Safety Considerations

Read the information below before using this tester. Model U1452A appears in all

illustrations.

WARNING

• Do not use the tester if it is damaged. Before you use the tester, inspect the case.

Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation

surrounding the connectors.

• Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the test

leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before you use the tester.

• Do not operate the tester around explosive gas, vapor, or wet environments.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage (as marked on the tester) between

terminals, or between terminal and earth ground.

• Before use, verify the tester's operation by measuring a known voltage.

• When servicing the tester, use only the specified replacement parts.

• Use caution when working above 60 VDC, 30 VAC RMS, or 42.4 V peak. Such

voltages pose a shock hazard.

• When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.

• Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test lead. When you

disconnect the leads, disconnect the live test lead first.

• Remove the test leads from the tester before you open the battery cover.

• Do not operate the tester with the battery cover or portions of the cover removed

or loosened.

• To avoid false readings, which may lead to possible electric shock or personal

injury, replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator appears and

flashes.

• Ensure that you do not perform insulation resistance tests in distribution systems

with voltages higher than 600 V.

• For insulation resistance tests, ensure that you select a suitable test voltage for

the equipment to be tested.

U1452A/U1452AT/U1451A User’s Guide V

CAUTION

•Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing

resistance, continuity, or capacitance.

•Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements.

•This device is for use at altitudes of up to 2,000 m.

•Always use the specified battery type. The power for the tester is supplied with four

1.5 V AA batteries. Observe the correct polarity markings before you insert the

batteries to ensure proper insertion of the batteries in the tester.
