Page 5: Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Warranty Policies Associated Research, Inc., certifies that the instrument listed in this manual meets or exceeds published manufacturing specifications. This instrument was calibrated using standards that are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Your new instrument is warranted to be free from defects in workmanship and material for a period of (3) year from the date of shipment. -
Page 6: Safety Symbols
Operator Modifications Any non-authorized modifications, tampering or physical damage will void this warranty. Elimination of any connections in the earth grounding system or bypassing any safety systems will void this warranty. This warranty does not cover accessories not of Associated Research, Inc. manufacture. Parts used must be parts that are recommended by Associated Research, Inc. - Page 7 Alternating Current, AC: Current that reverses direction on a regular basis. Utility power is usually generated in the form of a sinusoid at a frequency of 60 times per second in the United States and 50 times per second in other countries. Arc: A partial momentary breakdown due to the force of a strong electric field on closely spaced conductors, sometimes evidenced by corona or a luminous flashover.

Page 8: Safety
PF (Power factor): Power Factor = W/VA where W =Watts (Real Power) and VA =Volts x Amps (apparent power). It is important to note that the closer the power factor is to "1" the more resistive the DUT is. The closer the power factor is to 0 the more reactive (inductive or capacitive) the DUT is. Reactive Current: The current component due to the reactive impedance of a load. -
Page 9: Test Station
To prevent electric shock do not remove the instrument cover. There are no internal user serviceable parts. Routine maintenance or cleaning of internal parts is not necessary. Avoid the use of cleaning agents or chemicals on the instrument, as some chemicals may damage plastic parts or lettering. -

Page 39: Connection Of Remote I/O
6. CONNECTION OF REMOTE I/O Two 9 pin D-type connectors mounted on the rear panel provide REMOTE-INPUT- OUTPUT control and information. These connectors mate with a standard 9 pin D- type subminiature connector provided by the user. The output mates to a male (plug) connector while the input mates to a female (receptacle) connector. - Page 40 the RESET function is activated. This can be used to abort a Hipot test while the units are interfaced as a test system. The START OUT gives a momentary output pulse that can be used to start a Hipot test. These are normally open free contacts and will not provide any voltage or current.

Page 41: Signal Inputs Of Remote I/O And Memory Access
6.2. Signal Inputs and Memory Access The HYAMP III remote connector enables remote operation of the TEST, RESET, and REMOTE INTERLOCK functions, and allows the operator to select Memory Location 1, 2, and 3. When the PLC Remote mode is on, the HYAMP III will respond to simple switch or relay contacts closures. - Page 42 Memory Location 3 – Momentarily connecting terminal 7 to terminals 8 and 9 signals the instrument to immediately begin the test program that is stored in Memory Location 3. Remote Interlock HYAMP III is equipped with a Remote Interlock feature. Remote Interlock utilizes a set of closed contacts to enable the instrument’s output.
