As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond withthe coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceedas follows:
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected tothe Earth terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol
or coloured Green/Green & Yellow.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to theterminal marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.
If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipmentor contact the supplier.
This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated andapproved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the
equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, a cableof 0.75mm2should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Largerconductors would normally require 13A types, depending on theconnection method used.
Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that isengaged in a live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug isdeemed hazardous, turn off the mains power and remove the cable,any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring must beimmediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the abovestandard.

6. Only connect the test leads to the HIGHVOLTAGE/SOURCE H/SENSE H terminalsbefore the start of a test. Keep the test leadsdisconnected at all other times.
7. Always press the STOP button when pausingtesting.
8.
Do not leave the safety tester unattended.Always turn the power off when leaving thetesting area.
9. When remotely controlling the safety tester,ensure adequate safety measures are in place toprevent:
Inadvertent output of the test voltage.
Accidental contact with the instrument duringtesting. Ensure that the instrument and DUT arefully isolated when the instrument is remotelycontrolled.
10.Ensure an adequate discharge time for theDUT.
When DCW or IR tests are performed, the DUT,test leads and probes become highly charged.The GPT-9000 has discharge circuitry todischarge the DUT after each test. The timerequired for a DUT to discharge is typically200ms.
Never disconnect the safety tester before a
discharge is completed.

Setting the ARC Mode
Background ARC detection, otherwise known as flashoverdetection, detects fast voltage or currenttransients that are not normally detected. Arcingis usually an indicator of poor withstandinginsulation, electrode gaps or other insulatingproblems that cause temporary spikes in currentor voltage during ACW and DCW testing.
There are three ARC detection settings: OFF,ON AND CONTINUE, ON AND STOP.The ON AND CONTINUE setting will detectarcs over the ARC current level and continuethe test, the ON AND STOP setting will stop thetest when an arc is detected.
ARC mode settings only apply to ACW andDCW tests.

Setting the Grounding Mode
Background When GROUND MODE is set to ON, the GPT-9000 grounds the return terminal to the ground.This mode is best for DUTs that are groundedto an earth ground by their chassis, fixtures oroperation environment. This mode measuresthe potential of the HIGH VOLTAGE terminalwith respect to earth ground. This means thatany stray capacitance/resistance that leaks to
earth ground will also be measured. This is thesafest testing mode, though potentially not asaccurate.
When GROUND MODE is set to OFF, thereturn terminal is floating with respect to theearth ground. This mode is for DUTs that arefloating and not directly connected to an earthground. This is more accurate than when
GROUND MODE is set to ON as any straycapacitance/resistance that leaks to the earthground from the DUT side of the testing circuitwill not be measured. For this reason, thistesting mode is able to measure to a higheraccuracy and resolution.
The GROUND MODE is always set to OFF for
IR and GB tests.
