Hardware Installation
Place the A on a stable bench, close to a power supply and to the PC.
Check that the unit has been set for the correct voltage (factory set), and that the unit is switched off, before
plugging the other end of the mains lead into the power supply.
4.3.1
Safety Interlock
It is Gen3 recommendation that there is a safety interlock between the A and the test chamber
such that if the chamber door is opened during a test, then the entire test operation will be arrested and
stopped.
For test voltages up to 300V, we include a safety interlock. Connect the safety interlock plug to the chamber
interlock system as per diagram below.
Whether the safety interlock is used in this way or not, it is important that this be fitted to the
instrument.
Take the IEC mains lead and plug it into the mains socket at the rear of the unit
Connect USB cable between A and USB port in the PC.
Switch on the unit using the on/off switch located to the rear of the unit
The A is ready to run.
