GSAFETY WARNINGS
■ This instrument must only be used by suitably trained and competent persons.
■ The circuit under test must be switched off, de-energised and isolated before insulation test connections are made.
■ Circuit connections must not be touched during an insulation test.
■ After completion of an insulation test, capacitive circuits must be discharged before disconnecting the test leads.
■ Turning the instrument off, and manually discharging circuits on completion of tests is recommended as standard procedure, before touching the test
leads.
■ In certain circumstances, breakdown of the circuit under test may cause the instrument to terminate the test in an uncontrolled manner, possibly
causing a loss of display while the circuit remains energised. In this event, it is even more important that the ‘ON/OFF’ key is pressed, and the
circuit manually discharged before touching any connections.
■ Test leads, including crocodile clips, must be in good order, clean and with no broken or cracked insulation.
■ The instrument should not be used if any part of it is damaged.
■ Water on the surface of the instrument may lead to erroneous results. It is recommended that the instrument is not used in wet weather conditions.
■ This instrument is not intrinsically safe and must not be used in hazardous atmospheres.
