2. Safety Please read and understand the following safety-related information before using the Easy-Touch Pro test system. Cirris, Inc. is not liable for injuries suffered if the tester is not properly maintained or if safety guidelines are not followed. Symbols Indicates that high voltage is produced by the tester and, therefore, there is a risk of electric shock. -
Page 8: Medical Warning
Medical Warning Individuals using a cardiac pacemaker, an insulin pump, or any other electronically-controlled medical device should NOT perform high voltage testing. High Voltage Safety The restricted high voltage energy and charge limits of the Easy-Touch Pro does not mean that performing high voltage (hipot) testing using the tester is entirely without risk as operators can still receive a startling, or even painful, shock. -
Page 9: High Voltage Interlock
High Voltage Interlock 2 .4 .3 With the optional Digital I/O capability, the Easy-Touch Pro supports the use of external safety devices such as safety buttons, enclosures, light curtains, or other, similar hardware using a High Voltage Interlock. See the topic Digital I/O Examples in the Easy-Wire Help for additional information. -
Page 10: No User-Serviceable Parts
No User-Serviceable Parts The tester includes no user-serviceable parts. Attempting repairs or altering the tester in any way will void the warranty and may lead to an unsafe condition.

- Page 16 12. Re-attach the cover plate. 13. If you have multiple add-on scanners, consider writing the adapter positions on each add-on chassis with a per- manent marker. For example the first add-on scanner would be marked J5, J6, J7 and J8. Note: If the position of the add-on scanners may be changed in the future, removable stickers may be a better alternative than permanent markings.
