Safety Warnings - Megger BTDR1500 Manuel Utilisateur

SAFETY WARNINGS

This instrument primary use is for testing telecomm cables and so it meets the safety requirements of IEC 60950 third Edition (1999-04). It also meets the safety requirements of IEC 61010
parts 1 and 2 but without a category of installation as the instrument must not be directly connected to an energised Mains Supply. The instrument is designed for used on de-energised
circuits, however, when used with telecomm cables, it may, in normal use, be subject to telecomm network voltages up to TNV-3 as defined by IEC-60950. Do not exceed the limits of this
tester. If it is to be used in situations where hazardous live voltages may be encountered then an additional blocking filter must be used to isolate the instrument.
CAUTION (Risk of electric shock)
Although this tester does not generate any hazardous voltages, circuits to which it can be connected could be dangerous due to electric shock hazard or due to arcing (initiated by short
circuit). While every effort has been made by the manufacturer to reduce the hazard, the user must assume responsibility for ensuring his, or her, own safety.
• Never connect the instrument to circuits that may be hazardous live.
• The instrument should not be used if any part of it is damaged.
• Test leads, probes and crocodile clips must be in good order, clean and with no broken or cracked insulation.
• Check that all lead connections are correct before making a test.
• Disconnect the test leads before accessing the battery compartment.
• Refer to operating instructions for further explanation and precautions.
• Safety Warnings and Precautions must be read and understood before the instrument is used. They must be observed during use.
