Safe Application of Test Equipment
Any person operating electrical test equipment should be 18 years or over and
should have had adequate training in the use of the particular piece of
equipment. The degree of training should be appropriate for the competence
and experience of the operator.
Position the test equipment in a clearly defined test area with access limited
to the operator only. Construct all test benches of insulated material,
preferably wood. Use steel benches covered in insulating material under
certain circumstances only.
The item under test must be on an insulated surface (where possible, as with
large or unwieldy items this may not be possible).
This instrument incorporates an ac Flash trip device that defaults to 5mA. The
trip mechanism operates within 10 milliseconds to safeguard the operator and
make the flash test non-lethal and non-destructive.
Maintenance
Seaward Electronic Ltd supplies a guarantee against defective material and
faulty manufacture for a twelve month period from the date of delivery.
Prior to despatch the equipment undergoes careful inspection and
comprehensive testing. Report any defect discovered with the equipment in
respect of materials or workmanship within the guarantee period. We
undertake to put right the defect at our expense subject to our standard
conditions of sale.
Our responsibility is limited, in all cases, to the cost of making good the defect
in the equipment. This does not apply to defects caused by abnormal
conditions of working, accident, misuse, neglect or wear and tear.
The item under test must not be touched whilst the flash tests
are applied.
Do not touch or come into contact with the instrument case
or any other Earthed metalwork (for example conduit or metal
trunking, etc.) whilst applying the safety tests. The operator
should also be on an insulated surface such as British
Standard approved rubber matting or nail free duckboard.
