Power Cord for the United Kingdom
When using the instrument in the United Kingdom, make sure the power
cord meets the following safety instructions.
NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED IMPORTANT:
The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green/ Yellow:
Earth
Blue:
Neutral
Brown:
Live (Phase)
As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the coloured marking
identified in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth terminal
marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol or coloured Green/Green &
Yellow.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal marked with the
letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.
If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or contact the supplier.
This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and approved HBC mains
fuse: refer to the rating information on the equipment and/or user instructions for details.
As a guide, a cable of 0.75mm2should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger
conductors would normally require 13A types, depending on the connection method
used.
Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is engaged in a live socket is
extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is deemed hazardous, turn off the mains power
and remove the cable, any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be
immediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the above standard.

Line Voltage Connection and Power Up
The RSST-2000 accepts line voltages of 100 - 240V at 50Hz or 60Hz.
1. Connect the power cord to the AC Mains Input
socket on the rear panel.
2. If the power cord does not have an earth ground,
ensure the ground terminal is connected to an
earth ground.
Warning
Ensure the power cord is connected to an earth ground.
Failure could be harmful to the operator and instrument.
3. Press the Power button.
4. When the unit is powered up, the display will show the last time
parameters in either MANU or AUTO test mode as shown below.

Workplace Precautions
The RSST-2000 is a high voltage instrument that outputs dangerous
voltages. The following section describes precautions and procedures that
must be followed to ensure a safe work environment.
Warning
The RSST-2000 generates voltages in excess of 5kVAC or
6kVDC. Follow all safety precautions, warnings and
directions given in the following section when using the
instrument.
1. Only technically qualified personnel should be allowed to operate the
safety tester.
2. The operating workplace must be fully isolated, especially when the
instrument is in operation. The instrument should be clearly labeled with
appropriate warning signage.
3. The operator should not wear any conductive materials, jewelry, badges,
or other items, such wrist watches.
4. The operator should wear insulation gloves for high voltage protection.
5. Ensure the earth ground of the line voltage is properly grounded.
6. Ensure any devices that are adversely affected by magnetic fields are
not placed near the tester.
Operating Precautions
The RSST-2000 is a high voltage instrument that outputs dangerous
voltages. The following section describes precautions and procedures that
must be followed to ensure that the tester is operated in a safe manner.
Warning
The RSST-2000 generates voltages of up to 5kVAC or
6kVDC. Follow all safety precautions, warnings and
directions given in the following section when using the
instrument.

1. Never touch the safety tester, lead wires, terminals, probes and other
connected equipment when the tester is testing.
2. Do not turn the safety tester on and off quickly or repeatedly. When
turning the power off, please allow a few moments before turning the
power back on. This will allow the protection circuits to properly
initialize.
Do not turn the power off when a test is running, unless in an
emergency.
3. Only use those test leads supplied with the instrument. Leads with
inappropriate gauges can be dangerous to both the operator and the
instrument.
For GB testing, never use the Sense leads on the SOURCE terminals.
4. Do not short the HIGH VOLTAGE terminal with ground. Doing so could
charge the chassis to dangerously high voltages.
5. Ensure the earth ground of the line voltage is properly grounded.
6. Only connect the test leads to the HIGH VOLTAGE/SOURCE
H/SENSE H terminals before the start of a test. Keep the test leads
disconnected at all other times.
7. Always press the STOP button when pausing testing.
8. Do not leave the safety tester unattended. Always turn the power off
when leaving the testing area.
9. When remotely controlling the safety tester, ensure adequate safety
measures are in place to prevent:
Inadvertent output of the test voltage.
Accidental contact with the instrument during testing. Ensure that the
instrument and DUT are fully isolated when the instrument is remotely
controlled.
10. Ensure an adequate discharge time for the DUT.
When DCW or IR tests are performed, the DUT, test leads and probes
become highly charged. The RSST-2000 has discharge circuitry to

11
discharge the DUT after each test. The time required for a DUT to
discharge depends on the DUT and test voltage.
Never disconnect the safety tester before a discharge is completed.
Basic Safety Checks
The RSST-2000 is a high voltage device and as such, daily safety checks
should be made to ensure safe operation.
1. Ensure all test leads are not broken and are free from defects such as
cracks or splitting.
2. Ensure the safety tester is always connected to an earth ground.
3. Test the safety tester operation with a low voltage/current output:
Ensure the safety tester generates a FAIL judgment when the HIGH
VOLTAGE and RETURN terminals are shorted (using the lowest
voltage/current as the testing parameters)
Warning
Do not use high voltages/currents when the HIGH
VOLTAGE and RETURN terminals are shorted. It may
result in damage to the instrument
