INTRODUCTION
This Quick Start Guide is intended as a fast introduction to
operating the GPT-9000 Series Safety Testers. This Quick Start
Guide assumes that the user is familiar with safety testers.
For comprehensive instructions on the GPT-9000 Series, please see
the User Manual, located on the accompanying CD.
GPT-9000 Series Overview
The GPT-9000 Series Safety Testers are AC/DC withstanding
voltage, insulation resistance and ground bond safety testers. The
GPT-9801 is an AC withstanding voltage tester, the GPT-9802 is an
AC/DC withstanding voltage tester and the GPT-9803 is an
AC/DC withstanding voltage and insulation resistance tester. The
GPT-9804 includes all the functions of the other models as well as
ground bond testing. All models can operate at up to 5kVAC for
AC withstanding voltage testing. The GPT-9802, GPT-9803 and
GPT-9804 can also operate at up to 6kVDC for DC withstanding
voltage testing.
The GPT-9000 Series can store up to 100 manual tests, as well as
run up to 16 manual tests sequentially as an automatic test,
allowing the safety testers to accommodate any number of safety
standards, including IEC, EN, UL, CSA, GB, JIS and others.

Results
When the tester is allowed to run to
completion, a MANU test or AUTO test result
is shown as a PASS or FAIL.
For MANU mode, the screen will show PASS or
FAIL on the screen and the PASS or FAIL
indicators will light up.
For AUTO mode, a PASS or FAIL judgment
will be shown for each step in a table. The
AUTO test as a whole will be judged either as
PASS if all steps have passed, or as FAIL if any
one step has failed.
