    SAFETY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS GENERAL: This product and its related documentation must be reviewed for familiarization with safety markings and instructions before operation. This product is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with a protective earth terminal). Before applying power verify that the instrument is set to the correct line voltage (115 or 230) and the correct fuse is installed.
  • Page 7 The instrument and its power cord, test leads, and accessories must be returned at least once a year to an Associated Research authorized service center for calibration and inspection of safety related components. Associated Research will not be held liable for injuries suffered if the instrument is not returned for its annual safety check and maintained properly.
  • Page 8 SAFETY Power Ground Bond Test Equipment must be connected to a good ground. Be certain that the power wiring to the test bench is properly polarized and that the proper low resistance bonding to ground is in place. Power to the test station should be arranged so that it can be shut off by one prominently marked switch located at the entrance to the test area.

  • Page 10 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The importance of testing... User safety In an era of soaring liability costs, original manufacturers of electrical and electronic products must make sure every item is as safe as possible. All products must be designed and built to prevent electric shock, even when users abuse the equipment or by-pass built in safety features.
  • Page 11 INTRODUCTION However, specific products may be tested at much higher voltages than 2X operating voltages + 1,000 volts. For example, a product designed to operate in the range between 100 to 240 volts can be tested between 1,000 to 4,000 volts or higher. Most "double insulated"...
