Safety & Warnings
Normal use of test equipment exposes users to electrical shock dangers, especially when testing where exposed voltage is present. A shock causing 10 milliamps of current through the heart can stop most human heartbeats, and voltages as low as 35 volts can be lethal. Higher voltages pose even greater threats. To reduce risks, follow these precautions:
– Avoid exposing high voltage unnecessarily. Remove housings and covers only when necessary, turn off equipment while making test connections, and discharge high voltage capacitors after removing power.
– Familiarize yourself with the equipment and its high voltage points, remembering that high voltage may appear unexpectedly in defective equipment.
– Use insulated floor material and work surfaces, ensuring they are not damp or wet.
– Use the “one hand in the pocket” technique when handling an instrument probe to avoid contact with metal objects that could provide a ground return path.
– Remember that ac line voltage is usually present on some power input circuits whenever equipment is connected to an ac outlet, even if turned off.
– Treat all two-wire ac equipment as “hot chassis” unless confirmed otherwise, and always use an isolation transformer when servicing such equipment.
– For equipment with a 3-wire ac power plug, use only a 3-wire outlet to maintain safety.
– B&K Precision products are not authorized for use in applications involving direct contact with the human body or as critical components in life support devices.
– Never work alone; someone should be nearby to provide aid if necessary. Training in CPR and first aid is highly recommended.
