If damage is discovered during unpacking, contact the responsible transportation company immediately. Request a written loss assessment and make them responsible for the damage. We also refer to the ’General Terms of Sales and Delivery’ of: BAUR Prüf- und Messtechnik GmbH, A-6832 Sulz / Austria...
3. Power supply / Power selection 3. Power supply / Power selection The unit is factory-set to 220 -230 V. If the unit is operated under different power, remove power cord and open cover of voltage selector using a small screwdriver. Now the voltage selector drum can be withdrawn and inserted again after selecting.
4. Setting into operation 4.1 Setting into operation The PGK 25 is designed in such a way, that no output current is generated which could be harmful in case of body contact. In the process of testing capacitive type test objects however, dangerous charges may occur.
4.2 Plotter connector It is possible to plot the test current as function of time to a external plotter via the plotter connector (10) of the PGK 25. The output voltage is function of the current range (4) 200mV at full-...
5. Guard Connection 5. Guard Connection General Starting with series 16 of the PGK 25, a Guard connection is provided as an option. With the feature, a variety of measurements jobs can be performed where the connections for the shield and current measuring terminal are separately mounted.
5. Guard Connection Current measuring device Shield The current measuring device of the PGK 25 has 5 measuring ranges from 1 µA to 10 mA. Due to the separately mounted connectors for shield and current measuring terminal M, spurious currents can be excluded from measurements.
5. Guard Connection Application Shield of test object Guard connected to earth Station earth Insulation test between a conductor and the shield. The insulation currents between the conductors will be ignored.
