2. Insert the round electrosurgical instrument ESI into hole-size closest to the
diameter of the ESI under test.
(Note: Hole sizes are slightly larger than 3-, 5-, and 10 mm from the bottom [pin
side up].)
Bi-Polar instruments (wear gloves):
1. Attach the red-port on the top of the insulation tester unit directly to the side pin
of the saddle block. (Make sure controls face up.)
2. Place the brush electrode into the Saddle Block’s slot on the right side away
from the pin.

3. Attach the green ground wire to the back end of the Bi-Polar forceps. Make sure
the clamp is connected to both pins.
4. Insert the end of one tine of the Bi-Polar forceps into the middle of the brush.
(Fig. 11
).

5. Turn the base unit on and set the voltage to 2.8- ± 0.3 kV.
6. Slowly push the Bi-Polar forceps away from you. Go from the tip of the forceps
to the base.
7. Repeat using the second tine.
8. Turn the Bi-Polar forceps over and repeat the test of both tines.
9. Alarm sounds / LED flashes if fault is found in the coating indicating a fault
with the instrument.
