clauses of the following standard: BS EN 61243-2:1998
BS EN 61243-3:1999
BS EN 61326:1998
Electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory user-EMC Requirements
Performance:
The instrument operates within specification when used under the conditions in
the above standards EMC and Safety Standards.
The product identified above conforms to the requirements of Council Directive 89/336/EEC and 73/23 EEC.
Seaward Electronic Ltd is registered under BS EN ISO9001:2000 Certificate No: Q05356.
Important Information
These operating instructions are intended for the use of adequately trained personnel.
Before use, ensure that the AGL-5 tester is clean and dry, visually inspect all parts. Any damage must be rectified prior to use.
Never hold an AGL-5 Tester between the hand- guard and the contact electrode.
Always prove the AGL-5 Tester before AND after use.
- Holding the AGL-5 tester by the handles, behind the handguards, connect the instrument to a Seaward PH3-LLT proving unit and verify that the LED indicators are illuminated.
- Holding the AGL-5 tester by the handles, behind the handguards, place the contact electrodes in contact with the circuit under test.
- If the LED indicators are illuminated there is a voltage greater than the threshold voltage present at the probe tips.
- If the LED indicators do not illuminate any voltage present at the probe tips is less than the threshold voltage.
- Repeat step 1 above to verify that the instrument is still operational.
Proving
- Connect the one probe to the BLACK terminal.
- Connect the other probe to the RED terminal.
- Press the probe down onto the RED terminal as shown below to operate the internal micro-switch.
- Confirm that the neon illuminates indicating the test voltage is active.
- Confirm that the LED indicators in the AGL-5 illuminate.
- Disconnect both probes from the proving unit
