Preparations for Use
Initial instructions
• Remove instrument, power lead and pouch from the
packing box.
• Clip the test lead pouch to the lid.
• Open the lid and familiarise yourself with the layout and
position of the IEC 60320 power inlet on the left side of the
panel. An isolated USB socket and a 9 pin D-type
connector for the remote control indicator beacon are
found on the right side of the instrument. Test terminals
are located to the rear of the front panel.
• Unpack test leads and place them into the lead pouch.
• Read the product manual, especially the warnings.
• A quick reference is provided in the instrument lid.
• Keep the original packaging for re-use.
Power lead and battery charging
• If the power lead supplied is not suitable for your AC
connection, do not use an adaptor. Always use a power
lead fitted with the correct plug.
• Do not use an inadequately rated AC lead.
• If using a fused plug, ensure that it is fitted with a 3A fuse.
• Supply voltage: 90 to 265 V rms ac at 50/60 Hz.
• A green LED illuminates when line power/mains is
present.
• The battery will charge over its operating temperature
range as long as an AC source is connected, except when
a test is in progress.
• For optimum battery life, charge the battery after each use.
Full charge duration is up to 2½ hours but a first charge time
of 3 hours is advised.
• The battery must be charged between 0 °C and 40 °C
ambient temperature. If the battery detects a temperature
outside this range the battery symbol will flash.
