OPERATING THE TESTER
The test probe and antennas emit a high frequency voltage (approximately
3 kV) to ionize the light fixtures in order to diagnose a failure.
W Precautions:
• To avoid electric shock, do not touch ANY part of antenna during lamp
or voltage tests. Touching antenna during these tests affects tester
sensitivity.
• When LAMP TEST button is pressed, be alert. Do not touch test probe
or antenna. Discharge can cause electric shock or personal injury.
• Do not attempt to overreach. Make sure you have proper footing and
balance at all times.
