SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This high voltage probe must only be used by personnel who are trained, experienced, or otherwise qual-
ified to recognize hazardous situations and who are trained in the safety precautions that are necessary
to avoid possible injury when using such a device.nDo not work alone when working with high voltage
circuits. nAlways inspect the probes for cracks and frayed or broken leads before each use. nIf defects
are noted, DO NOT use the probe. nHands, shoes, floor and work bench must be dry. nAvoid making
measurements under humid, damp or other environmental conditions that might affect the safety of the
measurement situation. nIf possible, always turn the high voltage source off before connecting or dis-
connecting the probe. nThe probe body should be kept clean and free of any conductive contamination.
This instruments is EN61010-1 certified for Installation Category III. nIt is recommended for use in dis-
tribution level and fixed installations, as well as lesser installations, and not for primary supply lines,
overhead lines and cable systems.
nHigh voltages can be lethal and high voltage transients may occur at any time. nDo not touch exposed
metal pipes, outlets, fixtures, etc., which might be at ground potential. nKeep your body isolated from
ground and never touch exposed wiring, connections, test probe tips, or any live circuit conductors.
n Do not operate instrument in an explosive atmosphere (flammable gases, fumes, vapor or dust).
n Do not use this or any piece of test equipment without proper training
