Safety Warnings - Megger Ducter DLRO-10 Guia Del Usuario

•
These safety warnings must be read and understood before the instrument is used.
•
Whenever possible, circuits should be de-energised before testing.
If it is impossible to de-energise the circuit, (e.g. high voltage batteries cannot be switched off while their connections are
tested) the user must be aware of the dangers. The instrument terminals will become live when connected to the circuit.
It is therefore recommended that a suitably insulated and rated lead set be used to provide insulation at the terminals.
•
Testing inductive circuits can be hazardous:
After testing an inductive load there will be an amount of energy stored in the inductance. This energy is released in the
form of a discharge current. Disconnecting an inductive load while current is still flowing will cause a high voltage arc,
which is a danger to both the user and the item under test.
Although the DLRO10
DISCHARGE lamp, marked 'I', which indicates that current is flowing in the C1-C2 loop. This lamp will flash at end of a
test on an inductive load while a discharge current is still flowing and will stop flashing when the current has decayed to
less than 1mA. DLRO 10X uses a message on the display to achieve this.
For testing large inductive resistances the current carrying leads should be connected securely to the item under test
before starting the test.
It is not recommended that duplex handspikes be used to carry out tests on inductive loads. If inadvertently using the DH4
handspikes on an inductive load, the L1 lamp on the handspikes will flash amber while discharge current flows, thereby
duplicating the function of the 'I' lamp on the instrument. It is important to maintain contact until the L1 light stops flashing
amber and turns green indicating the end of the test.
