OPERATION
37
The HYAMP II also allows access to three MEMORY PROGRAMS through the remote
control connector. This gives the user the capability to quickly change parameters and
initiate a test remotely. The HYAMP II basically operates in a PLC mode by responding
to simple switch or relay contact closures The built in memory programs of the
instrument are used to accomplish this. Three internal memory programs can be accessed.
By connecting terminals 7, 8 and 9 in different combinations the user can select the correct
memory program.
ACTIVATING MEMORY PROGRAM FUNCTIONS THROUGH
THE REMOTE CONNECTOR, SELECTS THE PROGRAM AND
STARTS THE TEST WHICH IS PREPROGRAMMED INTO THAT MEMORY.
DO NOT CONNECT VOLTAGE OR CURRENT TO THE SIGNAL
INPUTS, THIS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL
CIRCUITRY.
MEMORY 1 - Momentarily connecting terminal 7 to 8 signals the instrument to
immediately begin the test program that is stored in memory 1.
MEMORY 2 - Momentarily connecting terminal 7 to 9 signals the instrument to
immediately begin the test program that is stored in memory 2.
MEMORY 3 - Momentarily connecting terminal 7 to terminals 8 and 9 signals the
instrument to immediately begin the test program that is stored in memory 3.
With the HYAMP II and the HypotPLUS II being used as a test system, the processing
signal from the hipot tester will be sent across pin (6) and pin (7) of the HYAMP II
remote input. This signal will illuminate the front panel “Withstand Processing” indicator
which notifies the operator that high voltage is enabled.
E. HYAMP II AND HypotPLUS II INTERCONNECTION:
The two units have been designed to interface and work as one test system. Testing may
be performed in either a sequential method or simultaneously. The traditionally sequential
method performs the ground bond test first to verify the ground integrity and then
performs the hipot test when a good ground is indicated. The simultaneous method is used
for high speed testing and performs the ground bond test and hipot test at the same time.
Due to this there are two methods to interconnect your units. You may either use the
cables we provide or you can make your own cables. Instructions regarding both cabling
options are provided in the next two sections. Also, refer to the end of section
E for a
complete diagram of a basic test setup.
When preparing your interconnected system, be sure to set the HypotPLUS II's Remote
Control menu setting to "ON" as described in the Operation section of the HypotPLUS II
manual. After configuring the required test parameters for both instruments and
connecting the cables, initiate the test cycle by activating either the remote test signal or
