Symbols Explanation:
Please refer to the instruction manual for specic warning or caution information to avoid personal injury or damage to the
product.
S’il vous plaît se référer au manuel d’instructions de mise en garde ou information sur la prudence pour éviter des blessures
ou des dommages au produit
To indicate hazardous voltages may be present.
Avertissement des tensions dangereuses qui peuvent être présentes
Note: pay close attention to the maximum voltage and duty cycle limitations of each resistor. Applying voltages that are
higher than the recommended maximum setting or duty cycles greater than indicated can cause damage to the LVB-2.
Note: attention à la tension maximale et les limites du cycle de travail de chaque résistance. L’application de tensions
plus élevées que le réglage maximum recommandé ou cycles de travail supérieures à celles indiquées peut causer des
dommages à la LVB-2
WARNING
The LVB-2 works with test voltages and currents which can cause harmful or fatal electric shock. To prevent accidental injury
or death, these safety procedures must be strictly observed when handling and using the test instrument.

DO NOT TOUCH WHEN TESTING OR AFTER A MALFUNCTION HAS OCCURRED.
NE TOUCHEZ PAS LORS DE L’ESSAI OU APRÈS UN DYSFONCTIONNEMENT DU PRODUIT.
CAUTION: Never connect LVB-2 to any mains circuit directly
ATTENTION: Ne jamais connecter directement le LVB-2 à un circuit d’alimentation.
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 Ikonix USA 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 standard for dierent
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.
Using the LVB-2
The LVB-2 can be used with the following Ikonix USA instrument models:
Model Capability
OMNIA 2 8206 GB/GC, ACW, DCW, IR, RUN, LLT
OMNIA 2 8207 GB/GC, ACW, DCW, IR, RUN, LLT, Built-in

The LVB-2 load box consists of resistors designed to induce a PASS or FAIL condition:
• The Check Point knob position determines which
resistor is set in the LVB-2
• Each check point has a PASS and FAIL condition.
• For a list of all PASS and FAIL condition test settings,
refer to the LVB-2 Technical Specications table.
• There is no PASS condition for the 7.5kΩ check point.
• There is no FAIL condition for the 6.37MΩ check point
The Probe Conguration switch can be set to two dierent positions depending on the verication type.
Figure 2 shows the two dierent settings of the switch. This setting should match with the Probe Conguration setting on the Leakage
Current test instrument.
An example of the Probe Conguration setting on the instrument is shown in Figure 3 along with the corresponding leakage test type.
On the test instrument the Probe Conguration is programmed depending on the type of leakage test needed to be performed.

Instrument Connections
The diagram below shows all the connections needed to be made between the instrument and the LVB-2:
1. DUT Output connections - Line, Neutral and Ground of the DUT outputs connect to the DUT adapter box.
2. DUT Adapter box – DUT adapter box for connection of Line, Neutral and Ground to the LVB-2 connector terminal.
3. L, N and G connections – This is the socket for the standard IEC320 connector. The line cord from the DUT adapter
box connects these ports for making the Line, Neutral and Ground connections to the LVB-2 box.
4. Probe connections (Instrument) – Probe Hi and Probe Lo ports on the instrument.
5. Probe connections (LVB-2) – Probe Hi and Probe Lo connections on 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.
