PVA-1500xx Precautions
Using Test Leads and Clips
Use only the test leads and clips specifically provided by Solmetric for use with the PVA-
1500xx. These leads and clips are specially rated for use at voltages up to 1500V and
30A DC. The test leads are labeled as shown in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1. Test leads and clips rated for use with the PVA-1500xx
Some of the test leads provided with early shipments of PVA-1500S lacked the special
labeling shown in Figure 1, or the labels were of an earlier design. However, the
electrical construction and capabilities of those earlier leads is the same as the leads
pictured in Figure 1 so it is ok to continue using them.
WARNING Operating temperature and humidity of the test leads and clips are more narrowly
specified than the PVA-1500xx I-V Measurement Units. For details see PVA-1500xx
Test Lead and Clip Specifications in this Guide.
WARNING Do not use the PVA-1500xx series test leads and clips to measure mains circuits
(circuits energized by electricity from a utility or other type of power station).
WARNING Working with PV circuits presents potentially fatal shock hazard. Read the entire
PVA-1500xx Precautions section of this Guide before using the test leads.
Always inspect the test leads and clips prior to each use. If any damage or looseness of
connectors is observed, do not use them - replace the test leads and clips. Contact
Support@Solmetric.com for assistance.
