1.1 Product Introduction
(1) Easy testing conforming to standards
With the unit insulation resistance and withstand voltage tests based on a
wide variety of standards can be performed. The timer and comparative
screening functions using the upper- and lower-limit values provide accurate
test results. When testing withstand voltage, the unit does not operate until
the output-voltage preset using the voltage adjustment knob is within 5%
(output-voltage 1 kV: 50 V) of the comparative-voltage value, thus
ensuring more accurate readings.
(2) Automatic insulation resistance testing and withstand voltage
testing
The Auto Test mode allows consecutive insulation resistance and withstand
voltage tests to be performed.
(3) Fluorescent indicator
The large, easy-to-read fluorescent display permits quick checking of the
testing state and result.
(4) Analog Voltage Measurement
The voltage is digitally displayed on the fluorescent indicator. This value can
also be checked on the analog voltmeter. (withstand voltage test only)
(5) Saving testing set values (Memory function)
This unit is provided with a function for saving the set values used in a test,
allowing quick switching between different testing set values to meet a
variety of standards and regulations. Up to 10 values may be saved for each
testing mode.
The values immediately prior to a power shutdown are saved in the unit.
These values are valid at the next startup.
(6) REMOTE CONTROL BOX
The 9613 REMOTE CONTROL BOX (SINGLE) or the 9614 REMOTE
CONTROL BOX (DUAL) can be connected to the external switch terminal
to perform 3159 start/stop control.
(7) External I/O
The external I/O terminal generates signals according to the state of the
3159. It can be used to feed signals for the START and STOP key.
(8) RS-232C interface as a standard feature
Automatic testing and saving of the test results are possible with the use of a
computer.
(9) Status Out
Relay contact signals are output from the terminal on the rear panel
according to the state of the 3159. The DANGER lamp can be connected to
ensure safer testing.
