GENERAL SETUP PROCEDURES
22
5.2.5
Turn on the POWER switch located on the lower left hand side of the front panel.
Upon powering up the instrument, all LEDs on the front panel will be lit for visual
inspection. If the instrument defaults parameters are not acceptable, refer to the
OPERATION section for detailed instructions on setting up testing parameters.
DO NOT TOUCH THE DEVICE UNDER TEST ONCE THE TEST
HAS BEEN STARTED.
5.2.6
Check your connections to be sure they are making good contact. Clear the test
station/area of debris and ask any unnecessary personnel to leave the area.To
initiate the test press the GREEN test button on the front panel. This is a
momentary button and does not need to be held in the pressed position during the
test. The instrument will then cycle ON and begin the automated test sequence
using the defaults. As the test sequence proceeds, you will hear relays clicking
inside the Line Leakage Tester and will observe the three LEDs (Neutral, Reverse
and Ground) to the left of the LCD display turning on and off to indicate the
different line configurations. A fault condition is indicated when the LED is on.
When the LED is off the connection is in a normal state. If a failure occurs you
will hear an audible alarm and see the red failure indicator light up. To stop the
alarm you must press the RED button marked “RESET.” This will silence the
alarm, clear the red fail light, and reset the instrument to begin another test.
This RESET button may also be used to quickly ABORT a test and cut off the
power to the DUT. When VOLTAGE is present a RED TEST indicator located in
the lower right side of the front panel near the probe connectors will illuminate
until the VOLTAGE is shut OFF. If the device under test PASSED the test then
no audible alarm will sound. You will hear a brief BEEP to let you know the item
was successfully tested and it PASSED. In the case of a FAIL condition the
instrument will provide a memory of the test results on the display, that will
remain until the next test is initiated. Pressing the RESET button will prepare the
instrument for the next test but will not clear the display until the next test is
started or another reset is executed.
