Condensed Operating - QuadTech Guardian 2500 Series Instruction Manual

Condensed Operating Instructions
Installation and Power Up
1. Use of this Condensed Operating procedure assumes the operator is somewhat familiar with
electrical safety testing and the safety precautions associated with it.
2. The Guardian 2500 should be unpacked from its shipping container. The original carton and
packing material should be retained in case it becomes necessary to return the instrument
back to the factory for service or calibration at a later date.
3. Install the 2500 in an isolated work area appropriately marked for High Voltage Testing.
4. Connect the power cord (female end) to the AC inlet module on the rear panel of the
instrument. Connect the other end (male end) to the power receptacle. The instrument is to
be used only with three wire grounded outlets.
5. Apply power to the Guardian 2500 by pressing the front panel POWER switch to ON (1
position).
6. The instrument performs a self test and will momentarily display the instrument model
number and software version, for example:
7. The display will then indicate the power up default test, which is the last test performed
before the instrument was powered down. Note the message "Idle" in the upper right
display, this area always indicates the instrument status.
Selecting Test Conditions
The Guardian 2500 contains memory for storing predefined test conditions. 1 thru 25 are user
defined setups, (see paragraph 2.5.2 for factory settings) and S1 thru S9 are sequential test
setups. A sequential test can consist of any combination (up to 3) of user setups. A quick start up
is usually performed by recalling or programming modification of setup, see examples in the
next paragraphs.
