3.5 Mains CONNECTION
The device is connected to the mains using a mains cable with a plug with
an earth contact.
Mains connection 230 V/49 - 61 Hz, mains fuse protection 16 A (provided
by the customer).
3.6 USING AND CONTROLLING
Prior to connecting the device to the mains, the following preparations
must be made and the following instructions observed.
The tester can be used as a „stand-alone“ device (separate housing) or in
automatic test systems (rack). In the case of devices with a touchscreen
display, the device can be operated manually or using external control. In
the case of automated devices, control must in all cases be via an external
computer.
The device is controlled remotely in conjunction with the RS232 interface
X8 or Ethernet or USB interface on the rear of the housing. It is then only
possible to define the test parameters using the interface (remote
mode) (test voltage, Imax, Imin, Umin, etc.). The DA interface is to be
connected as per the pin assignment given in chapter 6.2.4. The com-
mands for the RS-232 / Ethernet interface are listed in the separate manual
„Remote control via interface".
For safety reasons the device has two ‚safety circuits‘ SK1 and SK2 , see
chapter 14.8. If the safety circuit is interrupted, the high voltage is switched
off immediately. It is not possible to apply the HV with a safety circuit open.
The safety circuit(s) must always be closed for test operation.
3.7 Connection to the computer
The device must always be controlled remotely via an interface:
- Ethernet- or RS232-/ USB interface (option), depending on the options
fitted to the device.
