WARNING: The ATi must be connected to a safety
ground (earth). Only insert the power lead into a
socket with a protective ground contact.
Ensure that the power lead is in good condition and
free from damage before use.
Replace the fuse only with the same type and rating as indicated
on the rear of the ATi.
Refer servicing only to qualified personnel who understand the
danger of shock hazards.
WARNING: The ATi wound component tester can generate
voltages of up to 500V during insulation resistance testing.
Although the available energy of the source has been
limited in accordance with EN61010-1 and can be
considered 'safe', care should be taken to avoid accidental
or unexpected electrical shocks.
•
Ensure operators are aware of the potential shock hazard.
•
Ensure operators are trained to avoid making contact with
the part being tested or any exposed parts of the fixture
during an IR test.
•
Construct safe fixtures using the guidelines given in the
fixturing section of this manual.
•
Beware of testing parts with high turns ratios such that a
small applied test signal can generate an unsafe high
voltage.
•
Beware of energy stored with the capacitance or inductance
of the part being tested when handling the part after test.
