Chapter 1 Unpacking and Installing
This chapter tells some of the check points that must be performed after you receive the instrument
and things you must know before installing the instrument.
1.1 Precautions for Use
Be sure to follow the rules below when using the instrument:
Do not use the instrument in flammable air
To prevent burning or explosion, do not use the instrument near alcohol, thinner and other
flammable materials, or in air with high concentrations of these gases.
Avoid exposing the instrument to high temperatures and direct sunlight
Do not place the instrument where it is hot or where the temperature changes drastically.
Operating temperature range: 5℃to +35℃
Storage temperature range: -20℃to +60℃
Avoid wet environment
Do not place the instrument in a boiler, humidifier or high humidity environment with water.
Operating humidity range: 20% to 80%RH (dew condensation is not allowed)
Storage humidity range: <90%RH (dew condensation is not allowed)
Water condensation can cause the circuit to malfunction. The instrument can only be used when the
environment is completely dry.
Do not place the instrument in an environment with corrosive gas or dust
Do not use the instrument in an environment where corrosive gases such as sulfuric acid, fog, dirt
and dust or the like are present. This can corrode wires, connectors, and create hidden dangers or
connection defects that can cause malfunctions, failures, and even fires.
Do not use the instrument in a poorly ventilated area
The instrument has a forced air cooling system. Please allow enough space for the side and rear air
vents to ensure air circulation.
Do not use the instrument on a sloping surface or in a rocking place
If the instrument is placed on a non-horizontal surface or shaken, the instrument may slip and
damage the instrument.
Do not use the instrument where there is a strong magnetic field or electric field effect
Use the instrument where there is a strong magnetic field or electric field. Electromagnetic pulses
can cause a malfunction in the instrument.
Do not use the instrument near sensitive measuring instrument or receiver
Operation in a location subject, may cause such equipment be affected by noise generated by the tester.
At a test voltage exceeding 3 kV, corona discharge may be generated to produce substantial amounts
of RF broadband emissions between grips on the test lead wire. To minimize this effect, secure a
sufficient distance between alligator clips. In addition, keep the alligator clips and test lead wire away
from the surfaces of conductors (particularly sharp metal ends).
1.2 Precautions when moving
When moving or transporting the instrument, be aware of the following precautions:
Turn off the power switch before moving
Moving with the power switch on will cause electric shock and damage.

◇6
Disconnect all cables before moving
Moving the instrument without disconnecting the cable may result in damage to the cable or drop the
instrument during handling it.
1.3 Connecting AC Power Cables
The power cord is supplied by Tonghui along with the instrument. Do not use an AC power cord that
is not included with the instrument.
Connection order:
1. Make sure the power supply is within the power cord range of the instrument.
2. Determine the nominal value of the instrument fuse, the fuse box is installed in the correct
position (power supply)
3. Make sure the instrument's power switch is off
4. AC power cord is connected to the AC LINE (AC power cable) end of rear panel.
5. Please use the supplied AC power cord, or the AC power cord selected by the qualified
professionals
6. Plug in anAC outlet
1.4 Grounding
！
Warning
Please make sure to connect the instrument to an electrical ground (safety ground, earth).
If the grounding of the power outlet is not connected to the peripherals or the ground of nearby
commercial wires, the instrument is not directly connected to the earth, and the chassis of the instrument
is charged with an excessively high voltage, which is very dangerous.
The instrument is a Class II device (the device is protected from electric shock in addition to the basic
insulation). However, there is still the possibility of electric shock if there is no proper grounding.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To ensure safety, it is important to ensure that the instrument is grounded.
Select at least one of the following two available methods to ground:
1. The power cord is connected to a single-phase, three-wire power outlet. Make sure that
the socket’s ground wire is securely connected to the ground.
2. Connect the protective terminal of the rear panel to the ground through a grounding bar
(a copper wire or copper bar with a reliable connection to the ground which a production
line is equipped). Have a dedicated engineer select, make, and install the ground cable.
Ensure that the ground connection is correct and reliable.
1.5 Operation Check
！
Warning: During the normal operation, please use INTERLOCK to ensure the safety.
When using this tester in a cramped working space, make a box-like structure for the DUT; when
testing a complicated large-scale DUT: provide a cover or other means for the DUT to prevent electric
shock, cutting off the output when the cover is opened. It is also recommended that an enclosure be
provided around the operating area and that output be cut off every time the door is opened, to keep
the workplace safe and secure.
When the power switch is turned on, all the lights on the front panel lit on and begins a self-check to
make sure all indicators are working to ensure safety. It is particularly dangerous to conduct testing
when the DANGER indicator (high voltage hazard during testing) is damaged.

Chapter 2 Precautions on Handling
This chapter describes the precautions to be followed in the handling of this tester. When using the
tester, take utmost care to ensure safety.
！
WARNING: The tester derives a 5 KV test high voltage, care must be taken when operating the
instrument and follow the cautions, warnings, and other instructions given in this chapter.
Keep them in mind to avoid accidents.
2.1Prohibited Operation Behavior
Please do not turn on/off the power repeatedly.
After turning OFF the power switch, be sure to allow several seconds or more before turning it
ON again. Do not turn on/off power switch repeatedly, if you do this, the protectors of the
tester may not be able to render their protective functions properly. Do not turn OFF the power
switch when the tester is delivering test voltage, you may do this only in case of emergency.
Do not short the output terminal to the earth ground
Be careful not to short-circuit the high-voltage test leads of the instrument with nearby AC
LINE (AC power cord) or other nearby equipment (such as transmission equipment). If it is
shorted, the chassis of the instrument will be filled with dangerous high voltages.
Make sure that the protective ground terminal is connected with the ground wire, by doing so,
even if the HIGH VOLTAGE terminal is short-circuited to the ground, the instrument chassis
will not be charged with high voltage and there is no danger.
Please make sure to connect the protective ground terminal with the ground wire in correct and
reliable way, for details, please refer to “Chapter 1.5 Grounding”.
_
Note：The term "AC LINE" is used herein to refer to the power cord used by the instrument. It is
a wire that connects commercial power or power generated by power generation to the
power supply of the instrument.
___
Do not connect external voltage to the test terminal
Do not apply a voltage from any external device to the output terminals of the tester. The tester
does not have an external discharge function in the non-discharge state, connecting the output to an
external voltage can damage the instrument.
2.2Actions When in Emergency
In case of an emergency (such as electric shock hazard or burning of DUT) while the tester’s high
voltage output is not cut off, take the following actions. You may do either (a) or (b) first, but be sure
to do both:
a. Turn OFF the power switch of the tester.
b. Unplug the instrument from the power cord receptacle

◇9
2.3Precautions in Testing
■Wearing Insulation Gloves
When handling the tester, be sure to wear insulation gloves in order to protect yourself against
high voltages, even though, it is forbidden to touch the live conductor by hand when high voltage
test is conducting.
■Stop (Pause) Test
To change the test conditions, please press the STOP once first, this will take the tester out of
the test preparation state and ensure that the DANGER lamp is off. If need to take a break or
leave the test location, please switch off the power, to prevent the accidental contact with the
start switch and cause a safety hazard.
■Charged Items During High Voltage Testing
During the test, the high voltage output terminals, the high voltage test lead wires, the high
voltage probes, the DUT, and the conductors exposed to them are all charged with dangerous high
voltage power. Do not approach or touch these conductors during testing.
____
！
Warning:Do not touch the alligator clip on the test line. When the instrument is in the
test state, the rubber skin on the alligator clip is not insulated enough; it is very dangerous
to touch it!
■Precautions after switching off the high voltage output
If you have to touch the DUT, test leads, probes or output terminals and surrounding areas for
reconnection or other reasons, make sure the following two points:
(a) Confirm that the operating status displayed by the instrument is not the test status.
(b) The DANGER light is off.
■Remote Control Warning
Be very careful when operating the tester in remote control mode, because the start and stop of
high voltage is remote controlled, the operator can not know the actual working state of the tester
through the interface. Please pay special attention to the reliability of remote control
connection:
1.「STOP」key, must be connected reliably,「STOP」key must be pressed before changing the
DUT.
2. When working in a crowded work environment, the remote control switch must have a
interlock「INTLOCK」and the high voltage indicator. Disconnect the interlock「INTLOCK」
before changing the DUT.
The protection method ensures that the DUT, the test leads, the probe, the output, and the
surrounding area are never touched when the test voltage is output.
2.4High Voltage Test Warning
！
Warning: In high voltage testing, test lead wires, probes and DUT are all charged with high
voltage. The tester is equipped with a discharge circuit, but some time it still requires to discharge
after the output is cut off. There is a danger of electric shock during discharge. To avoid electric
shock, make sure that the DUT, the test leads, the probe, and the output terminal with high voltage
do not touch anything other than the test component. If you may be exposed to these, make sure the

◇10
DANGER light is off and remove the hidden danger.
As soon as the output is cut off, the tester’s discharge circuit starts forced discharging. Do not
disconnect the DUT during a test or prior to the completion of discharging.
Under normal circumstances, it can be guaranteed that the test circuit voltage will be within the safe
voltage range at the end of discharge.
When the capacitance of the DUT is too large or the structure of the DUT is special, the discharge
may be incomplete; the test method must be changed by the technician to ensure complete
discharge.
Discharge time:
Computational formula of discharge time: t = -In (30 / U) ×R×C
t: discharge time
30: discharge residue safety voltage 30V
U: test set voltage
R: discharge impedance of the DUT, approx. 10KΩ
C: capacitance of the DUT
Generally, only the DC type high voltage test needs to be discharged, and the length of the discharge
time depends on the nature of the DUT.
During the test, if it ends normally, the voltage will drop to zero according to the voltage drop time.
If the test fails, the discharge of the DUT is achieved by the secondary side of the transformer
(approximately 10k resistor), it takes approximately 0.05S for a 1uF capacitor with a high voltage
of 6000V to be discharged to 30V. The fixed discharge time of the instrument is 0.2S to ensure the
discharge of the device is completed.
2.5Handling for Dangerous State of Faulty Tester
Typical possible dangerous conditions of the instrument are described below, the most dangerous of
which is the occurrence of “high voltage at the output and the instrument is out of control”. When this
happens, please immediately turn OFF the power switch and unplug the AC power cable from the AC
line receptacle.
Immediately keep far away from the instrument and confirm no risk of the test circuit by the technical
personnel; or keep the instrument still for more than one hour and confirm no output voltage in the
test terminal.
Remove the relevant connecting lines and send the instrument back to us for maintenance.
！
Warning：
Keep away from the instrument after turning off the power and prevent other people
from approaching. Do not immediately disassemble the test circuit. Immediately call our
distributor or agent.
High voltage may remain in the interior of the instrument. It is hazardous for an
unqualified person to attempt to troubleshoot any tester problem.

◇11
2.6Conditions for ensuring long-time trouble-free working
Due to the dimension, weight, and actual use of the instrument, the voltage generation module of the
instrument has a small heat dissipation design. Therefore, the instrument is recommended for use in
the following ranges. If the fan has been in continuous operation for 30 minutes, the instrument must
be suspended; otherwise the amplifier output module may burn out due to overheating.

3.4 Instrument Performance Overview
The TH9010/A can provide 8/4 parallel test withstand voltage units, and the test units are independent
of each other. The 8/4 unit means 8/4 times the safety test speed.
TH90101/A scan controller can extend 4 scan channels per test unit, and the TH9010/A can control
up to 4 units. Used to connect test products with test endpoints no larger than 16. By connecting the
matching test fixtures, the multi-parameter test can be completed once the product is placed.
The output of each test unit is the same: 5kVAC/10mA withstand voltage, 6kVDC/5mA withstand
voltage, 1kVDC/5mA insulation resistance test.

Because one point in the test low end of each unit structure is connected to the ground. Current is
collected between the low end of the test and ground. The current loop of the high voltage of
adjacent units can be achieved through the low end of the other units. The effect of this current on
the measurement is as follows:
1. This current flows through the current sample, the current sample value of this path is counted.
2. This current is the ground current, two loop ground current misjudgments occur when GFI is
turned on.
3. This current is too large to cause SHORT protection of the high voltage source and current

Insulation resistance test 0.050kV to 1.000kV (1V resolution) / 0.1MΩ to 10.0GΩ, the
maximum rated current is 5mA
Insulation resistance test range:
When the voltage is less than 500V: 0.1MΩ ~ 100MΩ Accuracy is ± [10% reading + 5 digits]
When the voltage is greater than 500V: 1MΩ ~ 100MΩ range accuracy is ± (5% reading + 5
digits), 100MΩ ~ 1GΩ range accuracy is ±(10% reading + 5 digits).
Open short circuit detection:Before starting high voltage, please determine whether or
the DUT is reliable connected, to ensure that the high voltage test is accurate and safe.
Open short circuit detection can determine the distributed impedance current above 100PF, less
than this value; the resolution of the current acquisition circuit of the instrument cannot
accurately distinguish the open circuit and the test component connection.

AC withstand voltage test, and insulation resistance test can be remotely controlled. Test
results can also be read from behind through remote control. The USB and RS-232C
interfaces provide a stable and standardized standard test interface with PCs or other devices.
HANDLER interface for easy connection control
HANDLER interface: You can input START, STOP signal, and output TEST, PASS, FAIL
signals. Can be connected to the foot switch easily, connect with simple test fixtures for safety
interlocks, pneumatic controls, test indications, and more. Internal or external 24V power
supply can be used as the output interface power supply for easy control and connection.
USB interface for backup
The instrument is equipped with a USB interface, which can save the test files written by the
instrument and customer measurement files to an external USB flash drive, or load the files
from a USB to the instrument to conveniently set the usage parameters and archiving scheme
of the instrument in batches.
Test waiting time setting
The test waiting time can be set from 0.1s to 999.9s with a resolution of 0.1s. During this time,
the instrument will output a test control signal to control the external device to ensure reliable
test connection, and then start the high voltage test process.
Rise time control function
In AC withstand voltage test, DC withstand voltage test and insulation resistance test, the test
voltage can slowly rise to the set value instead of providing the set voltage to the DUT
immediately after starting the test. The voltage rise timecan be set from 0.1s to 999.9s with a
resolution of 0.1s. TH9010 series meets various UL test standards and IEC withstand voltage
test standards. (Rise time can be specified when the initial voltage is less than half of the test
voltage and when the set test voltage is reached).
Drop time control function
In the qualification judgment of the AC withstand voltage test, the test voltage can be
gradually reduced. The voltage drop time can be set between 0.1s and 999.9s with a resolution
of 0.1s.
Discharge function
Usually the tested part is capacitive. At the moment when the DC withstand voltage test and
the insulation resistance test are cut off, the DUT remains fully charged, therefore there is a
danger of electric shock. The TH9010 series has a forced fast discharge function on the DUT
after the DC withstand voltage test and insulation resistance test are completed.
Enhanced security
For improving safety, the TH9010 Series is equipped with many facilities and safety features,
include safety outputs, discharge function and ground current detection. The so-called ground
current detection is that when the return current of the ground high voltage test circuit is
greater than 0.5mA through the chassis, high voltage output is cut off.
