Section 3
Operation
This section describes how to set up and make
measurements with your Tester. We recommend
that you read the entire section carefully so that
you can use all of the features of your Tester.
Setting up your Tester
Your Tester is shipped in a special protective
container that should prevent damage to the
instrument during shipping. Check the shipping
order against the contents of the container and
report any damage or short shipment to
Compliance West USA. The container should
include the following:
•
The MegaPulse Impulse Tester
•
Two high-voltage test leads
•
An 18 AWG Line Power Cord
•
This Instruction Manual
If reshipment of the instrument is necessary,
please use the original shipping container. If the
original shipping container is not available, be
sure that adequate protection is provided to
prevent damage during shipment. We
recommend that the instrument be surrounded by
at least two inches of shock-absorbing material
on all sides of the container.
Remove the Tester from its container and place
it on a test bench.
AC Line Voltage Requirements
AC line voltage requirements for your Tester are
noted on the rear panel of the instrument. Do
not connect the instrument to a different voltage
source.
Selection of a Suitable Power
Cord
The cord packaged with your MegaPulse Tester
is for use in the United States. If another power
cord must be used, the cord must be rated for the
maximum current noted on the rear panel. It
must also meet the requirements of IEC 227 or
IEC 245, and mains cords that are certified or
approved by any recognized national test house
are regarded as meeting this requirement.
Fuse Replacement
There is a user-replaceable fuse (F1) located on
the rear panel of the instrument. It is located
behind a door in the Power Inlet-Power Switch-
Fuse Holder device. The fuse rating is noted on
the rear panel. Do not attempt to replace it with
a fuse of any other rating.
Use the following procedure to replace the fuse
F1:
1.
Turn the power switch to the O or off
position.
2. Unplug the instrument from the source
of supply.
3. Remove the power inlet cord from the
instrument.
4. Using a small screwdriver, pry open the
fuse holder door.
5. Replace the fuse with a new one of the
correct rating.
6. Replace the fuse holder door and power
inlet cord.
