Test Connections

To connect the 2900 series to a DUT, first connect the black return lead into the front panel receptacle. Then connect the high voltage lead (w/ red clip) or probe, which-ever one you are using for your application into the high voltage recepatacle on the front panel.

Next attach the black return clip to exposed or dead metal located on the chassis of the DUT. Always connect the ground return first.

If you are using the high voltage clip, make sure you attached the red clip to the current carrying conductors of the DUTs circuitry. If you are using the test probe, simply apply the probe to the appropriate current carrying conductors.

The adapter box is provided as an optional accessory for the 2900 series of Hipot Testers. This provides an easy way to connect to a DUT that is terminated in a two-prong or three-prong line cord.

In order to use the adapter box, continuity must be enabled. This is set up in the instruments menus. First plug the return lead from the adapter box into the front panel return jack on the 2900 series Hipot tester. Then plug the high voltage lead from the adapter box in the front panel high voltage jack. If you are testing a three-prong DUT, then connect the continuity cable into the back panel continuity jack on the instrument and attach the clip terminated end to the chassis of the DUT. If it is a two-prong DUT then this cord must be removed. Finally plug the DUT into the adapter box.
