General Information
TheLVB-2isaloadboxusedforthefollowingapplications:
• Verifying that the failure detectors for a leakage current test sequence of your Associated Research electrical
safety testing instrument are functioning properly.
• Verifying failure limit thresholds for a leakage current test.
 •Verifyingthethreeprobecongurationsoftheinstrument(G-L,PH-LandPH-PL)arefunctioningproperly.
TheLVB-2consistsofloadsbasedonthe132V/264VtestvoltagesandfailurelimitslistedintheIEC60601-1teststan-
dard for different types of leakage tests.
Note: TheLVB-2isnotintendedtocomplywithanyspecicsafetyagencystandard.
Note:Thetripsettingmayvaryupto10%ofthesetvaluebasedonthecombinedtolerancesoftheinstrumentand
thecomponentsusedintheLVB-2.

Test Setup
Tosetupatest,connecttheDUToutputs(L,NandG)oftheleakageinstrumenttothelinecordconnectoronthe
LVB-2.ThetwoprobeconnectionswillalsoneedtobemadebetweentheinstrumentandtheLVB-2fortheveri-
cationofadditionalleakagetesttypes.Programatestsequencebasedontheparameterslistedonthetestboxfor
eachloadtype.SelecttheappropriateProbeCongurationontheLVB-2usingtheProbeConfgurationswitch.
RefertothespecicationstableandusetherotaryswitchtoselecttheappropriateCheckPointbyrotatingit
clockwiseorcounter-clockwise:
Ensurethatthesettingsonyourelectricalsafetytesterarelessthanorequaltothemaximumrecommended
voltage,currentanddutycyclesettingsoftheLVB-2.ForeachCheckPointaPASStestandaFAILtestwillbe
needed to programmed into the leakage test instrument for the pass/fail verifcation. When all connections have
been made and the appropriate test programmed in the instrument, press the TEST button to begin the test. With
the correct settings entered into the leakage test instrument, the leakage test instrument should record a failure for
the FAIL settings and a pass for the PASS settings.
