Iso-Tech IIT-2301 Manuel D'instructions page 3

1.3 Never open the instrument case except for battery or fuse
replacement. Disconnect all test leads from the circuit and
unplug them from the instrument before opening the case.
1.4 Examine the instrument and test leads before use for
any sign of abnormality, damage or contamination. If any
abnormal conditions exist (i.e. broken test leads, cracked
insulation or case, moisture contamination, display faults
or inconsistent readings etc.) do not use the instrument,
but rectify the fault first. Replace defective leads only
with the correct types, or return the instrument for repair.
Contact RS Components for further advice; the address is
given at the end of these instructions.
1.5 Replace the protective fuse inside the instrument only with
the specified type or equivalent (0.5A/600V) fast acting,
high breaking capacity ceramic type to IEC127.
1.6 Voltages above 50 Volts are considered hazardous as they
pose a shock hazard. Wear suitable Personal Protective
Equipment if working in the presence of un-insulated
conductors carrying voltages greater than 50 Volts.
1.7 Avoid working alone, so assistance may be summoned if
required.
1.8 If during testing there is a momentary degradation
of readings or abnormal results, this may be due to
excessive transients or discharges on adjacent circuits
in the local area. If this is suspected, repeat the test to
verify the reading. If in doubt, contact RS Components for
further advice.
TEST EQUIPMENT RISK ASSESSMENT
Users of this equipment and/or their employers are reminded
that Health and Safety Legislation requires them to carry out a
valid risk assessments of all electrical work, so as to identify
potential sources of electrical danger and risk of electrical
injury such as from inadvertent short circuits. Where the
assessments show that the risk is significant then the use of
fused test leads constructed in accordance with HSE guidance
note GS38 "Electrical Test Equipment for use by Electricians"
should be used.
