1. Help/Support Cirris 3300 Series testers will help ensure the quality of your cables. The tester will safely check electrical connections in your device for accuracy in minimal time. For assistance with your Cirris test system, you may: ● Visit www.cirris.com/learning-center to read articles on Cirris software and other testing subjects. -
Page 4: Safety
Intended Use Your 3300 Series tester is intended to be used indoors at a temperature of 50 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (10 to 40 degrees Celsius). Best performance can be obtained at a relative humidity of less than 70%. Insulation Resistance measurements will degrade at over 70% relative humidity. -
Page 5: Medical Warning
A child or individual wearing a cardiac pacemaker, an insulin pump, or any electronic controlled medical device should NOT perform high voltage testing. Manual Handling Before lifting or carrying the tester, Cirris recommends removing all wires and cables from the front connectors. Be sure the power cord is unplugged when moving the tester. User Precautions Cirris provides safety switches and other tools to keep operators safe during high voltage testing. -

● The other senses voltage (referred to as “sense”) For the purpose of four-wire testing using the 3300 Series, test points are considered either Type 1 (T1) or Type 2 (T2) points. Each four-wire pair from the tester must have one of each point. The tester uses T1 points as either force or sense; it uses T2 points as the compliment. - Page 9 On a 3300 Series tester, you can tell which type each test point is by probing the point while setting up a Learn. 1. From the Main Menu, press Create New. 2. From the Learn menu, press Learn/Test Settings, then press Components.

6. Test Program Basics Create a New Test Program A test program must be created before testing a cable. This is done by attaching a known-good sample cable to the tester, adjusting the test settings, and performing a Learn. The tester will create a list of test instructions based on the specified settings and the Learn. -

Edit a Test Program Load an existing test program and select Edit. The options allowed for revision are the same as those explained in the following sections. Components cannot be revised at this point. If you need to revise components, you will need to create a new test program. Note: It is possible to create a test program using a text editor on a computer. -
Page 14: Start Conditions
With digital I/O, the tester can start a test based on input from an external switch, such as a foot pedal. The tester can also output information to devices such as LEDs. The digital I/O port is located on the back of the tester. The pinout is as follows: Cirris 3300 Series User Manual... -

Page 16: Low Voltage
● The following graphic shows how component LV settings define errors for intended connections if there are com- ponents in the test. This value has no impact on whether an intended connection passes or fails, but does influence whether a failing connection is labeled as High Resistance or Open. Cirris 3300 Series User Manual... -
Page 17: Intermittents Test
● As shown in the graphic below, the Component Resistance value has no impact on the shorts test. Intermittents Test An intermittents test repeatedly performs a low voltage test to give the operator time to catch problems that might be intermittent. The operator can move the cable around to catch intermittent failures such as loose connections. -
Page 18: High Voltage (Hipot) - 3350 Only
WARNING! High-Speed Mode with highly capacitive devices can slow testing. Highly capacitive nets may cause over- current failures, meaning the nets will need to be tested individually. This could cause the test to slow down significantly. Cirris 3300 Series User Manual... -
Page 19: Dielectric Withstand Test
Dielectric Withstand Test In a Dielectric Withstand test (DW test), a voltage much higher than the normal operating voltage is applied between points on the device-under-test. This ensures the wire insulation can withstand a higher amount of voltage (such as a surge) without failing. -

If you need additional help, contact Cirris Technical Support at techsupport@cirris.com or 1-800-441-9910. ■ A high percentage of tests fail Too many tests failing could be caused by several possibilities. ● Error in the Learned device: If a bad cable (meaning a cable with mistakes or defects) is used as the primary cable to create the test program, then all good cables will fail because they are tested using bad test instructions. -

IR Settings may be based on any of the following factors: ● Contamination: Consider lowering the IR threshold if your DUT has issues such as fingerprints and mold release. ● Humidity: A humid environment can aggravate the effects of contamination between contacts and affect insulation. Cirris 3300 Series User Manual... - Page 33 ■ Duration ● The default setting for this parameter of 0.010 seconds (10 milliseconds) should be adequate to test most cables. A longer duration will increase the total high voltage test time. ● A shorter Duration with a shorter soak time or not having soak time is more likely to fail due to humidity related problems since absorbed moisture may not have time to be “dried out”...

● This error could also be caused when the tester was charging the net or point given in the error message and the ca- pacitance in the DUT was too high. A limit is in place to ensure safety while testing, so testing is immediately halted when the limit is reached. Cirris 3300 Series User Manual... - Page 35 Dielectric Failure Error: ● An arc occurred during the high voltage test of the net or point given in the error message. This error will occur any- time the current exceeds the ‘DW Max Current’ test setting. ● This error most often occurs in pairs – that is two different nets will fail. This generally means that the arc is occurring between these two nets.
