Page 193: Chapter 8 Controlling The Tos6200
Chapter 8 Controlling the TOS6200 This chapter describes the procedure for using the tester to control Kikusui’s earth continuity tester TOS6200 via the RS-232C interface. This control function is used to recall and execute the test conditions stored in the TOS6200’s memory by executing the tester’s program.
Page 194: Pre-Control Preparation
It is necessary to preset test conditions for the TOS6200 in panel memory. In the TOS6200, memories 1 through 18 contain factory settings that conform to the relevant safety standards. To add new test conditions, use memories 19 through 99. TOS9213S/ TOS9213AS...

Page 202: Cleaning
• Tearing and breakage of the cable coating may lead to electric shock and fire. In such a case, immediately discontinue use of the tester. To purchase accessories, contact Kikusui distributor/agent. ■ AC Power cord Check for tears in the cable coating, looseness and fracture of the plug, and break- age of the cable.
Page 203: Maintenance
Maintenance WARNING • To replace components, the tester cover must be opened, but only by our service representative. Contact your Kikusui agent/distributor if it is neces- sary to perform replacement work. ■ High-voltage relay The high-voltage relays inside the tester are consumable. Although service life depends on the usage environment, we recommend that the high-voltage relays be replaced every one million tests.
