LAYOUT This section looks at a SA-2000 layout and gives descriptions of the elements that are present. The user controls all Analyzer functions via 6 light touch keys. There is an audio click when any key is depressed, while a “Razz” or error tone consisting of a rapid succession of beeps is sounded if an invalid key is depressed.

SA-2000-INTL Layout SA-2000-AUS Layout The SA-2000-INTL and SA-2000-AUS Model Layouts are shown above, note that the only differences from the standard model are the Line cords and the DUT test Receptacles. Note: The RS-232 connector isn’t shown above for these two models, but is an available option for both (see previous section).

Analyzer model. SA-2000 models use a NEMA 5-15P plug designed to plug into a NEMA 5-15R or 5-20R Receptacle. SA-2000-INTL models have a short IEC C20 plug for which a country-specific adapter cable must be connected – See the following section for this information.

Adapter Cable with Standard Product Plug and Required International Connector (See Options Below) Universal Power Cord which Connects to Standard Product Plug Communications (Optional) On Analyzer models with the –R option, a DB-9 RS-232 Communications port is provided to interface the analyzer with a PC. Data from the Analyzer display may be transferred over this communications link as well as full control over all analyzer functions and settings.
TESTING The Model SA-2000 allows the user a great deal of flexibility in testing. Several basic tests can be run, and in almost any sequence. The information in this section presents a systematic approach that is just one way to proceed. It is only presented as a guide and it is the responsibility of the user to establish which tests are required.

Enclosure Leakage With the Enclosure function selected, the display will show the leakage current between the Enclosure (Chassis) and Earth/Ground. The display is in µAmps and will read from 0 to 1999. The test requires that the Chassis Test lead be plugged into the Chassis Connector. The other end should be connected to a solid ground point on the DUT.
COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL The communication protocol provides a means to completely configure and use the Analyzer from a PC or other device with RS-232 communications interface. This provides for hands free or automated operation of the equipment. Communication Port The Serial port is configured as 115,200 Baud Rate, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit, and No Parity.
