1 SAFETY INFORMATION REMEMBER: SAFETY IS NO ACCIDENT These instructions contain both information and warnings that are necessary for the safe operation and maintenance of this product. It is recommended that you read the instructions carefully and ensure that the contents are fully understood. Failure to understand and to comply with the warnings and instructions can result in serious injury, damage or even death.
1.2 Precautions This product has been designed with your safety in mind, but please pay attention to the following warnings and cautions before use. Warnings In order to avoid the danger of electrical shock, it is important that proper safety measures are taken when working with voltages exceeding 30V AC rms, 42V AC peak or 60V DC.
The PD690SX is a portable battery powered proving unit for the testing of contact type voltage detectors up to 690V. Both the PD440SX and the PD690SX ramp output voltage down in a sequence lasting for a duration of 10s, before reducing output voltage to zero.
3. OPERATION Caution Always make sure the precautions and limitations of the unit being tested are observed. If necessary refer to the specification of the unit being tested. Also refer to the graph of typical output voltage under various load conditions at the rear of these instructions.
During the sequence, the LEDs will indicate the actual output voltage level as affected by load, not the no load output. Refer to the graph of typical output voltage under various load conditions at the rear of these instructions. If none of the proving unit LED’s illuminate when performing the above tests check the condition of the proving unit batteries and replace them if required (see section 4.1).

An initial measurement can be taken soon after calibration and the results recorded. Further checks can be made periodically, e.g. every month, and the results also recorded on the sheet. Further copies of the sheet can be downloaded from the Martindale Electric Co Ltd website.
4.3 Repair and Service There are no user serviceable parts in this unit other than those that may be described in section 4. Return to Martindale Electric if faulty. Our service department will quote promptly to repair any fault that occurs outside the guarantee period.
