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.  

Do not turn the power off when a test is 
running, unless in an emergency. 

 

3.  Only use those test leads supplied with the 

instrument. Leads with inappropriate gauges 
can be dangerous to both the operator and the 
instrument.  

 

4.  Do not short the HIGH VOLTAGE terminal 

with ground. Doing so could charge the chassis 
to dangerously high voltages. 

 

5.  Ensure the earth ground of the line voltage is 

properly grounded.
