Workplace Precautions
Background
The GPT-9000 is a high voltage instrument that
outputs dangerous voltages. The following
section describes precautions and procedures
that must be followed to ensure a safe work
environment.
WARNING
The GPT-9000 generates voltages in excess of
5kVAC or 6kVDC. Follow all safety precautions,
warnings and directions given in the following
section when using the GPT-9000.
1. Only technically qualified personnel should be
allowed to operate the safety tester.
2. The operating workplace must be fully isolated,
especially when the instrument is in operation.
The instrument should be clearly labeled with
appropriate warning signage.
3. The operator should not wear any conductive
materials, jewelry, badges, or other items, such
wrist watches.
4. The operator should wear insulation gloves for
high voltage protection.
5. Ensure the earth ground of the line voltage is
properly grounded.
6. Ensure any devices that are adversely affected
by magnetic fields are not placed near the
tester.
