Seaward G2000 - Manual (Page 13)

General Guidance Notes
Do not remove or open the instrument cover - When connected to the mains supply, internal terminals of the
equipment will be live and the opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose live parts and create a risk
of electrical shock. The user must disconnect the equipment from ALL voltage sources before any adjustment,
replacement, maintenance or repair.
Fuse Ratings – For replacement purposes, the rated current and type of any internal, panel mounted or plugtop
fuses, where fitted, must be as specified. Typically these will be of the Mains Quick Blow Type F style. The user
must not use makeshift fuses or attempt to short-circuit fuse holders.
SAFE APPLICATION OF TEST EQUIPMENT

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 and should be documented.
Site the test equipment in a clearly defined test area, with access limited to the operator only. Where possible
power outlet sockets should be of plastic construction and the test area should be free of steel conduit, trunking
and such like. Construct test benches of insulated material, preferably wood. The operator must stand on an
insulated, Earth free, surface such as British Standard approved rubber matting or nail-free duckboard. Provision
should also be made to allow the test item to be placed on an insulated surface.
DO NOT TOUCH OR CONTACT THE TEST ITEM WHILST OPERATING THE TEST EQUIPMENT.
KEEP THE TEST AREA CLEAN AND TIDY
