Adapter Box Connection 

 
The following diagram shows how to connect the adapter box to the HypotMAX 7700 or 
HypotMAX 7704 and to the device under test. 

 
The adapter box provides 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 HypotMAX 
7700, you can perform both the hipot and continuity tests at the same time by activating 
the continuity function on the instrument. 
 
When the HypotMAX 7700 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 testing 
products with two prong plugs, do not activate the continuity circuit. 
 
When the Ground Bond test is selected on the HypotMAX 7704 the High Current will be 
applied through the Current lead to the Adapter box and flow back through the Return 
lead.  The resistance is measured and compared to the HI and LO- Limit trip points stored 
in memory.
