touched.
Q Do not move the rotary selector switch position while a test is in progress.
Q The LCD ‘neon’ voltage indicators cannot reveal a Neutral - Earth reversal.
Q After insulation tests, capacitive circuits must be allowed to discharge before disconnecting test leads.
Q The instrument should not be used if any part of it is damaged.
Q Test leads, probes and crocodile clips must be in good order, clean and with no broken or cracked insulation.
Q U.K. Safety Authorities recommend the use of fused test leads when measuring voltage on high energy systems.
Q Replacement fuses must be of the correct type and rating.
