SAFETY CHECKLIST
Survey the test station. Make sure it is safe & orderly.
Always keep unqualied/unauthorized personnel away from the test area.
Familiarize yourself with safety protocols in the event of a problem.
Exercise caution and never touch products or connections during a test.
Train operators. Never touch clips directly and always connect the return lead rst.
You should always know when a test is being performed.
WARNING: THIS GUIDE WAS CREATED FOR OPERATORS HAVING SOME FAMILIARITY WITH ELECTRICAL SAFETY
TESTING. AN ELECTRICAL SAFETY TESTER PRODUCES VOLTAGES AND CURRENTS THAT CAN CAUSE HARMFUL
OR FATAL ELECTRIC SHOCK. TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURY OR DEATH, THESE SAFETY PROCEDURES MUST
BE STRICTLY OBSERVED WHEN HANDLING AND USING A TEST INSTRUMENT. CONTACT US AT
[e-mail] FOR MORE INFO ON HOW TO GET TRAINED ON ELECTRICAL SAFETY TESTING.

Select the correct input line voltage on the rear panel of the instrument,
either 115 VAC or 230 VAC.
Connect the female end of the standard NEMA style line power cord into the
input power receptacle on the rear panel of the instrument. Plug the male
end of the cord into a grounded power source.
Connect the Interlock Disable Key into the signal input connector on the rear
panel of the instrument. This is required to run a test.
Turn the instrument power switch ON.
The initialization screen will appear. After three seconds the Perform Test screen
will appear as shown below.

EDIT SYSTEM PARAMETERS
PERFORM A GROUND CONTINUITY CHECK
Congure the instrument system parameters to your preferences. The instrument
system parameters are global and will affect all tests that you perform regardless
of memory location and memory step.
You can easily perform a Ground Continuity check on Class I products through the
use of the adapter box (P/N 36544) provided with the instrument and ground return
lead. To enable this function, you will need to set the instrument to run either an AC
or DC Hipot test.
Note: If you need to preform a Ground Continuity check on your DUT, be sure to enable
the Ground Continuity test before moving forward.

TEST CONNECTION
Adapter Box Connections
To increase operator safety, you may elect to use an adapter box for products
terminating in either a two-prong or three-prong line cord.
Plug the black lead from the adapter box (P/N 36544) into the CONT.
CHECK terminal located on the front panel.
Plug the white lead (P/N 4040A-08) from the adapter box into the high
voltage output terminal located on the front panel.
Connect the black ground return lead (P/N 2100A-13) to the front panel
return terminal and connect the other end of the lead to the dead metal
on the chassis of the DUT. Check to ensure a solid connection is made
between the DUT and the return clip.
Plug the line cord of the DUT into the adapter box receptacle.

TEST RESULTS
Connect the Interlock Disable Key (P/N 38075) to the signal input
connector on the rear panel of the instrument. If you’re not utilizing a
DUT enclosure (P/N 39064 or 39656) or other safety device, the Interlock
Disable Key is required in order to run a test.
With the instrument set to the desired test type and your DUT correctly
connected to the instrument, you are now ready to start testing.
If the Continuity function is ON and the resistance of the ground circuit
is less than the Max Resistance setting, the green TEST button will
illuminate.
Push the green TEST button on the front panel. The DUT is tested for
a duration equal to the Ramp and Dwell settings.
PASS: If the DUT passes the test, you will hear a short audible beep and the
display will indicate the test results.
FAIL: If a failure occurs, you will hear a long audible alarm and the red ashing
indicator will light up. Press the red RESET button to stop alarm.
