Proving unit

Before using the SP 200 the batteries must be installed as described in
section 5 below.
The SP 200 Proving Unit provides a safe and reliable means of checking the
correct functioning of Multimeters and two pole Voltage Indicators (VIs)
before and after use.
The SP 200 will also test two pole VIs that use a pigmy lamp to indicate that
voltage is present.
The SP 200 has a unique and logical safety function – the test voltage
generated is at 50Hz to synthesise a genuine test at AC mains supply
frequency – so always read using the AC range of your Tester or
Multimeter.
Your SP 200 has several other advanced features including a
magnetic back so it is worth reading these instructions to familiarise
yourself with the operation of the unit.
How To Use
1 Prove your VI is working by placing a probe in each hole. Apply gentle
downward pressure on the left hand probe – this will activate a switch – the
Power LED will illuminate and the SP 200 will launch into Auto Prove Mode.
2 The Proving voltage LEDs will automatically ramp up to 690V and then
slowly ramp back down 690V400V230V100V
50VOFF (to re-prove slightly lift the left-hand probe and re-apply the
downward pressure).
The advantages of the Auto Prove function are:
a) individual voltages are applied at five key voltage test points
b) significant battery savings as power is automatically switched
off when the Proving Test is completed.

3 Having established that the VI is working correctly carry out the
testing required – if in doubt at any time use the Proving Unit to
re-prove the correct functioning of the VI.
4 Having completed your test session always re-prove the VI used
to ensure that the VI is still functioning correctly.
Warning – Risk of Electric Shock
The Proving Unit generates up to 690V so use caution and only
operate in accordance with these instructions exercising due
competence at all times.
Before use check the unit is free from moisture, grease and dust.
If the unit requires cleaning use a soft dry cloth only.
Do not use if there is any damage to the Proving Unit or the VI
under test.
5 The only user replaceable parts are the ba eries + 6 × AA
alkaline required. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
The batteries are accessed by removing the two screws at the
rear of the cabinet – before removing the screws disconnect any
testers from the Proving Unit.
Install 6 × AA alkaline batteries observing the correct polarity as
indicated in the battery compartment. For maximum life use only
good quality batteries.
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not incinerate old batteries as they may explode.
Do not dispose of old ba eries in regular waste + follow local
waste management instructions regarding disposal of batteries.
Do remove the batteries before final disposal of this product.
Do take precautions such as using disposable gloves if any
ba eries are leaking + ba ery electrolyte is corrosive + avoid
contact with skin or eyes.
