Device Under
Test (DUT)
DUT with 3 Prong Plug
(If you are testing a DUT with other than
a three prong grounded power cord, see
diagram below titled :“SET-UP TESTING
2-WIRE HIPOT”)
WHAT IS NEEDED FOR FOR SELF TEST AND BASIC DEVICE TESTING:
(The ground sense wire has a banana plug
which inserts into the “Chassis Ground
Sense post on the front panel of the
ROD-L unit and allegator clip to be
connected to the DUT)
(The power cord connects to the rear
panel of the ROD-L unit and to any
grounded three-prong wall socket. Be
sure to set the line voltage on rear panel
to correct voltage i.e. 110 or 220)
1.a Make sure the line voltage
switch on rear panel is set to
the correct value for the wall
outlet (i.e. 110 or 220).
1.b Connect the POWER
CORD to the rear of the
ROD-L Unit and plug into
any three-prong grounded
wall outlet.
1.c Turn on the Line Power on
the front panel of the ROD-
L Unit.
1.d Insert banana end of
GROUND SENSE WIRE into
the Chassis Ground Sense
post on the front panel of
ROD-L unit.
1.e Connect allegator clip of
ground sense wire to the
metal portion of the ROD-L
unit handle. Green Ready
light will light.
1.f Press “Start.”
After you press start, the “Testing” light will light for a brief period of time and then shut off.
This completes the self test.
Disconnecting the Ground Sense Wire from the Chassis Ground Sense post or the metal part of handle will cause
the test to fail. The red fail light will light, the audible alarm will sound and the unit will shut down. If this happens,
press the Reset button to turn off the alarm.
Make sure your test parameters are set correctly on the rear panel. If you are unsure or need to set any test
parameters, see instructions on the next page or refer to the manual.
2.a Plug the three-prong plug of
the DUT into the front panel
receptacle of the ROD-L
tester
2. BASIC DEVICE TEST
2.b Connect the allegator clip of
the Ground Sense Wire to
the DUT. Green Ready light
should light.
2.c Press “Start.” Testing light will
light for a brief period of time
and then return to ready
mode if test passes.
2.d If failure light and audible
alarm turn on, disconnect the
DUT and press the Reset
button on tester to cancel
alarm.

1. Large Variac Knob:
The Variac scale is marked from 0 to 100, and can be interpreted as “percentage of full-scale capability of the unit” (e.g.
50 on the Variac would correspond to 2500 volts on a 5KV maximum unit, but only 1400 volts on a 2.8 kV maximum
unit.
2. Total Current Potentiometer:
This is a 10-turn pot, where the extreme clockwise position (10.00 on the vernier dial) corresponds to the maximum
current output capability of the unit.A setting of 5.00 on the potentiometer of a 40 mA unit would correspond to a total
current trip point of 20 mA, however, for a 25 mA unit a setting of 5.00 on the potentiometer would correspond to a
trip point of 12.5 mA.
3. Real Current Potentiometer:
This is also a 10-turn pot which adjusts in exactly the same manner as the total current potentiometer.
4. Under Current Potentiometer:
This is also a 10-turn potentiometer which adjusts in the same manner as the other potentiometers.This potentiometer,
when set in any position above 0, requires a minimum amount of current to be drawn (corresponding to the setting of
the dial) from the D.U.T. A setting of 5.00 would require at least 20 mA of current to be drawn on a 40 mA unit, but only
12.5 mA on a 25 mA unit.
It is recommended that this potentiometer be set to 0 -- the extreme counter-clockwise position if you don’t have a
specific requirement for an undercurrent setting.

General Safety Guidelines for ROD-L Units
[Note:The following information applies to all ROD-L units and is also contained in the user’s manuals]
All ROD-L Electronics units are designed to assure maximum safety for the operators of the units.There are
no extraordinary precautions necessary during their operation and setup, however, due to the fact that high
voltage and high current are in use, there are some strongly recommended guidelines listed below:
There are a number of safety features built into ROD-L units that should never be removed or overridden.
These are; 1) the chassis ground sense circuit, 2) The internal components of the front panel high voltage
receptacle, 3) The recessed start button, 4) The alarm light and alarm tone, 5) The internal shut-down
circuitry of the units, 6) The reset switch.
The units should only be connected to three-wire grounded outlets.The safety of the outlets should be
periodically checked to insure safety.
Before initial operation, verify that the line input voltage selector switch (for 115 volts vs. 230 volts) is in the
correct position.
Due to the fact that high voltage is also present at the rear panel voltage connector
during operation of the unit, the connector when not used should be covered or the unit should be
positioned in such a way that the metal contacts within it cannot be accidentally touched.
Before changing fuses in the units, the power switch should be turned-off and the power cord disconnected.
Do not touch the device-under-test or its power cord while a test is in progress.
Following the above precautions should eliminate hazard to the operator of the ROD-L unit, but it should be
noted that the same common sense advice that would apply to the use of any electrical product should
always be used when operating ROD-L units.
