Remote Control Using a Control Device
The tester can also be operated by remote control using a control device other than
one of the listed optional remote control boxes.
• Remote control operations involve outputting/shutting down high voltages
by external signals. In certain cases, this may entail significant hazards.
When high voltages are generated, thorough safety measures are
required to prevent inadvertent generation of high voltages and human
contact with the DUT, test lead, test probe, or the periphery of the output
terminals. Do not operate the tester by remote control unless such mea-
sures can be assured.
• Lay the control signal wires apart (more than 500 mm) from the test leads
and DUT.
• Never short the test lead to a signal wire. If you do, it may utterly damage
the internal circuits of the tester.
Connecting a control device to the front panel’s REMOTE connector switches the
tester from front panel control to remote control. Remote-controlled testing using a
control device is started or stopped as shown below:
For remote control via a control device, the descriptions given for START and
STOP switch operations in other chapters (including chapter 5 “Panel Operations”)
are modified as follows:
Connecting a control device to the REMOTE connector requires a 5-pin, DIN Stan-
dard-based connector. Contact your Kikusui distributor or agent if you have diffi-
culty obtaining a 5-pin DIN connector.
