Safety Warnings - Megger BMM2500 Guide De L'utilisateur

Safety Warnings and Precautions must be read and understood before the instrument is used.
They must be observed during use.
The circuit under test must be de-energized and isolated before connections are made except for
voltage measurement.
Circuit connections must not be touched during a test.
After insulation tests, capacitive circuits must be allowed to discharge before disconnecting the
test leads.
The Live Circuit Warning and Automatic Discharge are additional safety features and should not
be regarded as a substitute for normal safe working practice.
Replacement fuses must be of the correct type and rating. Failure to fit the correctly rated fuse
will result in damage to the instrument in the event of an overload.
Test leads, including crocodile clips, must be in good order, clean and have no broken or
cracked insulation.
Ensure that hands remain behind guards of probes/clips when testing.
U.K. Safety Authorities recommend the use of fused test leads when measuring voltage on high
energy systems.
