A. Leakage test “cold”:
1. Unpiug the AC cord; turn power switch ON.
2. Connect one lead of High Voltage Insulation Tester to both prongs of the AC plug.
3. Touch other lead to all exposed metal parts. :
4. Impedance measurement must be 0.3-5.0 Megohms.
B. Leakage test, “live” :
1. Plug unit directly into the AC outlet: do not use isolation transformer.
2. Connect one lead of the Leakage Current Tester to earth ground.
3. Touch other jead to all exposed metal parts.
