Safety Rules
The Hi-Prox has been designed with safety in mind.
However, no design can completely protect against
incorrect use.
Electrical circuits are dangerous and lethal through
lack of caution or poor safety practice. The following
rules should reduce the danger:
Read the user manual carefully and completely before
using the tester. Fully understand the instructions before
using this product. Follow the instructions for every test.
Take all the necessary precautions. Do not exceed the
limits of this instrument.
The Hi-Prox must never be in physical contact
with any conductor higher than 1kV.This is a proximity
detector, not a detector which works by contact.
Always use a fiber glass rod or any authorized stick.
A high voltage test is carried out with the tester attached to
an operating stick, sometimes called "links stick".
Verify the rotary switch setting before measuring. Make
sure it is on the correct setting for your application.
Always check that the Hi-Prox is working before
and after the test.
Do not touch any exposed wiring, connections, or other
"live" parts of an electrical circuit.
This instrument should only be used by a competent,
suitably trained person who understands this test
procedure fully. Personnel working with high voltage
should be trained regularly.
