1. SAFE TESTING
Electricity is dangerous and can cause injury and death. Always treat it with the
greatest of respect and care. If you are not quite sure how to proceed, stop and
take advice from a qualified person.
1 ．This instrument must only be used by a competent and trained person and
operated in strict accordance with the instructions. KYORITSU will not
accept liability for any damage or injury caused by misuse or non-compliance
with the instructions or with the safety procedures.
2 ．It is essential to read and to understand the safety rules contained in the
instructions. They must always be observed when using the instrument.
3 ．This instrument is intended only for single phase operation at 230V AC
+10%、-15% phase to earth or phase to neutral operation, and then only for
loop, prospective short circuit current (PSC) and RCD testing. For use in the
continuity testing and insulation testing modes this instrument must be
used ONLY on circuits which are de-energised.
4 ．When conducting tests do not touch any exposed metalwork associated with
the installation. Such metalwork may become live for the duration of the test.
5 ．Never open the instrument case (except for fuse and battery replacement
and in this case disconnect all leads first) because dangerous voltages are
present. Only fully trained and competent electrical engineers should open
the case. If a fault develops, return the instrument to your distributor for
inspection and repair.
6 ．If the overheat symbol appears in the display ( ) disconnect the instrument
from the mains supply and allow to cool down.
7 ．For loop impedance tests to prevent unwanted tripping during loop testing all
residual current devices （RCD's）must be taken out of the circuit and
temporarily replaced with a suitably rated MCB unit. The RCD must be
replaced after the loop test is completed.
8 ．If abnormal conditions of any sort are noted (such as a faulty display,
unexpected readings, broken case, cracked test leads, etc) do not use the
tester and return it to your distributor for repair.
9 ．For safety reasons only use accessories (test leads, probes, fuses, cases,
etc) designed to be used with this instrument and recommended by
KYORITSU. The use of other accessories is prohibited as they are unlikely to
have the correct safety features.
10 ．When testing, always be sure to keep your fingers behind the safety
