AC Voltage Checks

The Calibrator can deliver a lethal electric shock.
To avoid electric shock when performing the following
calibration procedures:
Never touch any lead or terminal unless you are absolutely
certain that no dangerous voltage is present.
Make sure that signal leads are in a safe condition before you
handle them in any way.
