Operating Precautions
Background
The GPT-9600 Series are high voltage
instruments that output dangerous voltages.
The following section describes precautions and
procedures that must be followed to ensure that
the testers are operated in a safe manner.

WARNING
The GPT-96XX generates voltages of up to 5kVAC
or 6kVDC. Follow all safety precautions, warnings
and directions given in the following section when
using the instrument.

1. Never touch the safety tester, lead wires,
terminals, probes and other connected
equipment when the tester is testing.

2. Do not turn the safety tester on and off quickly
or repeatedly. When turning the power off,
please allow a few moments before turning the
power back on. This will allow the protection
circuits to properly initialize.

4. Do not short the HIGH VOLTAGE terminal
with ground. Doing so could charge the chassis
to dangerously high voltages.
