The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service and
repair of this instrument. By purchasing this equipment, the purchaser assumes all liability for
the operation and use of this equipment. The intended use of the instrument, its design and

1.1 Operators Qualifications

Only qualified, knowledgeable persons should be permitted to or attempt to operate this test
equipment. All testing personnel should fully familiarize themselves with the correct application
and operation of this and all test equipment before operation.
The measurements should never perform by only one operator without the presence of other
personnel or supervisors. Someone else other than the main operator must be aware and easily
accessible to help in case of an emergency.

1.2 High Voltage Apparatus Accessibility During the Tests

Persons directly and indirectly engaged in the operation of this test equipment should keep
clear of all high voltage apparatus while conducting tests and measurements. A barrier band
must always use so the test object under the test is not accessible to any person during the test.
WARNING!
Never connect the instrument to an energized transformer!

1.3 Ground the Instrument

The power cord supplied with the equipment must be connected to an electrical receptacle with
an electrically grounded terminal (earthed ground). To minimize shock hazards, the ground
terminal on the instrument must be properly connected to the earth point. In many cases, the
quality of the safety ground terminal provided by the power cord does not fulfil the safety
requirements.
WARNING!
Non-grounded instruments are dangerous and may cause damage to
personnel and to the instrument.
