Safety Warnings
2. Safety Warnings
G
Safety Warnings and Precautions must be read and understood before the instrument is
used. They must be observed during use.
THE INSTRUMENT MUST BE USED ONLY BY SUITABLY TRAINED AND COMPETENT
PERSONS.
National Health and Safety Legislation requires users of this equipment and/or their
employers to carry out valid risk assessments of all electrical work so as to identify potential
sources of electrical danger and risk of electrical injury, such as inadvertent short circuits, so
that safe working procedures can be followed.
This instrument is internally protected against electrical damage when used for the purposes
of testing electric vehicle charging points as defined herein. If used in a manner other than
those defined in this user guide the protection capabilities could be impaired with potential
risk to the operator and the instrument.
Circuit connections and exposed-conductive-parts and other metalwork of an installation or
equipment under test must not be touched during testing.
The live phase indicators are an additional safety feature which may fail; therefore safe
working practices must be observed.
Check that all test leads and plugs are in good order, clean and with no broken or cracked
insulation before use.
The instrument, leads and plugs should not be used if any part is damaged.
All test leads supplied with the instrument form part of the measuring circuit of the
instrument. They must not be modified or changed in any way, or be used with any other
electrical instrument or appliance.
Replacement fuses must be of the correct type and rating. Failure to fit the correctly rated
fuse may result in a safety hazard and may cause damage to the instrument in the event of
an overload.
If no voltage is present between the L and N of the terminals or between the L and N of the
front mains plug socket when the EVCA210 is connected to the charging point, using the
appropriate charging plug and the charging point is in charging mode, this may be because
the EVCA210 internal fuse has blown.
In the event of no neutral (N) connection, the phase indicator LED’s will not light but phases
may still be live.
The PE Pre-Test must be carried out prior to any other testing. If this test fails, further testing
must cease, and fault must be investigated and rectified before continuing as there may be
a potently high voltage present within the charging point and on the output terminals and
therefore a high risk of electric shock to the operator and other persons nearby.
Take precautions to ensure that terminals will not be short circuited.
Connect only suitably rated leads and test equipment to the adapter.
DO NOT leave this adapter connected to the socket when testing is complete
