6 HIGH VOLTAGE PROBE HANDLE (continued)
6.1 CONNECTING A HIGH VOLTAGE PROBE HANDLE
The instrument must be switched off when a high voltage probe handle
is fitted or removed.
Connect the high voltage probe handle to the instrument using the
supplied connecting cable (the grey curly cable). The connecting
cable is fitted with a metal screw-type connector at each end. To fit a
connector, align the keyway, push the connector into place and then
tighten the metal collar.
If the instrument is switched on without a high
voltage handle fitted a warning message is
displayed.
6.2 HIGH VOLTAGE PROBE HANDLE SAFETY INTERLOCK
All high voltage probe handles (with the exception of the DC30S
Continuous Voltage Probe Handle, see Section 6.3 on page en-13) are
fitted with a safety interlock device.
The safety interlock is fitted inside the
black rubberised grip on the underside
of the high voltage probe handle.
When this section of the handle is held
by the hand as shown, the interlock
switch is released and the voltage to
the probe can be switched on (by
pressing the button on the handle).
If the grip is released whilst the probe is
at high voltage:
the voltage at the probe will drop to zero immediately,

the instrument will emit a high pitched beep, and

the red light on the handle will flash.
