Emergency power shut-off

This large, highly visible red button is easily pressed on the front panel for emergency shut-

downs.  It cuts all power to the unit swiftly and safely.

Resistance leads

Three test leads (red) and a ground lead (black) are provided for motor test connections.  

Both sides of the connection clips must be in contact with the terminal of the motor being 

measured.  

High-voltage test leads

The Baker AWA uses high-voltage test leads for surge, Baker ZTX, and DC testing.  You must 

keep the leads clean and dry for best measurement performance.

Voltage output control knob (6 kV and 12 kV models only)

Turn the knob clockwise to increase the applied voltage or counterclockwise to decrease the 

voltage.  The rate of voltage increase or decrease is set via the touch screen interface.  Do not 

force the knob; turning the knob harder does not cause voltage to ramp any quicker and may 

damage the instrument.
