SAFETY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS REQUIRED FOR HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING! GENERAL: This product and its related documentation must be reviewed for familiarization with safety markings and instructions before operation. This product is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with a protective earth terminal). Before applying power verify that the instrument is set to the correct line voltage (115 or 230) and the correct fuse is installed.
Page 9
The instrument and its power cord, test leads, and accessories must be returned at least once a year to a Slaughter Company authorized service center for calibration and inspection of safety related components. Slaughter Company will not be held liable for injuries suffered if the instrument is not returned for its annual safety check and maintained properly.

SAFETY If benches are placed back-to-back, be especially careful about the use of the bench opposite the test station. Signs should be posted: "DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE TEST IN PROGRESS - UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL KEEP AWAY." Power Dielectric Voltage-Withstand Test Equipment must be connected to a good ground. Be certain that the power wiring to the test bench is properly polarized and that the proper low resistance bonding to ground is in place.

SAFETY Dress Operators should not wear jewelry which could accidentally complete a circuit. Medical Restrictions This instrument should not be operated by personnel with heart ailments or devices such as pacemakers. TEST PROCEDURES !NEVER PERFORM A HIPOT TEST ON ENERGIZED CIRCUITRY OR EQUIPMENT! If the instrument has an external safety-ground connection be sure that this is connected.
INTRODUCTION GLOSSARY OF TERMS (as used in this manual) Alternating Current, AC: Current which reverses direction on a regular basis, commonly in the U.S.A. 60 times per second, in other countries 50 times per second. Breakdown: The failure of insulation to effectively prevent the flow of current, sometimes evident by arcing.

INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The importance of testing... User safety In an era of soaring liability costs, original manufacturers of electrical and electronic products must make sure every item is as safe as possible. All products must be designed and built to prevent electric shock, even when users abuse the equipment or bypass built in safety features.
Page 14
INTRODUCTION However, specific products may be tested at much higher voltages than 2X operating voltages + 1,000 volts. For example, a product designed to operate in the range between 100 to 240 volts, can be tested between 1,000 to 4,000 volts or higher. Most "double insulated"...

INTRODUCTION sensitive to a sudden application of voltage the operator can immediately apply full voltage and read current without any wait time. Another advantage of AC testing is that since AC voltage cannot charge a load there is no need to discharge the item under test after the test. AC testing disadvantages A key disadvantage of AC testing surfaces when testing capacitive products.
Page 16
INTRODUCTION Since a DC hipot does charge the item under test it becomes necessary to discharge the item after the test. DC testing unlike AC testing only charges the insulation in one polarity. This becomes a concern when testing products that will actually be used at AC voltages. This is a key reason that some safety agencies do not accept DC testing as an alternative to AC.

INTRODUCTION measured value represents the equivalent resistance of all the insulation which exists between the two points and any component resistance which might also be connected between the two points. Although the IR test can be a predictor of insulation condition, it does not replace the need to perform a Dielectric Withstand test.

SPECIFICATIONS KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS OF MODELS 2925, 2935, and 2945 1. No load setup of trip current and output voltage. This provides the operator with an easy and safe way to set trip currents and output voltages since parameters are set without the high voltage activated.

SPECIFICATIONS 11. Software calibration control. The 2900 family of Hipots is calibrated through the front panel keypad. All calibration information is stored in non-volatile memory. This allows the instrument to be completely calibrated without removing any covers and exposing the technician to hazardous voltages.

SPECIFICATIONS 20. Insulation Resistance Test Mode * This allows the operator to perform an Insulation Resistance test independently or in sequence with the Dielectric Withstand (Hipot) test, thus eliminating the need for a separate piece of test equipment when IR testing is required. 21.

OPERATION The following describes how the relays operate for each test condition. PROCESSING - The relay contact closes the connection between pin (1) and pin (4) while the instrument is performing a test. The connection is opened at the end of the test. PASS - The relay contact closes the connection between pin (6) and pin (7) after detecting that the item under test passed all tests.
