SAFETY CHECKLIST
Survey the test station. Make sure it is safe & orderly.
Always keep unqualied/unauthorized personnel away from the test area.
Familiarize yourself with safety protocols in the event of a problem.
Exercise caution and never touch products or connections during a test.
Train operators. Connect the return lead rst and never touch clips directly.
You should always know when a test is being performed.
WARNING: THIS GUIDE WAS CREATED FOR OPERATORS HAVING SOME FAMILIARITY WITH
ELECTRICAL SAFETY TESTING. AN ELECTRICAL SAFETY TESTER PRODUCES VOLTAGES AND
CURRENTS THAT CAN CAUSE HARMFUL OR FATAL ELECTRIC SHOCK. TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL
INJURY OR DEATH, THESE SAFETY PROCEDURES MUST BE STRICTLY OBSERVED WHEN HANDLING
AND USING A TEST INSTRUMENT.

WARNING: LOCATE A SUITABLE TESTING AREA WITH A THREE-PRONG, GROUNDED OUTLET. BE SURE THAT
YOUR THREE-PRONG OUTLET HAS BEEN TESTED FOR PROPER WIRING. READ THE SAFETY CHECKLIST OF
THIS GUIDE BEFORE STARTING TO TEST.
2. Connect the female end of the supplied NEMA style line power cord into the input power
receptacle on the rear panel of the tester. Plug the male end of the cord into a grounded
power source.

Adapter Box Connections
To increase operator safety, you may elect to use an adapter box for products terminating in either
a two-prong or three-prong line cord. If using an adapter box, follow these instructions to safely
connect a DUT.
Hook the black lead from the adapter box (P/N 99-10005-01) into the CURRENT terminal
located on the front panel.
Plug the white lead from the adapter box into the H.V. output terminal located on the
front panel.
Hook the black ground return lead (P/N 99-10238-01) into the front panel RETURN
terminal. Connect the other end of the lead to the dead metal on the chassis of the DUT.
check to ensure a solid connection is made between the DUT and the return clip.
Plug the line cord of the DUT into the adapter box receptacle.

DUT Connection
If you elect to use test leads, follow these instructions to safely connect a DUT.
Hook the black return lead (P/N 99-10238-01) into the RETURN terminal located
on the front panel. Connect the other end of the return lead to the dead metal
on the chassis of the DUT.
Hook the high current lead (P/N 99-10239-01) into the front panel CURRENT
output terminal. You may need to unscrew the terminal slightly to make the
connection. Connect the other end to the ground pin of the DUT line cord.
Plug the high voltage lead (102-055-913) into the H.V. terminal located on
the front panel. Connect the clip end of the high voltage lead to the current
carrying conductors of the DUT’s circuitry.
Exposed Metal Chassis Setup
If your chassis does not have any exposed metal, you can wrap the enclosure of the
DUT in foil and then connect the return lead to the foil.

panel of the tester. If you’re not utilizing a DUT enclosure (P/N 99-10715-01) or other safety
device, the Interlock Disable Key is required in order to run a test.
2. Push the green TEST button on the front panel. The DUT is tested for a duration equal to the
Ramp and Dwell settings.
