1-2. Features
The V60 series electrical safety testers offer many outstanding features:
1) No load setup of trip current and output voltage. A safe way to setup the trip current and output
voltage is without the high voltage being activated.
2)A large 24×2 character LCD with adjustable LED back light.
Provides a clear display showing test parameters including: group, step, mode, status, output voltage, trip
current, and test time.
3) Easy and quick setup via the front panel. A user-friendly interface provides user with an easy and
quick way to set all parameters.
4) Electronic ramping and testing. Digital controlled ramping time and testing time.
5) Line and load regulation. Linear amplifier with feedback-control, maintains output voltage regardless
of the variation of load.
6) Selectable output frequency. 50/60 Hz is selectable by utility setup.
7) Adjustable ARC detects level. ARC detect level is selected by utility setup.
8) Storage of up to 10 groups, 16 steps for each group. A total of 10 groups provide the operator with
the capability of testing different products. Each group includes 16 steps.
9) Manual output voltage adjustment mode. With a special test mode on the MAN group, the operator
is able to adjust the output voltage during testing.
10) Flashing high voltage indicator. A flashing red LED indicates danger when high voltage output is
activated.
11) PLC remote control. The 9-pin interface provides inputs (START, RESET) and outputs (TEST,
PASS, FAIL).
12) Data lock function. Front panel can be locked or unlocked by utility setup.
13) Ground Check function. Check the continuity of earth ground in the power inlet before testing.
14) Scanner Interface
A pair of Scanner test with 96 channels.
15) RS-232 and GPIB Interface
The RS-232 and GPIB interface enables remote control operation and signal processing via a PC.

3. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION
3-1. Unpacking the instrument
The product has been fully inspected and tested before shipping from the factory. Upon receiving the
instrument, please unpack and inspect it for any damage that may have occurred during transportation. If
any sign of damage is found, notify the carrier and Vitrek or your distributor immediately.
3-2. Safety Notice
Work Place Safety
The work place must be isolated from routine traffic and when high voltage testing is in process, a
warning signal should be provided.
Checking the Line Voltage
The instrument can be connected to any kind of line voltage shown in the table below. Before connecting
the power plug to an AC line outlet, make sure the voltage selector on the rear panel is set to the correct
position corresponding to the line voltage. CAUTION: Damage to the instrument may occur if it is
connected to the wrong AC line voltage.
WARNING. To avoid electrical shock the power cord protective grounding conductor must
be connected to ground.
When line voltage is changed, install the required fuses shown as below:
Line voltage Range Fuse Line voltage Range Fuse
100V
120V
90-110V
108-132V
T 4.0A
250V
220V
230V
198-242V
207-250V
T 4.0A
250V
WARNING. To avoid personal injury, disconnect the power cord before removing the fuse holder.
Operator’s Precaution
(1) Because of the extreme high output voltage and current of the breakdown tester, only a qualified person
should operate the tester in order to avoid fatal electric shock.
(2) On-the-job training is required for the operator to use the tester efficiently and safely.
(3) The operator should be prohibited from wearing metal jewelry, etc in order to avoid an electrical shock.
(4) A person with a heart condition or who wears a pacemaker must not operate the tester.
Safe, Secure Testing
The earth ground contact of the power cord must be properly connected in accordance with instructions.
The return lead must be connected to the tested object first before high voltage testing. Do not handle the

Vitrek V60 Series – Electrical Safety Tester USER MANUAL
9
alligator test leads while high voltage is applied. Also, when using the optional HV probe do not touch the
exposed conductive tip of the test probe during testing. Provide full control the power supplied to the
tester by means of a carefully placed on/off switch or remote power control device.
WARNING: During testing, do not touch the test object or any other connected objects
3-3. Environment
The normal ambient temperature range of this instrument is from 0°to 40°C (32°to 104°F). Operation of
the instrument above this specific temperature range may cause damage to the circuits.
Do not use the instrument in a place where a strong magnetic or electric field exists, as they may distort
the measurements.

* The arc detection circuit is tuned for high frequencies. It does not see any line frequency energy. Arcs are
a wide band phenomenon and are not required for electrical safety testing, so it is safe to disable this
feature. It is there primarily as a QC feature above and beyond the safety requirement. The safety spec is
checking for electrical breakdown of the primary insulation. Breakdown is defined by UL as a sudden and
uncontrolled flow of current. Since and arc tends to be a controlled flow of current it is not considered a
breakdown.
Please note that the Utility menu is context sensitive—that is, the options available are contingent upon
which test is currently ready to be run. For example, if you have an ACW test ready, you will have the Arc
