● Newly developed constant-voltage output for stable testing The TOS5200 is not affected by AC line interference. Because the output voltage is main- tained at a fixed value even if the AC line voltage or frequency changes, stable tests can be performed even in locations where the power supply is unstable.
Page 15
● Protection against incorrect operations In addition to the key lock feature, the TOS5200 has a protection cover for the part of its panel that is used to change test conditions. This cover is useful in preventing incorrect operations when you want to perform tests with fixed conditions.
Options The following options are available for the TOS5200. For information about options, contact your Kikusui agent or distributor. Rack mount option Name Model Note KRA4-TOS For EIA inch racks Rack mount adapter KRA200-TOS For JIS millimeter racks KRA4-TOS Model RC01-TOS/RC02-TOS remote control box The remote control box can be used to start and stop withstanding voltage test.

If the supplied power cord cannot be used because the rated voltage or the plug shape is incompatible, have a qualified engineer replace it with an appropriate power cord that is 3 m or less in length. If obtaining a power cord is difficult, contact your Kikusui agent or dis- tributor.
Even when the cover is attached, you can still recall settings from memory, start and stop tests, perform remote operations, and control the TOS5200 through its USB port. If the tester will be used to repeatedly perform tests with fixed conditions, such as when being used as part of a manufacturing line, attach the protection cover to ensure safe operation of the tester.
When the TOS5200 is turned on, a self-test is run, and all the indicators on the front panel light. To ensure safety, check that all the indicators light before you use the TOS5200. It is especially dangerous to use the tester if its DANGER LED is broken.
Connect the included SIGNAL I/O plug to the SIGNAL I/O connector. Connecting the SIGNAL I/O plug will release the interlock feature. Press the ( ) side of the POWER switch to turn the TOS5200 on. Check the firmware version (Ver x.xx) that is displayed on the screen.
This is dangerous, so be sure to connect the DUT correctly. • Be sure to connect the low-voltage test lead (black) first. Check that the POWER switch is off and that the DANGER LED is off. TOS5200 POWER OUTPUT DANGER Check that there are no tears or breaks in the test lead insulation.

● During testing, do not turn the POWER switch off except in an emergency. Testing Precautions During testing, the TEST and DANGER LEDs light. When these LEDs are lit, the TOS5200 is generating a high voltage. During testing, be sure to wear rubber gloves for electrical work. If obtaining these gloves is difficult, contact your Kikusui agent or distributor.
Remote Control Precautions When you are controlling the TOS5200 remotely, external signals are used to turn the high voltage on and off. To prevent accidents, follow the safety measures given below. ● Make sure that high voltages are not generated unintentionally.
• For repairs, contact your Kikusui agent or distributor. If the TOS5200 is in one of the states explained below, it may be malfunctioning in a very dangerous manner—it may not be possible to turn off the high voltage that is being gener- ated.

• Keep the signal wire at least 500 mm away from the high-voltage test lead and the DUT. • Do not short the output voltage circuit. • If you use the TOS5200 with incomplete connections, burn outs caused by heating may occur when the output is turned on.

By using the interlock feature, you can control the TOS5200 output from an external source. This ensures safe operation of the tester. The first time that you turn the POWER switch on after you purchase the TOS5200, the tester p. 22 will be in PROTECTION mode through the interlock feature.
When SIGNAL I/O connector pins 1 and 13 are opened, the interlock feature is enabled. When the pins are shorted, the interlock feature is released. When the interlock feature is active, the TOS5200 is in PROTECTION mode. To release the interlock feature, connect the included SIGNAL I/O plug to the rear-panel SIGNAL I/O con- nector.

Taking size, weight, and cost into consideration, the heat dissipation capability of the voltage generator that is used for withstanding voltage tests has been designed to be one half that of the rated output. Use the TOS5200 within the following limits. If you use the product in a manner that exceeds these limits, the output section may overheat, and the internal protection circuits may be activat- ed.
The test ends when the specified time elapses. Output voltage monitor feature If output voltage exceeds “setting + 350 V” or is lower than “setting - 350 V,” the TOS5200 (Volt Error) switches to PROTECTION mode, output is turned off, and testing finishes.
