Trigger button
With the button [12] the discharge is released. There are also special functions that are shown in previous
chapters.
5.10
Discharge return cable
The discharge return cable has to be connected to the ground connector [11]. The other end has to be
connected to ground, either to the ground plane of the test bay or directly to the EUT
5.11
Discharge electrodes CON / AIR
Attention ! Before the discharge electrodes are changed, please switch the generator off and wait
for two or three seconds, so the high voltages can be internally discharged
The discharge electrodes can be changed simply by pull and insert. Please use the correct electrodes
according to the test modes – “sharp” for CON, “round” for AIR.
5.12
Power supply
The generator is connected to the power supply via the socket [13]. The ESD generator can be used ei-
ther independently, using the built in batteries or while connected to the mains supply.
After the charging of the accumulator (the charge line is showing full on the display), the power supply
can be removed and the testing can go on with the accumulator only.
The charging of the accumulator can be interrupted at any time in case the power supply cord is hindering
the use of the generator.
The default usage of the generator is in the accumulator-supply
The power supply can be used in a wide range of voltage (85 V to 264 V) and frequency (47 Hz to 63 Hz).
