PRV240 Proving Unit Instruction Sheet 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. Safety A Warning identifies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the user.  Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury: ●● Read all safety information before you use the Product. ●● Carefully read all instructions. ●● Do not alter the Product and use only as specified, or the protection supplied by the Product can be compromised. ●● Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. ●● Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet environments. ●● Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly. ●● Examine the case before you use the Product. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Carefully look at the insulation around the terminals. ●● Do not use the Product if it is altered or damaged. ●● Remove the batteries if the Product is not used for an extended period of time, or if stored in temperatures above 50 °C. If the batteries are not removed, battery leakage can damage the Product. ●● You must close and lock the battery door before you operate the Product. ●● Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator shows to prevent incorrect measurements. Symbols Symbols used in the instructions or on the Product are shown in Table 1. Table 1. Symbols Symbol  Definition Risk of danger. Important information. See manual. Hazardous voltage. Battery Certified by CSA Group to North American safety standards. Conforms to relevant Australian EMC standards.  Conforms to European Union directives.  Conforms to relevant South Korean EMC Standards. This product complies with the WEEE Directive marking requirements. The affixed label indicates that you must not discard this electrical/electronic product in domestic household waste.  Product Category: With reference to the equipment types in the WEEE Directive Annex I, this product is classed as category 9 "Monitoring and Control Instrumentation" product. Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste. Operation Table 2 shows the locations for the controls and interface of the Product. Use the Product to verify operation of a test tool at 240 V ac or 240 V dc. To use: 1. Select the AC or DC function with the selection switch on the side. 2. Place the red probe of the test tool into the (+) terminal and press down firmly. 3. Place the black probe of the test tool into the (-) terminal and press down firmly. 4. Make sure the meter reading of the Product is valid for the test function. For low impedance test tools, the output voltage should be sourced at >50 V ac or dc. It is recommended to test both the ac and dc functions of the test tool. Table 2.
