Since any electrical equipment can be hazardous, all procedures described should be conducted by qualified personnel familiar with safety rules applying to electrical equipment and who have been thoroughly instructed as to the nature of the procedure, the hazards involved, and the necessary safety precautions. Defects and weaknesses in the electrical insulation system must be detected to insure that the product is safe for use by the consumer. In most windings there are two basic types of insulation systems. The ground insulation separates the windings from a magnetic core material or an exposed conductive frame or exterior. The second insulation system is the wire insulation, which in lower voltage windings is typically a thin film coating the wire. These two insulation systems perform different functions in the winding and require different tests to evaluate their integrity. The Dielectric Withstand Test is used to evaluate the ground insulation system. This test has been described by many names; Hi-pot Test, Dielectric Withstand Test, Insulation Leakage and Breakdown Test, Shorts Check, Ground Check and others. What ever the name, the purpose is to detect failure of the insulation system that separates the current carrying portions of an electrical device from any exposed conductive components. For operator safety reasons, and to avoid possible tester damage, the product under test SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED in any way to the AC power lines. WARNING Typically, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to establish the proper tests needed for a particular product to insure they comply with all agency requirements. INSTALLATION AND SAFETY For operator safety reasons, and to avoid possible tester damage, the product under test SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED in any way to the AC power lines. CAUTION When first received, unpack the equipment carefully and inspect for any hidden damage. If damage is evident, keep the carton and file a claim with the carrier. Packed with all Slaughter equipment is a certificate of conformance, operator’s manual, test leads and any required interface connectors. 2 INTRODUCTION To check the unit quickly, install any interface connectors, plug the unit into the proper voltage and follow the steps outlined under operating instructions. If the unit does not operate, contact the factory for instructions. Of prime consideration and importance in the layout and installation of a test station is to insure the safety both to the operator and any visitors or casual bystanders, invited or otherwise. As a general rule it is suggested that each test area be in a location with minimum distractions and not subject to extremes of temperature and moisture. One of the more important ways to promote safety is through operator training. Benefits of training are twofold. First, thorough training promotes safety which may significantly reduce injuries on the job. Second, it ensures adequate testing of the product which helps increase product reliability. Both of these can have a positive impact on profits. An additional consideration in any test station is operator comfort. This is affected by the operator’s position, which includes the chair, table, test equipment, the object under test and the test procedure itself. The chair and work bench or table should be nonconductive and the table as large as possible to allow sufficient room for the test equipment and the object under test. Studies should be made of the test requirements and work habits and steps taken to ensure that any unusual or unnatural motion is not required and to eliminate any repetitive motions that may produce injuries such as carpel tunnel syndrome. After the equipment has been installed, a careful study should be made of the test station to determine what, if any, safeguards are needed. It is suggested that any electrical test station involving voltages in excess of 42.4 volts peak (approximately 30 volts RMS) should be equipped with safeguards. These should operate both for the protection of the operating personnel and for the protection of casual bystanders. At the minimum, safeguards should prevent the operating personnel or casual bystanders from coming into contact with the test circuit. In the event electrical interlocks of any sort are required, either to insure that guards are in place, or to insure that the operator’s hands are in a safe location, the installer should refer to the proper schematic drawing and install these interlocks in series with the external interlock terminals provided in the tester. All testers may be safety interlocked with series manual or automatic safety switches, relays, etc. as desired. In the simpler units, this is done by inserting such interlocks in the AC supply ahead of the tester. In some units adapter plugs with remote interface controls are provided for this purpose. We will be happy to provide suggestions and schematics for safety interlocking our test equipment. Any electrical power receptacle utilized to operate this equipment must be a properly grounded three wire receptacle that has been checked for proper polarity. The test procedure should be well thought out to ensure that it adequately tests the product to the desired criteria but, that the procedure does not require the operator to perform tasks that are unsafe. The product should never be touched during a test and in 3 INTRODUCTION the case of a grounded part the conductive table or conveyor should not be touched during a test. Several models of high voltage test equipment are designed with the high voltage output “floating”. There is no ground on either the High side or the Low side of the high voltage transformer. One of the test leads of the HV transformer is considered the Low side due to the winding pattern of the transformer, but it is NOT grounded. This arrangement provides a one type of safety margin to the operator because someone must come in contact with both leads to receive a shock. Some models of test equipment have one lead of the output grounded or production requirements are such that it is impossible or impractical to test a product in an “ungrounded” configuration. When the tester and the product are grounded, it is important to remember that the operator is also grounded and need only touch the ungrounded lead to receive a shock. A major consideration in testing products that are “grounded” (touching a conductive conveyor or table) is to insure that the operator or bystanders cannot or will not come in contact with the table or conveyor during a test. Under some product failure conditions, the table or conveyor may become “live”and present a high voltage potential to true earth ground if the table or conveyor is not properly grounded. It should never be assumed that a conveyor or conductive table is “grounded”just because it is bolted to the floor. A proper ground is one that has been verified to return to the input power line ground (earth ground) with a resistance of less than ½ ohm. This will help eliminate “floating” grounds, ground loops and “phantom” voltages between the object under test and the tester case which is grounded to the power line ground. The testing of very large items such as recreational vehicles and mobile homes poses special problems because the safety hazards involved are considerably greater than those involved in testing smaller objects. This is because it is possible under fault conditions for the entire outer skin of the object being tested to become charged to a high voltage. This is particularly bad because these units are so large that the person conducting the test is in no position to observe whether or not any other people are in a potentially dangerous position during the test. If proper precautions are taken, there will be no hazard, but even so, it is highly desirable that care be taken to isolate the test object when a test is being conducted. Suggested methods of doing this are the use of rope barriers, warning signs, and fully enclosed test areas. Before conducting a test on these units, care should be taken to see that the frame and skin of the unit are connected to a solid ground, and also that the ground conductor of the electrical system is connected to a solid ground. This will eliminate most test hazards, but 4 INTRODUCTION bear in mind it is possible for some sections of the skin to have poor electrical connection and that they thereby, can become a potential safety hazard in the event of a fault. This is why isolation of the vehicle during the test is recommended. Once these safety precautions have been taken and it has been established that the frame and skin are properly grounded, the operator can proceed with the dielectric test. Good safety practice dictates labeling of hazards properly. Since high voltage testing can be hazardous, the work station should be labeled. Naturally, the location of the label should be carefully selected so that it can be placed in a location that will do the most good. In some cases, this may be on the test instrument itself, and in others, it may be in a location directly in front of the operator, somewhat removed from the instrument. A final word about high voltage testers. Generally, commercial high voltage test equipment is not in itself hazardous. The hazards come about when the equipment is improperly used. These testers, when used properly and in a safe manner, can be a check on the quality and reliability of your product. If used incorrectly and without proper consideration for safety, they represent a hazard for both operating personnel and casual bystanders. We strongly recommend proper training for all personnel involved in testing. High Voltage Testing High Voltage Testing has historically been the most mis-understood, mis-applied, misinterpreted inspection function in the average factory. Some manufacturers have looked upon the High Voltage Dielectric Withstand test or Hipot test as it is more commonly known, as an extra operation that must be performed to satisfy some agency requirement. Though many times the high voltage test is simply a safety measure, its value in quality control should not be overlooked. First and foremost, the hipot test is done to ensure the safety of customers by detecting “grounded” or “shorted” products. By applying a high voltage between “live” current carrying parts of the product and the framework which is normally supposed to be “dead,” or well insulated from the “live” parts, the product is “proof tested” against grounds or shorts which at the least might cause inconvenience and at the most can cause fire or injury. During the hipot test, all insulation is abnormally stressed for the duration of the test. Additionally, it is possible to detect “potential” shorts. Consider there is a bare conductor about .015”from the frame. In the factory, the product is clean and new, but after a year or two of service, contaminants, dust, and moisture may cause this gap to bridge at line voltage resulting in a shock hazard to the consumer. Secondly, hipot testing is done as a quality control measure. Incipient failures in the insulation of any portion of the product, whether due to workmanship, components or 5 INTRODUCTION materials are detected by the hipot test before the product is shipped out to cause inconvenience, dissatisfaction and expense in the field. The most often asked questions are, “Is hipot testing destructive?”and “Should I use AC or DC for the hipot test?” Today’s modern, commercially available high voltage production line testing equipment is generally not destructive. For most consumer product testing, testers have sufficient sensitivity and response time that short circuit currents can be held to non-destructive levels. The question of AC or DC is best answered by the question, “What do the specs say?” For the production hipot test, agency requirements almost invariably specify an AC test. Generally, AC hipot testing is considered by many to be more stressful to the insulation than DC hipot testing because of the periodic polarity reversal. Some believe AC testing tends to accelerate breakdown due to material flaws. During use, products are more likely to experience AC voltage transients than to experience DC voltage transients. Therefore, AC hipot tests provide more realistic conditions than DC hipot tests. The next most common question about hipot testing is, “How much voltage should I use?” Again, “What do the specs say?” As a rule-of-thumb, many applications will require 1000 volts plus twice the normal operating voltage for one minute. Increasing the test voltage by 20% usually allows the test time to be reduced to one second. Automotive products will generally specify 500 volts. Armatures are produced in both a “single insulated” and a “double insulated” configuration. With single insulated armatures, the commutator and windings are insulated from the iron stack and the shaft which, electrically speaking, are common. Double insulated armatures additionally have the iron stack insulated from the shaft. This provides “double insulation” between the current carrying components, the commutator and the windings, and any exposed dead metal components, normally the shaft. On single insulated armatures, the dielectric withstand test voltage is normally applied between the commutator and the shaft. Double insulated armatures, however, will normally have a dielectric withstand voltage applied between the commutator and the iron stack and another dielectric withstand voltage between the iron stack and the shaft. If these two voltages are applied simultaneously and the voltage sources are properly phased, a consequential voltage equal to their sum will be applied between the commutator and the shaft. 6 INTRODUCTION A hipot test attempts to detect or measure phenomena that indicate electrical problems such as leakage, breakdown and arcing. Leakage is a flow of current. Leakage becomes significant under two conditions. Any increase in resistive leakage is a “red flag” indication that quality in insulating materials used in the device has in some manner deteriorated. Total leakage becomes significant if it reaches such a level that it becomes perceptible to the user of the equipment. UL extensively researched the area of perception threshold and electrical shock. They found that, generally, “women are more sensitive to leakage current than men and a current flow of 0.5 milliamperes or less at 60 hertz does not produce a reaction which is considered to be hazardous to the individual or to those nearby.” Some leakage exists in any product, though, in many cases, it will be so minute to defy measurement. It exists for two reasons; first leakage current exists simply because no insulating materials are perfect and have infinite resistance. This is generally referred to as resistive leakage and can be calculated from Ohms Law, E=IR where E is the applied voltage, I is current flow in amperes and R is the resistance in ohms. Second, any electrical device, by virtue of the fact that it is made of conductive material with electrical circuits in close proximity, exhibits what can be called an “inherent capacity effect.” This is actually a capacity and, if we apply AC voltage, current will flow. This is generally referred to as capacitive leakage. The equivalent resistive value of the capacitance (Xc) may be calculated from the formula, Xc=1/(2πfC) where Xc is the equivalent resistance in ohms, f is frequency of the applied voltage in hertz and C is the capacitance in farads. The combination of these two components of leakage (figure 1.) is referred to as the total or complex leakage. I(c) I(c) = CAPACITIVE CURRENT I(r) = RESISTIVE CURRENT I(t) = TOTAL CURRENT I(t) I(r) Current Vector figure 1. 7 INTRODUCTION The capacitive leakage is an inherent characteristic of the device controlled primarily by design details. The resistive leakage is a characteristic of insulating materials used and the amount of resistive leakage is generally an indication of the quality of the insulation. This is particularly true when identical devices are being comparatively tested. Both capacitive and resistive leakage vary, almost linearly, with the applied test voltage. In the average electrical device during AC hipot tests, the resistive current flow is normally much smaller than the capacitive current flow, so changes in the resistive current do not have a significant effect on the total current. The capacitive current, however, is out of phase with the resistive current and can be cancelled in the measurement (figure 2.). With this type of test arrangement, the masking effect of the capacitive current is greatly reduced or eliminated and small variations in insulation resistance become detectable. RESISTIVE CURRENT CAPACITIVE CURRENT TOTAL CURRENT figure 2. Breakdown is also a flow of current. However the term is usually used to denote an actual insulation failure. It is readily distinguishable from leakage because the current does not vary linearly with the applied voltage, but instead rises suddenly when the critical or breakdown voltage is reached. Often, but not always, arcing is associated with breakdown. Arcing occurs in solids and liquids as well as gases. Arcing typically involves currents on the order of 0.4 amperes or more and indicates a potentially dangerous breakdown of insulation or abnormal current flows inside a device. The ability of high voltage test equipment to react to the excessive current flow or failure of the product under test is often referred to as “sensitivity.” 8 INTRODUCTION For many years, users of high potential (hipot) dielectric testers tolerated considerable sensitivity differences between individual testers. Products rejected by one tester might be accepted by another. If the two testers were distinctly different models or were made by different manufactures, the question of which tester to rely upon was a difficult one. Unfortunately, the tester chosen was sometimes the one that would accept the products. In a majority of these situations, the real problem was a lack of an acceptable standard for tester sensitivity. Many low cost production line testers in the past were essentially designed as “go/no-go”testers and sensitivity was often whatever was convenient for the manufacturer. The variance of the sensitivity curves between different manufacturers and different models was a major factor in U.L.’s (Underwriters Laboratories) move to try and standardize production line hipot test equipment sensitivity. These tester performance requirements have come to be commonly known as the “120 K requirement.” Unless the hipot tester was designed to meet the “120 K”specifications, it is unlikely that it will meet all of the requirements. The tester’s suitability must be verified. In general, the original U.L. “120 K”specifications require the tester to reject within .5 seconds when connected to an impedance of 120,000 (120 K) ohms at the specified testing voltage. Additionally, the output voltage sign wave tolerance is specified and the output voltage regulation is required to be -0%, +20%. Various agencies other than U.L. have their own versions of the “120 K” type specifications. As with all testing specifications, the manufacturer must ensure that they are in compliance with the latest testing requirements for their particular product.

The accuracy of an instrument is the extent to which the average of many measurements made by the instrument agrees with the true value or standard being measured. The difference between the average and the true value is the error. When this condition is a result of the measuring instrument, it is known as out of calibration. An instruments measuring accuracy must be considered over the whole range of the measuring instrument. This is often expressed as linearity. AVERAGE VOLTAGE is the sum of the instantaneous voltages in a half cycle wave shape divided by the number of instantaneous voltages. In a sine wave, the average voltage is equal to .637 times the peak voltage. EMF (electromotive force) is the energy per unit charge supplied by a source of electricity. Normally expressed in volts. The FULL SCALE VALUE is equal to the largest value of the actuating electrical quantity which can be indicated on the scale or, in the case of instruments having their zero between the ends of the scale, the full scale value is the arithmetic sum of the values of the two ends of the scale. IMPEDANCE is the apparent resistance, expressed in ohms, offered by an alternating current circuit to the passage of electrical energy. Since frequency is one of the factors affecting impedance, the frequency of applied energy must be specified. INDUCTANCE is the property of an electric circuit by which a varying current induces an emf in that circuit or a neighboring circuit. L = a²n²/(9a + 10b) a = coil radius in inches b = coil length in inches n = number of turns LOADED TEST(ing) VOLTAGE is the actual testing voltage developed across the load (product under test). This voltage will be lower than the open circuit voltage because of the internal impedance of the H.V. transformer and any series limit resistance of the tester. OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE is the output voltage of the tester prior to the connection of a load (product under test). PEAK VOLTAGE is the maximum value present in a varying or alternating voltage. This value may be either positive or negative. The peak value is equal to 1.414 (√2) times the R.M.S. value. 11 INTRODUCTION PRECISION or REPEATABILITY is the variation in readings obtained when repeating exactly the same measurement. The precision of an instrument is the ability to repeat a series of measurements on the same piece and obtain the same results for each measured value. The variation in the measured values can be expressed in terms of a standard deviation of the measuring error. The smaller the standard deviation, the more precise the instrument. Accuracy versus Precision: Confusion often exists between the terms accuracy and precision because the terms are often interchanged in their usage, but they are two different concepts. The accuracy of an instrument can be improved by recalibrating to reduce its error, but recalibrating generally does not improve an instrument’s precision. R.M.S. (ROOT MEAN SQUARE) is the square root of the mean of the instantaneous values squared. R.M.S. VOLTAGE is the effective value of a varying or alternating voltage. The effective value is that value which would produce the same power loss as if a continuous voltage were applied to a pure resistance. In sine wave voltages, the R.M.S. voltage is equal to .707 times the peak voltage. SENSITIVITY is the impedance through which a tester will detect a fault. Sensitivity is usually expressed in Ohms. One of the most common examples is the UL 120K ohm minimum sensitivity requirement. VOLT AMPERE (VA) is the product of the R.M.S. voltage applied to a circuit and the R.M.S. current, in amperes, flowing through it. 12 SPECIFICATIONS SPECIFICATIONS Key Features and Benefits 1. No load setup of trip current and output voltage. This provides the operator with an easy and safe way to set trip currents and output voltages since parameters are set without the high voltage activated. 2. Automatic storage of test program. The instruments will power up with the parameters that were used during the last test to avoid operator set-up errors. 3. All parameters for the setups can be adjusted through a simple menu driven program. The easy to follow setup screens ensure that the operator correctly sets up all test parameters. 4. Line and load regulation. This system maintains the output voltage to within 1% from no load to full load and over the line voltage range to ensure that test results remain consistent and within safety agency requirements. 5. PLC remote inputs and outputs. The standard 9 pin interfaces provide outputs for Pass, Fail, and Test in Process. Inputs include Test, Reset and Interlock. This gives the user all the basic remotes required to configure the instrument through simple PLC relay control. (Note: Model 1305 has ONLY the TEST input and no outputs). 6. Output voltage fine adjustment. To make the instruments usable in different types of applications, the operator can manually bring the voltage up or down in 10 volt increments by simply pressing the up and down arrow keys. This makes it very easy to adjust the output voltage even while the tester is in the dwell mode so you can analyze test results at different voltages. This will not affect the programmed test voltage. Subsequent tests will be at the programmed voltage. 7. Flashing high voltage indicator. A flashing LED located to the right of the display clearly indicates when high voltage is active to provide maximum operator safety. 8. User selectable input voltage. The instruments can be switched for either 115 or 230 volt input operation through an easy access rear panel mounted switch to allow it to be used in any country. 13 SPECIFICATIONS Model 1305 Functional Specifications 3KV AC Hipot Descriptions Specifications INPUT VOLTAGE 115 / 230V selectable, ± 15 % variation; 47 –63 Hz FUSE 115 VAC, 230VAC –2A fast acting 250VAC OUTPUT Rating : 0 –3000V, 5mA Regulation : ± (1 % of output + 5V) VOLTAGE SETTING 0.01KV –3.00KV, 10 volts/step Accuracy : ± (2 % of Setting + 5V) (relative to displayed output).

The default settings shown will remain in memory unless you choose to override them with your own test program. The instrument default settings are as follows: DEFAULTS • Input Voltage: 115 or 230 volts AC, country specific (rear-panel switch selectable) • Voltage Output: 1.50 kV DC (2503/2550 DC mode) 1.24 kV AC (1305/2510/2550 AC mode) • Current Trip: HI-LMT: 5.00 mA HI-LMT: 3.00 mA (2503/2550 DC mode) • Dwell: 1 (1 second) (2503/2510/2550) OFF (1305) • Ramp: 0 (0.1 second) (2503/2510/2550) • Pulse: OFF (1305) A). Unpack this instrument from its special shipping container. Be sure to save all packaging materials in case you need to return it to the factory for service. B). Locate a suitable testing area and be sure you have read all safety instructions for the operation of the instrument and suggestions on the test area set-up in the SAFETY section of this manual. Locate a three prong grounded outlet. Be sure the outlet has been tested for proper wiring before connecting the instrument to it. C). Check to be sure the correct input line voltage has been selected on the rear panel (either 115 volts AC or 230 volts AC). Connect the power input plug into its socket on the rear panel of the instrument. Connect the male end of the plug to the outlet receptacle. WARNING D). Turn on the POWER switch located on the lower left hand side of the front panel. Upon powering the instrument up a POWER ON SELF TEST (POST) will automatically be performed. This test will check for the condition of all critical components. You will see the model number briefly appear on the LED readout and then clear itself. E). If the instrument DEFAULTS are acceptable, then be sure to connect the appropriate test leads to the device under test (DUT) or test fixture. Be sure to connect this safety 21 QUICK START ground to a suitable known good ground before energizing this instrument, then connect the return lead first (black) to the test fixture or item followed by the high voltage output lead (red). F). 2503/2510/2550 are equipped with a featured referred to as “Remote Interlock”. Remote Interlock is a feature that utilizes a set of closed contacts to enable the instruments output. In other words, if the Interlock contacts are open, the output of the instrument will be disabled. Remote Interlock could also be referred to as a remote system lockout, utilizing “Fail When Open”logic. If the Interlock contacts are open, the instrument will not conduct a test if the Test button is pressed. If the Interlock contacts are opened during a test, the test will abort. The hardware has been configured to provide the interlock connections on pins 4 and 5 of the 9-pin, d-sub input connector located on the back of the unit. The instrument can still be used without the external interlock device as long as the Interlock Connector (99-10040-01 provided with unit) is plugged into the input connector. If there is nothing connected to the input port to provide a connection to the interlock, the instrument will not perform tests. Note: Model 1305 is not equipped with the Remote Interlock feature. G). Please check your connections to be sure they are making good contact and that the test station or area is clear of debris and other personnel. DO NOT TOUCH THE DEVICE UNDER TEST ONCE THE TEST HAS BEEN STARTED. To initiate the test press the GREEN test button on the front panel. This is a momentary button and must be held in the pressed position during the test. The instrument will then cycle ON and begin the automated test using the defaults. If a failure occurs you will HEAR an audible alarm go off. To stop the alarm you must depress the RED button marked RESET. This will silence the alarm and reset the instrument to begin another test. This RESET button must also be used when the dwell mode is set to “ON” to ABORT a test and cut off the HIGH VOLTAGE. WARNING When HIGH VOLTAGE is present a RED flashing indicator located to the right of the display will remain flashing until the HIGH VOLTAGE is OFF. If the device under test PASSED the test then no audible alarm will sound. In the case of a FAIL condition the instrument will provide a visual and audible alarm. Depressing the reset button will reset the instrument alarm. 22 SETUP SETUP SETUP INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODEL 1305 Check to be sure the correct input line voltage has been selected on the rear panel, either 115 volts AC or 230 volts AC.

To avoid ground loops, the shield should not be grounded at both ends of the cable. The interface allows remote operation of the TEST function only. A normally open momentary switch across pins 3 and 5 allows remote operation of the TEST function. The TEST and RESET switches on the front panel remain active during remote operation. Suggested AMP part numbers for interconnecting to the Remote I/O are shown below. 205203-3 745253-7 745171-1 747784-3 RECEPTACLE SHELL CRIMP SNAP-IN SOCKET CONTACT (for receptacle) SHIELDED CABLE CLAMP (for either plug or receptacle) JACKSCREW SET (2) REMOTE INTERFACE REAR PANEL CAUTION DO NOT CONNECT VOLTAGE OR CURRENT TO THE SIGNAL INPUT, THIS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL CIRCUITRY. 33 OPERATION REMOTE INTERFACE FOR MODEL 2503/2510/2550 All inputs are connected through the 9-pin “D”type connector mounted on the back panel of the unit. This connector mates with the standard 9-pin “D”type subminiature connector included with the unit. For best performance, a shielded cable should be used. To avoid ground loops, the shield should not be grounded at both ends of the cable. The remote interface includes a SAFETY INTERLOCK. This interlock must be closed to allow a test to start. The SAFETY INTERLOCK is wired between pins 4 and 5 of the interface connector. For manual operation, the provided 9-pin “D”type connector has a jumper between pins 4 and 5. This mating connector must be in place for manual operation. For remote operation, the interlock can be appropriately connected to test station guarding. The interface allows remote operation of the TEST and RESET functions. A normally open momentary switch across pins 3 and 5 allows remote operation of the TEST function. A normally open momentary switch can also be wired across pins 2 and 5 to allow remote operation of the RESET function. The TEST and RESET switches on the front panel remain active during remote operation. The remote interface also provides signals to remotely monitor the PASS, FAIL, and PROCESSING conditions. These signals are provided by three normally open internal relays that switch on to indicate the current condition of the tester. These are normally open, free contacts and do not provide any voltage or current. The ratings of these contacts are 1Amp/120VAC (1Amp/24VDC). The outputs are as follows: Pins 1 and 6 provide the PROCESSING signal. Pins 6 and 7 provide the PASS signal. Pins 8 and 9 provide the FAIL signal. A description of the output relay operation follows: PROCESSING –The relay contact closes the connection between pin 1 and pin 6 while the instrument is performing a test. The connection is opened at the end of a test. PASS –The relay contact closes the connection between pin 6 and pin 7 after detecting that the device under test passed the test. The connection is opened when the next test is initiated or the reset function is activated. FAIL –The relay contact closes the connection between pin 8 and pin 9 after detecting that the device under test failed the test. The connection is opened when the next test is initiated or the reset function is activated. 34 OPTIONS MODEL 2503/2510/2550 OPTIONS Introduction This section contains a list and descriptions of available factory installed options at the time of this printing.
