1 Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service and
repair of this instrument. By purchasing this equipment, the purchaser assumes all liability for
the operation and use of this equipment. The intended use of the instrument, its design and
manufacture, is to be conducted within the precautions or other specific warnings located within
this manual. Failure to comply with these precautions and other specific warnings violates the
safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use. Raytech assumes no liability for the
operation and use of this equipment.
1.1 Operators Qualifications
Only qualified, knowledgeable persons should be permitted to or attempt to operate this test
equipment. All testing personnel should fully familiarize themselves with the correct application
and operation of this and all test equipment before operation.
The measurements should never perform by only one operator without the presence of other
personnel or supervisors. Someone else other than the main operator must be aware and easily
accessible to help in case of an emergency.
1.2 High Voltage Apparatus Accessibility During the Tests
Persons directly and indirectly engaged in the operation of this test equipment should keep
clear of all high voltage apparatus while conducting tests and measurements. A barrier band
must always use so the test object under the test is not accessible to any person during the test.
1.3 Ground the Instrument
The power cord supplied with the equipment must be connected to an electrical receptacle with
an electrically grounded terminal (earthed ground). To minimize shock hazards, the ground
terminal on the instrument must be properly connected to the earth point. In many cases, the
quality of the safety ground terminal provided by the power cord does not fulfil the safety
requirements.
Never connect the instrument to an energized transformer!
WARNING!
Non-grounded instruments are dangerous and may cause damage to
personnel and to the instrument.
WARNING!

1.4 Before Applying Power
Read this manual carefully before operating the system. The instrument is line operated. The
system is designed to be used with either 110VAC or 230VAC 50/60 Hz. The system performs
a self-check each time it is powered on.
1.5 Keep Away from Live Circuits
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and internal
repairs must be made by qualified service personnel. Do not replace components or service this
instrument with the power cable connected. To avoid injuries, always discharge circuits,
disconnect power and remove external voltage sources before touching components.
1.6 Do Not Operate in An Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
1.7 Do Not Substitute Parts or Modify Instrument
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or
perform any unauthorized modification to the instrument. Return the instrument to a Raytech
service department for service to ensure proper operation and that safety features are
maintained.
Instruments, which appear damaged or defective, should be made inoperative and secured
against unintended operation until they can be repaired by qualified service personnel.
1.8 Do Not Operate in A Condensing Humidity or Under Rain
Operating the instrument in condensing humidity or under the rain can introduce an electric
shock hazard for the user and also can damage the instrument. This instrument is not supposed
to be installed permanently outdoor.
1.9 Always Keep Distance from the Test Object During the Tests
During performing the tests, there may be a hazardous voltage at the terminals of the test
object. Always keep a distance of a minimum of 1.5m from the test object. The unsafe area
must be specified and restricted with barrier tapes or ropes like Figure 1. Enter the area only
when not testing and when the instrument shows that there is no output voltage which is
specified when the green light indicator on the front panel is on.

3 Introduction
The Raytech precision mini–Automatic Transformer Observation System (mini-ATOS) is a
professional multifunctional power transformer and substation diagnosing test instrument
developed by Raytech engineers. It is designed for a high degree of accuracy and ease of use.
This compact and intelligent instrument can perform many routines and advanced tests such as
Winding Resistance (WR), Dynamic Resistance Measurement (DRM), Turns Ratio (TR),
Frequency Response of Stray Losses (FRSL), Magnetic Balance, and other diagnostic
parameters. With the built-in fully automatic multiplexer, only a one-time connection is required for
nearly all functions which saves a considerable amount of time. The portable, rugged case is
perfect for use anywhere onsite or in a laboratory. It is specially designed for fast and easy
measurements with the well-known high precision and quality of all Raytech instruments.
The mini-ATOS field case is a waterproof design (IP67). A pressure
regulator activates when the case is opened to compensate for
atmospheric pressure changes.
