Inspecting Your Shipment
Remove the packing slip and verify that you have received everything listed,
including:
1 IDT indicator/controller with all applicable connectors attached
1 IDT Owner's Manual
Note: If you ordered any of the available options (except the "BL"
blank Lens option), they will be shipped in a separate container to avoid
any damage to your indicator/controller.
Warning: Inspect the container and equipment for signs of damage as
soon as you receive the shipment. Note any evidence of rough handling
in transit. Immediately report any damage to the shipping agent. The carrier
will not honor damage claims unless all shipping material is saved for
inspection. After examining and removing the contents, save the packing
material and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.
What You Will Need
In addition to the meter and connectors, you will need the following items
to setup your unit:
115VAC three-prong power cord

Safety
Considerations
The IDT is protected in accordance with Class II of IEC 348 and VDE 0411.
Remember that the unit has no power-on switch. It will be in operation
as soon as you connect it to a power source.
Warning:
Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Do not operate your unit in
flammable or explosive atmospheres. As with any electronic instrument,
you may encounter high voltage exposure when installing, calibrating,
or removing parts. Be careful when working near conductors carrying large
currents. Use twisted-pair connections to the unit. Use magnetic shielding
materials, or move the unit away from the current source to reduce magnetic
field problems. Do not exceed power rating on label located on the top
of the controller housing. Failure to follow all instructions and warnings
may result in injury!
