1. Introduction 1.1. Warranty Policies EXTECH ELECTRONICS CO., LTD., 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 Taiwan. Your new instrument is warranted to be free from defects in workmanship and material for a period of (2) years from date of shipment.
1.2. Safety Symbols 1.2.1. Product Marking Symbols Product will be marked with this symbol when it is necessary to refer to the operation and service manual in order to prevent injury or equipment damage. Product will be marked with this symbol when hazardous voltages may be present.

milliamperes, microamperes, nanoamperes, or picoamperes. Symbol = I Dielectric: An insulating material that is positioned between two conductive materials in such a way that a charge or voltage may appear across the two conductive materials. Direct Current, DC: Current that flows in one direction only. The source of direct current is said to be polarized and has one terminal that is always at a higher potential than the other.
Return: The path by which current returns to a source. RMS: The Root Mean Squared value of a voltage or current waveform. An RMS waveform delivers the same amount of energy to a load as a DC waveform of the same value.
Page 9
Service Interval The instrument, its power cord, test leads, and accessories must be returned at least once a year to an Extech authorized service center for calibration and inspection of safety related components. Extech will not be held liable for injuries suffered if the instrument is not properly maintained and safety checked annually.

1.4.5. Device Under Test Never touch the Device Under Test (DUT) or anything connected to it while high voltage is being applied by the hipot. When testing with DC, always discharge the capacitance of the item under test and anything the high voltage may have contacted–such as test fixtures–before handling it or disconnecting the test leads.

on every item as it comes off the production line. The hipot tester must also maintain an output voltage between 100% and 120% of specification. The output voltage of the hipot must have a sinusoidal waveform with a frequency between 40 to 70 Hz and has a peak waveform value that is not less than 1.3 and not more than 1.5 times the root-mean-square value.
Page 15
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 One disadvantage of AC testing surfaces when testing capacitive products. Again, since AC cannot charge the item under test, reactive current is constantly flowing.

to AC. When performing AC hipot tests the product under test is actually tested with peak voltages that the hipot meter does not display. This is not the case with DC testing since a sinewave is not generated when testing with direct current. In order to compensate for this most safety agencies require that the equivalent DC test be performed at higher voltages than the AC test.
Page 17
Compliance agency requirements vary on how different products are to be tested. Most specifications call for test currents of between 10 and 30 amps. Test voltages at these currents are typically required to be less than 12 volts. Maximum allowable resistance readings of the safety ground circuit are normally between 100 and 200 milliohms.
(MD). The instrument has five different MD circuits, selectable through the menu, which are representative circuits designed to simulate the impedance of the human body under different conditions. The impedance of the human body will vary depending upon point of contact, the surface area of the contact and the path the current flows.

7.4. Fatal Error The only active button or key in this situation is the RESET button. The only reason the RESET button is active is to allow you to silence the alarm and open the fail relay. This type of failure permanently locks the instrument in the “Fatal Error” mode and requires that the instrument be serviced by Extech.
8. Connection of Remote I/O Two 9-pin “D” type connectors are mounted on the rear panel that provide REMOTE-INPUT-OUTPUT control and information. These connectors mate with standard 9 pin D-sub-miniature connector provided by the user. The output mates to a male (plug) connector while the input mates to a female (receptacle) connector. For best performance, a shielded cable should be used.

9. Bus Remote Interface GPIB / RS-232 (Option) This section provides information on the proper use and configuration of bus remote interface. The RS-232 interface also uses the same command set as the GPIB interface for setting of test parameters. However, many functions of the GPIB 488.2 interface are not available through RS-232.
Interface Management Lines: Five lines are used to manage the flow of information across the interface. ATN (attention) ATN is driven true by the controller when it uses the data lines to send commands, and drivers ATN false when a Talker can send data messages. IFC (interface clear) IFC is driven by the system controller to initialize the bus and become CIC.
9.6. Interface Functions The capability of a device connected to the bus is specified by its interface functions. These functions provide the means for a device to receive, process, and send messages over the bus. The interface functions are listed in the chart below. GPIB 488.1 INTERFACE FUNCTIONS Interface Function Subset...
DTR (pin 4), DSR (pin 6) CTS (pin 8) and RTS (pin 7). If the port cannot be configured through software to ignore the lines then the handshake lines should be jumpered together in two different sets. Pins 4 and 6 jumpered together and pins 7 and 8 jumpered together at the controller end of the cable.

TEST Starts the test sequence at the selected memory location that has been loaded into the instruments memory (RAM). RESET Stop or abort a test. Also used to reset a latched failure condition. SACG Set the Charge-LO parameter for the DCW test. The cables and any test fixture should be connected before executing the command.

If you wish to set the Ramp-UP time of the test across the IEEE bus at 10 seconds, do the following, send the string "ERU 10.00". This tells the instrument to set the Ramp-UP time at 10.00 seconds. To read the live testing data, first send the string "TD?" then send the GPIB command to read.
10. Options GPIB Interface This option may be substituted for the RS232 interface. This option provides all of the function control of the RS232 interface with the addition of SRQ functions. All commands can be found in section 9. Bus Remote Interface GPIB/RS-232 of this manual.
