6SAFETY MADE SIMPLE®
DO NOT set up electrical safety testing stations and ESD (electrostatic discharge) stations in the same area. ESD protocols are designed to protect a
component or device from static discharge (not the operator from high voltage hazards). DO NOT use anti-static robes, benches or oor mats during
electrical safety testing. All of these items are used to intentionally ground the tester operator which can cause injury or death to a high voltage test
operator. Such stations are not designed for voltages above 250 VAC.
WARNING
KEEP YOUR OPERATORS SAFE WITH OUR
PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
One of the best ways to prevent injury is to ensure that your
test station is set up safely and securely.
Wood Base DUT Enclosure
99-10599-01
Our DUT Enclosure is designed to protect the operator
from electric shock during testing. Interface the
enclosure with our Remote Safety Interlock feature
to automatically disable the tester’s output when the
enclosure door is opened.
WHY ARE THESE SAFE?
Remote Trigger Footswitch
99-10433-01
Ideal for use in applications where an
operator needs to perform a test while
using test probes.
WHY IS THIS SAFE?
Insulation Mat
99-10691-01
Prevents the operator from being
grounded thereby preventing
electrical shock.
WHY IS THIS SAFE?
Test Verication Box
TVB-2
Ensures that the failure detectors of
a Slaughter electrical safety tester are
functioning properly.
