SETTING UP THE EQUIPMENT
The setup of this equipment has been minimized by careful consideration for the operator during design. The
CDS Series’ one-piece FIELD PORTABLE construction makes this the preferred unit for fault locating.
1.
Select a location
for the unit that will allow easy viewing of the meters at a safe distance
from the test cable.
Caution!!
Before making any cable connections, ensure that the cable being
tested has been properly identified, de-energized, and grounded!
2.
Be sure that all the controls are off
,
in their de-energized or fully counterclockwise
position.
3.
Unspool the cables onto the ground.
Separate the input line cord,
ground lead and
output cables from each other
.
4.
Secure the ground test lead to the cabinet.
The
Ground
stud on the rear panel of the
unit must be used for that purpose. A 4 AWG braided copper lead has been provided for the
ground connection. Proper grounds are essential when fault locating with a capacitor
discharge device. Connect the ground lead cable clamp to the station ground of the cable
being tested.
