TEST INSTRUMENT SAFETY
Normal use of test equipment exposes you to a certain amount of danger from electrical shock because testing must sometimes be performed
where exposed voltage is present. An electrical shock causing 10 milliamps of current to pass through the heart will stop most human
heartbeats. Voltage as low as 35 volts dc or ac rms should be considered dangerous and hazardous since it can produce a lethal current under
certain conditions. Higher voltages pose an even greater threat because such voltage can more easily produce a lethal current. Your normal
work habits should include all accepted practices to prevent contact with exposed high voltage, and to steer current away from your heart in
case of accidental contact with a high voltage. You will significantly reduce the risk factor if you know and observe the following safety
precautions:
1. Connect the NTSC Generator’s ac power cord only to a 3-wire outlet to assure that the instrument’s chassis and ground leads or probes
2. Don't expose high voltage needlessly to the equipment under test. Remove housings and covers only when necessary. Turn off equipment
3. If possible, familiarize yourself with the equipment being tested and the location of its high voltage points. However, remember that high

at very high voltage, often 20,000 volts or more. Carefully void these areas when the equipment is operating. It is also typical for these
circuits to retain a high voltage charge long after the equipment is turned off. Before attempting any servicing with the power removed,
discharge high voltage pints. Also avoid bumping the CRT with a sharp edge. Because of the high vacuum, a nicked CRT may “implode”
and cause flying glass fragments.
