Safety warnings

In the tests carried out using this megohmmeter there are dangerous voltages involved, and so the operator has to be a
properly trained person.
Before connecting the equipment, it has to be verified that the circuit to be submitted to the test is free of voltage. None of
the circuit points can be touched during a test.
Capacitive loads need to be under special care as they are charged at high voltages during the test without any current
limiting device capable to protect the operator in case of accidental contact. On completion of a test these potentials are
discharged slowly. During this decaying time the equipment High Voltage indicator is lighted on. The operator has to pay
attention to this indication, waiting for 15 second after the LED is switched-off in order to safely short-circuit the terminals
with a shorting link before disconnecting the test leads.
When using this equipment, safety regulations applicable to jobs carried out under voltage have to be appropriately followed.
