Warning: Identifies conditions or practices that
could result in injury or loss of life.
CAUTION
Caution: Identifies conditions or practices that
could result in damage to the instrument or to
other properties.

Do not dispose electronic equipment as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this
instrument was purchased.
Safety Guidelines
General
Guideline
CAUTION
Do not place any heavy object on the
instrument.
Avoid severe impact or rough handling that
leads to damaging the instrument.
Do not discharge static electricity to the
instrument.
Use only mating connectors, not bare wires, for
the terminals.
Do not block the cooling fan opening.
Do not disassemble the GPT-10000 unless you
are qualified.
(Measurement categories) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the
measurement categories and their requirements as follows. The
GPT-10000 does not fall under category II, III or IV.
Measurement category IV is for measurement performed at the
source of low-voltage installation.
Measurement category III is for measurement performed in the
building installation.
Measurement category II is for measurement performed on the
circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation.
Power Supply
WARNING
AC Input voltage range:
AC 100V –240V ± 10%
Frequency: 50Hz/60Hz
To avoid electrical shock connect the protective
grounding conductor of the AC power cord to
an earth ground.

GPT-10000 Series Quick Guide

Cleaning the
GPT-10000
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.
Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild
detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid.
Do not use chemicals containing harsh material
such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.
Operation
Environment
Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,
almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)
Relative Humidity: ≤70% (no condensation)
Altitude: < 2000m
Temperature: 0˚C~40˚C
(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the pollution degrees
and their requirements as follows. The GPT-12000 falls under
degree 2.
Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or
gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric
strength or surface resistivity”.
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive
pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution
occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-
conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to
condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment
is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight,
precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature
nor humidity is controlled.
Storage
environment
Location: Indoor
Temperature: -10°C to 70°C
Relative Humidity: ≤ 85% (no condensation)
Disposal
Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this
instrument was purchased. Please make sure
discarded electrical waste is properly recycled to
reduce environmental impact.

INTRODUCTION
This Quick Start Guide is intended as a fast introduction to
operating the GPT-12000 Series Safety Testers. This Quick Start
Guide assumes that the user is familiar with safety testers.
For comprehensive instructions on the GPT-12000 Series, please see
the User Manual, located on the accompanying CD.
GPT-12000 Series Overview
The GPT-12000 Series Safety Testers are AC/DC withstanding
voltage, insulation resistance, ground bond and continuity safety
testers.
The GPT-12001 is AC withstanding voltage and continuity tester,
the GPT-12002 is AC/DC withstanding voltage and continuity
tester and the GPT-12003 is AC/DC withstanding voltage,
insulation resistance and continuity tester. The GPT-12004 includes
all the test functions of the other models, plus the ground bond
testing.
Note: Throughout this quick guide, the terms ACW, DCW, IR, GB
and CONT refer to AC Withstanding, DC Withstanding, Insulation
Resistance, Ground Bond and Continuity testing, respectively.

TEST status
5. The test will start by showing the ongoing ramp
up time followed by the ongoing test time. The
test will continue until the test is finished or
stopped.
WARNING
If Double Action is ON, ensure the START button is
pressed immediately after the STOP button was
pressed within 0.5s.
WARNING
If INTERLOCK is set to ON and the interlock key is
not connected to the SIGNAL I/O port, Interlock
Open message will be displayed on the screen to
prevent the test from starting for safety concern.
WARNING
A protection setting has been tripped; when a
protection setting has been tripped the
corresponding error message is displayed on the
screen. Refer to the User Manual for a
comprehensive list of the all the error messages.

AUTO Mode
Background
AUTO mode indicates that the tester is automatic,
which consists of a sequential AUTO test of up to
10 MANU steps. Also, several groups of AUTO
tests can be further interconnected for an
advanced AUTO test.
Steps
1. Press the AUTO key on the front panel.
2. After entering the AUTO mode, first use the scroll
wheel to choose the AUTO group number
followed by pressing the DOWN arrow soft-key to
add desired MANU steps into the list of AUTO test.

3. Set the STEP HOLD action for each MANU step
and press the SKIP soft-key to dodge select MANU
step, if necessary. The parameters of each MANU
step should be set up in MANU mode in advance.
Refer to the User Manual for more details.

automatically and the display changes to each
MANU step test in sequence until the last MANU
step test is finished or stopped.
WARNING
If Double Action is ON, ensure the START button is
pressed immediately after the STOP button was
pressed within 0.5s.
WARNING
If INTERLOCK is set to ON and the interlock key is
