    GROUND BOND OUTPUTS: Output channels for application of high current for Ground Bond tests. These outputs are only available on SC6540 Scanners that are configured with a Ground Bond Module. SCANNER BUS OUTPUT: Interconnect port for the control cable to another SC6540 in a multiple SC6540 system.
  • Page 4 BACK PANEL CONTROLS (Master Scanner, HGM, Back Panel) BUS INTERFACE: Standard connector for interconnection to the USB/RS-232 Bus interface. Optional IEEE-488 interface or Ethernet Interface may be substituted for the USB/RS-232. FUSE RECEPTACLE: To change the fuse, unplug the power (mains) cord and turn the fuse receptacle counter-clockwise.
  • Page 5 SCANNING CONFIGURATIONS The SC6540 is available in two basic configurations according to how it sends and/or receives data: a master and a slave. A master Scanner can only be controlled remotely via a PC. A slave Scanner can be controlled locally by an Associated Research testing instrument or by a master Scanner.

  • Page 7 CONNECTIONS WARNING: UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS HIGH VOLTAGE CAN APPEAR ON THE CABINET OF THE SC6540. THE GROUND TERMINAL ON THE REAR PANEL OF THE SC6540 MUST BE CONNECTED TO A GOOD EARTH GROUND TO ENSURE OPERATOR SAFETY. CAUTION: MULTIPLE HIGH VOLTAGE OR CONTINUITY CURRENT CHANNELS CAN BE SET TO ACTIVATE SIMULTANEOUSLY.
  • Page 8 OPERATING THE SC6540 WITH HYPOTULTRA (Continued) SETUP The SC6540 Scanner channels can be set as High (H) for High Voltage or Continuity testing output, Low (L) for the Return connection, or Open (O) for OFF. Channel setup is done using the HypotULTRA menu or accompanying automation software.
  • Page 9 OPERATING THE SC6540 WITH HYPOTULTRA (Continued) OPERATION Once the SC6540 is incorporated into a test system, it will act as an extension of the HypotULTRA. The outputs will only activate while a test is being performed and will deactivate when the test is not running. When a failure is detected, the test will stop, the output will be deactivated and the HypotULTRA will give a visual and audible indication of failure.
  • Page 10 ® GROUND BOND CONNECTIONS The rear panel of the SC6540 can include up to 16 output terminals for Ground Bond testing if this configuration is selected at the time of purchase. *We recommend using standard 12 gauge wire for operation at 30 amps, and 10 gauge wire for 40 amps.

  • Page 14 OPERATING THE SC6540 WITH LINECHEK 620L SETUP This option allows the 620L to be connected to an Associated Research SC6540 Modular Scanning Matrix, model HN. With this option installed and a Scanner connected to the Scanner control bus on the rear of the instrument, the 620L and accompanying Scanner can be used for multi-point Line Leakage testing.
  • Page 15 CONNECTIONS OPERATING THE SC6540 WITH LINECHEK 620L (Continued) OPERATION Within the Line Leakage Edit screen on the 620L, the “Scanner Select” parameter (soft key) will automatically appear when the highlighted cursor moves to the Scanner Setup area using the Up and Down Arrow keys or Enter key.
