2.9.3. Test Fixture
The test fixture acts as an interface between the spring probes of the AT5600 and
the part under test. They can be made to order or easily customized from
standard fixture kits to allow fast and efficient contacts to be made. See Chapter
13, Test Fixtures.
2.9.4. Light Curtain (or another safety device)
A safety device is required to prevent an operator from touching any live wires
during high voltage testing. The AT5600 includes a Safety Interlock connector on
the rear panel. The safety interlocks must be properly connected before any high
voltage test can execute.
For manual operation, if high voltage tests are required, the Voltech safety system
is recommended. This is based around the use of Infra-Red-light beams to
provide a safety curtain and has the advantage of not slowing test throughput.
For more information on safety systems, see chapter 6, Safety Systems.
