Connecting to Line Power	Turning the Analyzer On
XWWarning	Note

To avoid shock hazard and for proper Analyzer operation, connect the factory supplied three-conductor line power cord to a properly grounded power outlet. Do not use a two-conductor adapter or extension cord; this will break the protective ground connection.

Connect the Analyzer to a properly grounded three-prong outlet. The Analyzer will not properly test a DUT when the ground lead is open.

The Analyzer is intended for use with single-phase, grounded power. It is not intended for dual, split-phase or three-phase power configurations. But it can be used with any power system that supplies the correct voltages for single-phase and is grounded, or is an isolated power system.

Connecting a DUT to the Analyzer

A Device Under Test (DUT) can be connected in a number of different ways depending on the device and the number of connections needed for a full electrical safety test. Figure 4 shows a DUT connected to the test receptacle, applied parts posts, and a separate connection to the DUT’s enclosure or protective earth ground.

To ensure the high voltage indicator is working, look for it to illuminate during the power-up self test.

Press the power switch on the left-side panel so the “I” side of the ac power switch is depressed. The Analyzer will perform a series of self tests and then display the message shown in Figure 3 when the self test has completed successfully.
