Preparatory Procedure: IDAX instrument
1. Before connecting IDAX instrument power cord to the mains outlet:
§
read the
§
connect the transparent ground lead to a protective earth (ground) close to measurement
specimen and to panel of instrument.
2. Connect IDAX instrument to a mains outlet which meets the requirements in User's Manual
and local safety regulations, and switch on IDAX instrument using the mains switch POWER
on the front panel.
Preparatory Procedure: Specimen
1. All specimen capacitances must be discharged before connecting IDAX leads. This means that
all specimen electrodes must be short circuited and grounded. The electrodes must remain
grounded until IDAX leads are connected. Below a general picture of ground connections is
shown.
2. In the case of Test Capacitor, keeping the electrodes grounded while connecting IDAX leads
is complicated. Therefore, in this particular case with Test Capacitor, it is permitted to remove
the ground connections before connecting IDAX.

Measurement
1. Make sure that IDAX is properly connected to mains outlet.
2. Turn on IDAX using the mains switch POWER on the front panel. The IDAX performs a
self-test and start-up procedure.
3. Activate the Results window if not active after start-up.
4. In Results create new object selecting Object from menu File / New. Click "Browse" and
select !!Test Capacitor.obj template and enter arbitrary name as Object Name, for example
"Test" and click OK.
5. By default all measurement templates listed as Associated Measurement Templates will be
available for performing the measurements. It is possible to deselect one or more
measurement templates from Associated Measurement Templates. As shown in picture
below, four Measurement Templates !!C10 (GST-Guard), !!C12 (UST),
!!C12, C10, C10+C12
and
!!C20 (GST-Guard)
are associated with the object "Test" for IDAX-206, similar procedure
as IDAX-300.
6. Fill in available fields with relevant information.
