Safety Gauge Safety Checklist Gauge safety features should be tested regularly to ensure correct and safe operation. We recommend quarterly inspection of EZ101C AUTOMATIC EZOBILITY GAUGE safety features using the following checklist. If any safety feature does not operate, stop using the gauge immediately and rectify the problem. Contact Versatile Technology for advice and replacement parts. Features
Tasks
Cabinet
Ensure all panels are fastened shut.
Power Supply Module
Supply Module Cover is in place and Mains wiring is inaccessible. Warning labels are fitted.
Electrical Safety Test
Perform Electrical Safety test and record results. (Refer to the 'Electrical Safety' section of the manual.) 'Tested for Electrical Safety' adhesive label is affixed.
Door Interlocks
Check that the interlock switch is working. Test mode should not commence if the interlocked door is open. If door is opened gauge should stop.

In Service Safety Inspection and Electrical Safety Testing Purpose In service testing is necessary for the safety of persons using the equipment. In conjunction with AS3760:2001, this document specifies in-service safety inspection and testing protocols and criteria for the testing of Versatile Technology Gauging equipment.
Action Such equipment, without being dismantled, needs to be subjected to routine inspection and testing to detect obvious damage, wear or other conditions which may render it unsafe. Equipment identified to be faulty needs to be withdrawn from service and either Versatile Technology or qualified personnel contacted to arrange repair or disposal. In accordance with AS3760:2001, the equipment must be subjected to: • Visual Inspection • Protective Earthing test • Insulation Resistance test • Documentation of all tests
Frequency We recommend protectively earthed equipment installed in a Factory or workshop be inspected every year.

Part A: Equipment Electrical Safety Testing Procedure
To ensure that a gauge does not become an electrical hazard to the operator, servicing agent or builder Versatile Technology, an electrical safety test must be performed on the gauge prior to commissioning and a test record must be completed and shipped to the customer.
Test Equipment Required Insulation and Earth Resistance Tester. Lutron DI6200 or equivalent. Testing standards. Based on Australian Standards AS 3760:2001.
Test Procedure Insulation Test Connect the Tester as shown in the following diagram. The tester applies 500 volts and measures the resistance between the mains circuit and the gauge earth, which is the gauge case. Record all results on Electrical Safety Certificate
The Minimum Resistance allowed between the Active supply and case is 1 M.
Note: If the resistance is below 5 M then the gauge should be serviced as there may be an electrical fault.

Part B: Earth Resistance or Protective Earthing Test
This check measures the resistance between the earth conductor and the external case and metal parts that may become live due to a failure of the internal wiring. Connect the Tester as shown in the following diagram. Test with mains switch both ON and OFF. Record all results on Electrical Safety Certificate.
If a gauge fails the electrical safety test? In the event of a gauge failing any element of the electrical safety test the gauge should be immediately repaired. If this is not possible it should be segregated so that it cannot be used.
Under no circumstances can a gauge be used without passing the electrical safety test.
