Programming A Dc Hipot Test - QuadTech Sentry Plus Series Instruction Manual

2.6

Programming a DC Hipot Test

This test is applicable to the Sentry 20 and 30 Plus instruments. With the instrument in 'stand-
by' status, press [F1] = PROGRAM. If continuing the 5-step example from ¶2.5, you are already
in program mode and on the AC test mode page. The example illustrated herein shows a GC test
as Step 1, an AC test as Step 2 and how to program a DC test in Step 3. Follow the
(!) on the right side of this diagram to program the individual DC hipot test parameters.
