ESA612

Users Manual

During the self-test, the Analyzer checks its ac mains input for proper polarity, ground integrity and voltage level. The high voltage indicator illuminates briefly during the self test. If the polarity is reversed, the Analyzer indicates this condition and allows the polarity to be reversed internally. If the ground is open, the Analyzer displays this fault. If the mains voltage is too high or too low, the Analyzer displays this fault and does not continue until the supply voltage is corrected and the Analyzer power cycled off and then on again.

Accessing the Analyzer’s Functions

For each test and setup function, the Analyzer uses a series of menus to access various Analyzer test and setup variables. As shown in Figure 5, the Analyzer indicates various leakage current tests along the bottom of the display. An Exit selection is also indicated as a way of backing out of the leakage current tests. Pressing a softkey (F1 through F4) under a specific test will cause the analyzer to setup for or perform the selected test.

In addition to the function softkeys, the Analyzer test functions may require using the navigation buttons to select parameters as well. In the example above, the leakage selection has Knext to it. This icon indicates the selection is controlled by pressing Gor H. In this example, the leakage current measurement is switched between AC+DC, AC only, or DC only. The applied parts indicator has Won the left end and Xon the right end.

These icons indicate the use of Eand Fto select an applied part.

The three buttons along the right side of the display

(PND) control the wiring of the Analyzer’s test receptacle for some electrical tests. The present state of these three buttons is displayed along the right edge of the display whenever these controls are active.

Figure 5 shows polarity is settable between normal, reversed, and off. Neutral is also settable to closed or open. Earth condition is not displayed, which indicates it can not be changed. However, earth is internally opened during this test.
