Death or severe injury caused by high voltage possible
The outputs of the COMPANO 100 are controlled by the software running in the device.
Note that just turning off the outputs in the controlling software is not sufficiently safe.
► Do not work on connected touchable test objects, connections or teminals while the
COMPANO 100 is active (Start/stop pressed) .
► Always make sure that the Emergency stop button is pressed, the test set is
secured against reactivation, and all parts in the working area are powerless before
you work on touchable test objects, connections or terminals (→ Wiring and Safe
Connection on page 9).
The COMPANO 100 test set is supplied with flexible test lead adapters
(2 x black, 2 x red) that have an angled connector at one end, and a
retractable sleeve at the other end.
Never directly insert one of the retractable sleeves into a
COMPANO 100 socket at the front of the test set. This does not
comply with the designated purpose of these leads and is contrary to
the safety regulations.
