Connecting a UUT
WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED LOAD INPUT VOLTAGE RATING
This instrument does NOT have a means to disconnect its Load input from a
connected power supply. If the voltage applied to the Load input exceeds its
maximum rating – even if the load is turned completely off – damage to the load
WILL occur. Damage caused by exceeded maximum load input voltage under any
circumstance is NOT covered by the manufacturer’s product warranty. Remove any
load input connections when the load is not in use, even when it is turned off.
When setting up for a new test and connecting any equipment to the AC & DC load, proceed as
follows:
1.
Always make sure the AC & DC load is turned OFF at the POWER switch when making
any wire connections.
2.
Check that the output of the equipment under test is
OFF
.
Note:
Some power equipment’s output may still be energized even if the equipment has
been turned off or its output is turned off. This is especially true for DC power supplies.
Note: When working with batteries, it is recommended to provide a suitable disconnect
relay or switch so the load connection can be disconnected from the battery for
handling purposes.
3.
Connect one end of the load wires to the load input terminals on the front panel.
4.
Check the polarity of the connections and connect the other end of the load wires to the
output terminal of the equipment under test.
5.
When connecting multiple loads to the same EUT, makes sure the load wire lengths to
each load are the same.
