    Safety Techniques The high voltage circuit of the MegaPulse Defib-5PF-001 can be shut off at any time by turning OFF the rear power switch. Always press TRIGGER to discharge the tester before turning OFF. The MegaPulse tester is provided with a digital VOLTAGE ADJUST knob on the front panel.
  • Page 8 Pressing the POLARITY switch on the front panel can change the polarity of the output waveform. The polarity is Normal when the NOR indicator is lit. In this case, the high voltage will appear on the OUTPUT as a positive pulse relative to the RETURN jack. When the polarity switch is in the Reverse position (REV indicator is lit), the high voltage will appear on the OUTPUT as a negative pulse relative to the RETURN jack.
