Position the tester so the operator does not have to reach over the product under test to activate or adjust
the tester. If the product or component being tested is small, it may be possible to construct guards or an
enclosure, made of a non-conducting material such as clear acrylic, such that the item being tested is within
the guards or enclosure during the test, and fit them with switches so that the tester will not operate unless
the guards are in place or the enclosure closed. The outlet which is used to provide power to the tester should
be easily accessible.
Keep the area clean and uncluttered. All test equipment and test leads not absolutely necessary for the test
should be removed from the test bench and put away. It should be clear to both the operator and to any
observers which product is being tested, and which ones are waiting to be tested or have already been tested.
If the tester is used in a matter not specified by Slaughter Company, Inc. the protection provided by the tester
may be impaired.
Do not perform Hipot tests in a combustible atmosphere or in any area where combustible materials are
present.
KEY SAFETY POINTS TO REMEMBER:
Keep unqualified and unauthorized personnel away from the test area.
Arrange the test station in a safe and orderly manner.
Never touch the product or connections during a test.
In case of any problem, turn off the high voltage first.
Properly discharge any item tested with DC before touching connections.
