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 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: 
 

 

Qty 1  MegaPulse Defib-5PF-002 Tester 

 

Qty 10 PN:00-HVTL-R (High Voltage Test Lead Red) 

 

Qty 1   PN: 70-101 (Power Cord 18 AWG) 

 

Qty 1   Defib-5PF-002 Instruction Manual 

 

Qty 1 Testminder set 

 

Qty 1 External Load (52.299kΩ and 7.492kΩ +/-5%) 
 

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  three 
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.  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. A second fuse can be 
found next to the input voltage selector switch 
 
Use the following procedure to replace a fuse: 
1. 

Turn the power switch to the OFF position. 

2. 

Unplug the instrument from the source of supply. 

3. 

Remove the power inlet cord from the instrument. 

4. 

Open the fuse holder door. 

5. 

Replace the fuse with a new one of the correct rating. 

6. 

Replace the fuse holder and power inlet cord.
