Safety The DB-1 demonstration board has been designed for the purpose of simulation of measurements, whose results determine the safety conditions of a virtual installation. Therefore, in order to guarantee ap- propriate operation and correctness of the obtained results, the following recommendations must be fol- lowed: ...
Application The DB-1 demonstration board is an indispensable element of training courses regarding reali- sation of electric measurements. It may be applied in schools, distribution centres of meters used in the power industry as well as in training centres. The board may be used for the purpose of simulation of the following measurements: ...

Before the measurements are performed, make sure the measured object is disconnected from the power supply network. This is why the meters manufactured by SONEL S.A. are equipped with a voltmeter.
Solely the following fuse elements are approved for the demonstration board: F4A 250 V or T3,15 250 V. In the case fuse elements which are not specified in the present manual are used, there is a risk of damage to the device and a serious danger for the user. DB-1 – USER MANUAL...
