Introduction
The PRV240 Proving Unit (the Product) is an
electronic voltage source. This Product provides
a safe, risk free, and easy method to verify proper
operation of a test tool. Use it to verify either an
energized source or a de-energized source. Also
use it in cases where no known voltage source is
available to verify a test tool.
The Product does not require personal protective
equipment (PPE) unless your environment
requires minimal PPE such as a hard hat, safety
glasses, or ear plugs.
