SAFETY WARNINGS
■
Safety Warnings
and
Precautions
must be read and understood before
the instrument is used. They
must
be observed during use.
■
The circuit under test must be switched off, de-energised and
isolated before
test connections are made when carrying out insulation
and continuity tests.
■
Continuity of protective conductors and earthed equipotential bonding of
new or modified installations
must
be verified
before
carrying out an
earth fault loop impedance test, or RCD test.
■
Circuit connections and exposed metalwork of an installation or
equipment under test
must not
be touched.
■
The live circuit warning and Automatic discharge are additional safety
features and
should not
be regarded as a substitute for normal safe
working practices.
■
Do not move
the rotary switch positions while a test is in progress.
■
The LCD ‘neon’ voltage indicators cannot reveal a Neutral - Earth reversal.
They
cannot
be relied upon to identify circuit correctness and are for
guidance only.
■
After insulation tests, capacitive circuits must be allowed to discharge
before
disconnecting test leads.
■
The instrument should
not
be used if any part of it is damaged.
■
Test leads, probes and crocodile clips
must
be in good order, clean and
with no broken or cracked insulation.
■
Ensure that hands remain behind guards of probes/clips when testing.
■
U.K. Safety Authorities recommend the use of fused test leads when
measuring voltage on high energy systems.
■
Replacement fuses
must
be of the correct type and rating. Failure to fit
the correctly rated fuse will result in damage to the instrument in the
event of an overload.
