68 TOS5300
Interlock Feature
Selecting the test mode
The relationship between the PM0, PM1, TEST SEL, and AUTO SEL signals and the test mode that is
recalled is shown in the table below.
Interlock Feature
This feature links the TOS5300 Series to an external device to stop output appropriately. This
ensures the safety of the operator.
While the interlock feature is active, even if you press the START switch or apply a start signal from
an external controller, the TOS5300 Series will not perform testing. While the interlock signal is
being applied, you cannot release PROTECTION mode by pressing the STOP switch or applying a
stop signal.
By using the interlock feature, you can control the TOS5300 Series output from an external source.
This ensures safe operation of the tester.

The first time that you turn the POWER switch on after you purchase the TOS5300 Series, the tester
will be in PROTECTION mode through the interlock feature. You can use the included SIGNAL I/O
plug to easily release the PROTECTION mode.
Attaching the included SIGNAL I/O plug connects pin numbers 1 and 13, the INTERLOCK+ and
INTERLOCK- pins. Only use this plug to easily release the PROTECTION mode.
When you are actually performing tests, use the interlock feature to ensure safety.
During withstanding voltage and insulation resistance tests in which you are using tools, (1) placing
a cover over the DUT so that output is turned off whenever the cover is removed to prevent electric
shock and (2) placing a safety fence around the work area where withstanding voltage and
insulation resistance tests are being performed so that output is turned off whenever the fence is
opened are both examples of effective safety measures.
■ Interlock signal input conditions
Open across terminals
• When the resistance across the positive and negative terminals is 1.2 kΩ or greater.
• If you are using transistors or an optical device, when the current across the positive and
negative terminals is 5 mA or less.
