Quick Start Guide
Safety Made Simple
2900 Series
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.
SAFETY CHECKLIST
KEEP unqualied/unauthorized personnel away from the test area
ARRANGE test staons in a safe and orderly manner
NEVER touch products or connecons during a test
STOP the test rst in the event of a problem
NEVER perform a Ground Bond test on energized circuitry or equipment
BE SURE to always connect the return test lead rst
HANDLE test clips by insulaon only, never touch clips directly

CALIBRATION KEY: Press this key while the instrument is being powered on to enter
calibraon mode.
REMOTE INPUT/OUTPUT: 9-pin D subminiature male connector for remote control of
TEST and RESET funcons as well as for monitoring PASS, FAIL, and PROCESSING output
relay signals.
BUS INTERFACE: Oponal connector for interconnecon to RS-232 bus interface.
OPTIONAL REAR OUTPUT TERMINALS: Addional output terminals.
THERMAL FAN: Used to cool the instrument.
FUSE RECEPTACLE: To change the fuse, unplug the power (mains) cord and turn the fuse
receptacle counterclockwise. The fuse compartment will be exposed. Please replace the
fuse with one of the proper rang.
INPUT POWER RECEPTACLE: Standard IEC 320 connector for connecon to a standard
NEMA style line power (mains) cord.
VOLTAGE SELECT SWITCH: Sets the line voltage conguraon of the instrument. In the le
posion it is set for 115 volt operaon, in the right posion it is set for 230 volt operaon.
CHASSIS GROUND (EARTH) TERMINAL: This safety terminal should be connected to a
good earth ground before operaon.

1. Adjust the line voltage select switch on the rear panel
of the instrument to the appropriate input voltage
rang, either 115 VAC or 230 VAC.
2. Connect the female end of the standard NEMA
style line power (mains) cord into the input power
receptacle on the rear panel of the instrument and
plug the male end of the cord into a grounded power
source.
3. Connect the Interlock Disable key to the Remote
Input connector on the back panel of the instrument.
This is required in order to run a test.
4. Turn the instrument power switch ON.
Upon power up, you will see the Slaughter company name, model number, and the current soware
version briey appear on the display and then you will see the default test parameters as shown.
Setting Up The Instrument

WARNING: LOCATE A SUITABLE TESTING AREA WITH A THREE-PRONG, GROUNDED OUTLET. BE
SURE THAT THE THREE PRONG GROUNDED OUTLET HAS BEEN TESTED FOR PROPER WIRING. MAKE SURE YOU
READ THE SAFETY CHECKLIST OF THIS GUIDE BEFORE USING THE INSTRUMENT.

If you wish to change the default test sengs, you will need to begin by choosing a
memory locaon rst.
1. Press the SET key from the Perform Test screen to select a memory locaon. Use the up
or down arrow keys to select memory locaons 1 – 10.
2. Press the SET key to toggle through the test parameters.
3. Use the up or down arrow keys to edit each parameter.
4. When you are nished eding the test parameters press the EXIT key to save your
sengs and return to the Perform Test Screen.

DUT Connecon
Connect the black return lead (102-069-904) to the front panel return output terminal and
connect the other end of the lead to the dead metal on the chassis of the DUT.
Connect a second black return lead (102-069-904) to the front panel connuity check
terminal and connect the other end of the lead to the third prong on the line cord coming
from the DUT .
Connect either the high voltage lead (102-055-913) or high voltage probe (102-050-913),
whichever one you are using for your applicaon, into the high voltage terminal located on
the front panel and connect the other end of the cable to both the hot and neutral pins of
the line cord.

Test Connections
Adapter Box Connecon
The adapter box (99-10001-01) is available as an opon accessory for the 2900 series. It
provides an easy way to connect to a DUT that is terminated in a two-prong or three-prong
line cord.
Connect the black return lead (102-069-904) to the front panel return output terminal and
connect the other end of the lead to the dead metal on the chassis of the DUT.
Connect the high voltage lead from the adapter box to the front panel high voltage
terminal.
Connect the connuity lead from the adapter box to the front panel connuity check
terminal.
Plug your DUT into the adapter box.

Test Results
Aer a test has been performed, the test results will be indicated on the front panel display.
PASS: If the DUT passes the test, you will hear a short audible beep and the display will
indicate the test results.
FAIL: If a failure occurs, you will hear a long audible alarm and the red ashing indicator
will light up. To stop the alarm press the red RESET buon.
