Hazardous Operating Conditions
1. Do not touch the test area when the analyzer’s output is enabled. Electrical shock could
result in physical injury or death.
Be sure to observe the following rules:
• Use a standard three prong (grounded) power cord.
• Ensure the earth ground is properly connected.
• Do not touch the output terminal.
• Do not touch the test wire that is connected to the terminal under test.
• Do not touch any unit under test.
• Do not touch any component that is connected to the output terminal for charging.
• Do not touch the test unit right after the test has ended or when the output has just
been turned off. It can take several seconds for the high voltage to bleed off.
2. Shock accidents usually occur under the following conditions:
• The earth terminal of the analyzer is not properly connected.
• Insulating gloves are not used during testing.
• Touching the test unit immediately after the test is done.
3. The high voltage output can be remotely controlled via an external control signal. When
the analyzer is being remotely controlled, follow the safety guidelines below:
• Determine if this analyzer is under remote control before accessing the test setup as
an unexpected high voltage may exist on the DUT (Device Under Test), test cables or
probes.
• Do not allow any operator or other personnel to touch the DUT, test cable, or probe
output when high voltage is being output from the analyzer.
• Remote control is generally controlled by the high voltage test bar; however, other
control circuits can also be used to control it instead. The test bar is the switch for
controlling high voltage output, so the connected control wire should not be near the
high voltage site and test cable to avoid causing any hazard.
1. Do not bundle or cross the high voltage wire with the RS-232 cable,
GPIB control cables, or other low voltage side wires. It could damage
the product or PC controller.
2. To avoid fire, heat, and electrical hazards, always check the cable
connections of alligator clips and connectors for both COMMON
(RTN/LOW) and OUTPUT (High voltage output) terminals before
operation to make sure no test cable is loose or damaged.
See Chapter 3 – “Safety Precautions”, for safety notes on the proper
setup and use of the analyzer.
