Safety Precautions And Procedures; Preliminary Instructions - HT SOLAR I-Ww User Manual

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES

The word "instrument" in this manual means generically both the models I-V400w, I-V500w,
SOLAR I-Vw or SOLAR I-Ve e SOLAR I-Ve except notation specifically indicated. This
instrument has been designed in compliance with directives IEC/EN61010-1 regarding
electronic measuring instruments. Before and while measuring, carefully follow the
instructions below:
 Do not perform voltage or current measurements in humid environments
 Do not perform measurements near explosive gas or material and fuels or in dusty
environments
 Avoid contact with the circuit tested if no measurement is being performed
 Avoid contact with exposed metal parts, test terminals not in use, circuits, etc.
 Do not perform any measurement if instrument anomalies are detected, such as
deformations, breaks, leakage of substances, no display reading, etc.
 Only use original HT accessories
In this manual, following symbols are used:
CAUTION: Follow the instructions given in this manual; improper use may
damage the instrument, its components or create dangerous situations for the
operator
High voltage: risk of electrical shock
Double insulation
DC voltage or current
AC voltage or current
Ground reference

1.1. PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS

 This instrument has been designed for use in the environmental conditions specified in
§ 10.5. Do not use in different environmental conditions.
 The instrument may be used for measuring of VOLTAGE and CURRENT in CAT II
1000V DC or CAT III 300V to ground, maximum voltage 1000V between inputs (I-
V400w and SOLAR I-Vw or SOLAR I-Ve) or 1500V (I-V500w and SOLAR I-Ve) Do not
use on systems exceeding the limit values specified in § 10.1 and § 10.2
 We recommend to follow the ordinary safety rules aimed at: your protection against
dangerous currents, the instrument's protection against improper use.
 Only the accessories provided with the instrument guarantee compliance with safety
standards. They must be in good conditions and must be replaced, if necessary, with
identical models.
 Check that batteries are correctly inserted.
 Before connecting the test cables to the circuit being tested, check that the desired
function has been selected.
