5.0 Carrying out of Measurement

5.1 Preparation and Safety Measures

UNITEST High Voltage Tester supplies high
voltages of extreme power. In accordance with
DIN VDE 0104, the following precautions have
to be met prior to testing:
• Blocking the dangerous area
• Place danger notice (Attention! High Voltage
Mortal Danger)
• Install warning lamps (red,green) to be easily
visible
• Install EMERGENCY-OFF switch into the mains
lead outside the dangerous area
• Electrical trained persons may only test under
supervision of specialist staff and have to be
trained regularly

operation. Only hold one test probe in each hand.
Fixed single-pole connection of UUT and working
with only one test probe or holding both test
probes in one hand is not admissible.
• Do not touch UUT during testing. If required the
operator must be protected against unawared
UUT contact (e.g. covering with insulation ma-
terial)
Carrying out of Measurement
After having carried out all respective safety
measures, the testing procedures may be start-
ed.
According to or European Standard EN 60204 ma-
chines, switchboard plants, and switch cabinets are
to be verified for electrical safety prior to commis-
sioning or after modification, and in regular time in-
tervals. Simultaneously, a test protocol is estab-
lished confirming the operator, that the electrical
machine equipment complies with the prescrip-
tions of accident prevention regulations.
