Quick Start Guide
GSAFETY WARNINGS
■ Safety Warnings and Precautions must be read and understood before
the instrument is used. They
must be observed during use.
■ The circuit under test must be switched off, de-energised and
isolated before test connections are made when carrying out insulation
and continuity tests.
■ 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.
■ Circuit connections and exposed metalwork of an installation or
equipment under test
must not be touched.
■ The live circuit warning and Automatic discharge are additional safety
features and
should not be regarded as a substitute for normal safe
working practices.
■ Do not move the rotary switch positions while a test is in progress.
■ The LCD ‘neon’ voltage indicators cannot reveal a Neutral - Earth reversal.
They
cannot be relied upon to identify circuit correctness and are for
guidance only.
■ After insulation tests, capacitive circuits must be allowed to discharge
before disconnecting test leads.
■ The instrument should not be used if any part of it is damaged.
■ Test leads, probes and crocodile clips must be in good order, clean and
with no broken or cracked insulation.
■ Ensure that hands remain behind guards of probes/clips when testing.
■ U.K. Safety Authorities recommend the use of fused test leads when
measuring voltage on high energy systems.
■ Replacement fuses must be of the correct type and rating. Failure to fit
the correctly rated fuse will result in damage to the instrument in the
event of an overload.
