Chapter 1 Out of Box Audit
When you receive the instrument, some inspections are necessary, and the condition must be
understood and available before installing the instrument.
1.1 To Inspect the package
Inspect the shipping container for damage after unpacking it. It is not recommended to power on the
instrument in the case of a damaged container.
If the contents in the container do not conform to the packing list, notify us or your dealer.
1.2 Power connection
1) Power-supplying voltage range: 100 ~ 120 Vac or 198 ~ 242 Vac. Related to the rear panel
power setting.
2) Power-supplying frequency range: 47~63Hz.
3) Power-supplying power range: not less than 80VA.
4) Power supplying input phase line L, zero line N, ground lead E should be as same as the power
plug of the instrument.
5) After careful design, the instrument can reduce the clutter jamming caused by AC power
terminal input; however, it should be used under the environment with low-noise. Please install
power filter if being unavoidable.
———————————————————————————————————————
Warning: In order to prevent user and instrument from being hurt by leakage, it is necessary
for user to guarantee the ground line of supply power being reliably grounded.
———————————————————————————————————————
1.3 Fuse
The instrument has installed fuse, so operators should use the installed fuse of our company.
———————————————————————————————————————
Warning: Be sure that the location of fuse is consistent with power-supplying voltage range
before charging.
———————————————————————————————————————
1.4 Environment
1) Please do not operate the instrument in the place that is vibrative, dusty, under direct sunlight

2
or where there is corrosive air.
2) The normal working temperature is 0℃~40℃, relative humidity ≤75%, so the instrument
should be used under above condition to guarantee the accuracy.
3) There is heat abstractor on the rear panel to avoid the inner temperature rising. In order to keep
good airiness, please don’t obstruct the left and right airiness holes to make the instrument
maintain the accuracy.
4) Although the instrument has been specially designed for reducing the noise caused by ac power,
a place with low noise is still recommended. If this cannot be arranged, please make sure to use
power filter for the instrument.
5) Please store the instrument in the place where temperature is between 5℃and 40℃, humidity
is less than 85%RH. If the instrument will not be put in use for a time, please have it properly
packed with its original box or a similar box for storing.
6) The instrument, especially the test cable should be far from strong electro-magnetic field, to
avoid the jamming on measurement.
1.5 Use of Test Fixture
Please use the accessory test fixture or cable, the test fixture made by user or from other
company may cause the incorrect measurement result. The test fixture or cable should be kept
clean, as well as the pin of DUT, thus to guarantee the good connection between DUT and fixture.
Connect the fixture or cable to four test terminals Hcur, Hpot, Lcur, Lpot on the front panel. As for
the DUT with shielding shell, connect shielding layer or ground “┴”.
Note: When test fixture or cable has not being installed, the instrument will display an unstable test
result.
1.6 Warm-up
1) To guarantee the accurate measurement, the warm-up time is no less than 15min.
2) Please not turn on or off instrument frequently, in order to avoid the inner data fluster.
1.7 Other features
1) Power: consumption power≤80VA.
2) Dimension (W*H*D): 235mm*105mm*360mm
3) Shelf Size (W*H*D): 215mm*88mm*335mm
