Page 8: Intended Use
2 INTENDED USE 2.1 Operation shall be performed by electrotechnical personnel trained and certified for operation in electrical installations and studied this Operation Manual. During operation with the instrument, observe the requirements of "Occupational safety rules during operation of electrical installations" and use the means of protection against electric shock as per "Instruction on use and testing of protection means used in electrical installations". - Page 9 Note. Storage battery is charged at ambient air temperature of plus 10 to plus 30 ºС. Failure to comply with this rule may reduce the storage battery life. To charge the storage battery, connect the output plug of power unit from the delivery set to the instrument jack socket.
- Page 10 Option “GENERAL SETTINGS” allows to changes the contrast level of the display, to select the interface language and to switch on/off the audio warnings. Example of setting is given in Figure 2.1. Figure 2.1 – Menu. Instrument settings Option “SET OF MODES” allows to remove or add to the set of available test types: fixed test voltages (50, 100, 250, 500, 1000 and 2500 V), measurement of continuity (Rcont), measurement of varistor voltage (Uvar), measurement of spark-gap breakdown voltage (Udis), as well as to change the values of user test voltages (Us1, Us2).
- Page 11 Example of user test voltages Us1 and Us2 change is given in Figure 2.2. Figure 2.2 – Menu. Modes Voltages Us1 and Us2 can be also added to the list or removed from it at selection of “Add” or “Delete” options respectively. Option “TEST SETTINGS”...
