PV200/210 Operating Instructions
- 5 -
Where safe operation of the PV200/210 is no longer possible it should be immediately
shut down and secured to prevent accidental operation.
It must be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible:
• if the instrument or leads show visible signs of damage or
• the instrument does not function or
• after long periods of storage under adverse environmental conditions.
The PV200/210 is not intended for continuous use. When the PV200/210 is not
being used disconnect it from the system under test.
If the PV200/210 is used in a manner not specified by this document then the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not open unit, no user serviceable parts.
The PV test terminals maximum rating: 1000V DC open circuit voltage, 15A
short circuit current, 10kW DC power. Do not exceed this rating. The DC
supply must be isolated from earth/ground during testing.
High voltages are present at the probe tips of the PV200/210 during insulation
resistance measurement. Always hold test probes behind the hand guards.
Check the PV200/210 and all associated cables and leads before operating the
equipment. Do not use if there are signs of damage.
Only use the test leads supplied with the PV200/210.
Do not touch any exposed metal parts of the solar PV installation during
testing.
Always ensure that the circuit under test is electrically isolated from the mains
supply before attempting an earth resistance or insulation resistance
measurement.
Do not leave the PV200/210 permanently connected to a PV installation.
Always disconnect all test leads immediately after use.
Do not attempt to turn off the PV200/210 while tests are active.
If the PV200/210 is being used to determine the presence or absence of
hazardous voltages, always prove the operation of voltage measurement
function before and after use by means of a known voltage source or proving
unit.
