OPERATION
E. ADAPTER BOX CONNECTION:
The adapter box is an optional accessory and is not provided as standard equipment with
the 2900 family of Hipots. If you would like to acquire an adapter box for use with your
Hipot, please contact The Slaughter Company using the contact information provided in
the Safety section of this manual.
The following diagram shows how to connect the adapter box to the Hipot and to the
device under test.
Never connect the adapter box to the hipot while the high voltage
outputs are energized.
The adapter box allows you an easy way to connect an item which is terminated in a two
or three prong line cord. If you are testing a product which is terminated in a three-prong
plug, you are also required to perform a continuity or ground bond test on the ground
conductor of the DUT to the chassis or dead metal of the product. With the 2900 models,
you can perform both the hipot and continuity tests at the same time by activating the
continuity function on the instrument.
When the 2925, 2935, or 2945 tests the ground conductor of the line cord, if the
resistance of the ground conductor exceeds 1, the hipot will signal a continuity failure.
If continuity is present, high voltage is applied to both conductors of the line cord to
insure that all current carrying conductors in the primary circuit are tested.
When you are testing products with two-prong plugs, disconnect the black adapter box
lead from the return jack and replace it with the 102-069-904 lead. Do not activate the
continuity circuit when testing two-prong DUTs.
