4.3 Dielectric Strength (HIPOT) Testing

For dielectric strength (HIPOT) testing in the field, users must remove the metal jumper located on terminal 2, 4, and 6 of the power supply terminal block. This metal jumper connects transient suppression circuitry to chassis ground and must be removed in order to avoid damage to transient suppression circuitry during HIPOT testing. Figure 11 shows the proper HIPOT test connections and should be followed to avoid damage to the device.
