Working Safely with Capacitive loads
6
1. These instruments are designed to safely charge and discharge
capacitive loads up to 5 µF. To safeguard against malfunction
however, you are advised to take your own precautions when
working with capacitive loads. Remember that when charged,
even low value capacitors can be fatal on contact .
2. Extra care must be taken if the locking Test button is selected.
3. Circuit connections must not be touched when testing.
4. Care must be taken to prevent capacitive circuits becoming
disconnected during a test, leaving the circuit in a charged state.
5. On completion of a test, the instrument indicates circuit decaying
voltage. Do not disconnect test leads until the load capacitance
has discharged to below 60 V.
6. The voltmeter and automatic discharge feature of the
instruments should be regarded as additional safety features
and not a substitute for normal safe working practice.
7. If any part of the instrument is damaged, it should not be used,
but returned to the manufacturer or an approved service
organization for repair.Circuit connections and the instrument terminals
may become hazardous when connected to
Capacitive loads.
Do not forget to release a locked Test button and
discharge any capacitance before touching the item
under test or disconnecting the test leads.
