1.1.1 Safety warnings

In order to reach high level of operator safety while carrying out various measurements using
the EurotestXC instrument, as well as to keep the test equipment undamaged, it is necessary to
consider the following general warnings:

Read this Instruction manual carefully, otherwise the use of the instrument may
be dangerous for the operator, the instrument or for the equipment under test!

Consider warning markings on the instrument (see next chapter for more
information).

If the test equipment is used in a manner not specified in this Instruction manual,
the protection provided by the equipment could be impaired!

Do not use the instrument or any of the accessories if any damage is noticed!

Regularly check the instrument and accessories for correct functioning to avoid
hazard that could occur from misleading results.

Consider all generally known precautions in order to avoid risk of electric shock
while dealing with hazardous voltages!

Always check for the presence of dangerous voltage on PE test terminal of
installation by touching the TEST key on the instrument or by any other method
before starting single test and Auto Sequence® measurements. Make sure that
the TEST key is grounded thorough human body resistance without any insulated
material between (gloves, shoes, insulated floors, pens,...). PE test could
otherwise be impaired and results of a single test or Auto Sequence® can
mislead. Even detected dangerous voltage on PE test terminal cannot prevent
running of a single test or Auto Sequence®. All such behaviour is regarded as
misuse. Operator of the instrument must stop the activity immediately and
eliminate the fault/connection problem before proceeding with any activity!

Use only standard or optional test accessories supplied by your distributor!

In case a fuse has blown follow the instructions in this manual in order to replace
it! Use only fuses that are specified!

Service, calibration or adjustment of instruments and accessories is only allowed
to be carried out by a competent authorized person!

Do not use the instrument in AC supply systems with voltages higher than 550
Va.c.

Consider that protection category of some accessories is lower than of the
instrument. Test tips and Tip commander have removable caps. If they are
removed the protection falls to CAT II. Check markings on accessories!
