The high voltage power supply of the Hypot is internally referenced to earth ground. Since the leakage current

measuring circuit of the instrument monitors only current that ows through the return lead the possibility exists for current to ow directly from the high voltage output to earth ground without being measured. The SmartGFI

(Ground Fault Interrupt) circuit monitors the current between the high voltage output and earth ground. Therefore, if you touch the high voltage lead and earth ground, the instrument will detect this hazardous condition and shut off immediately.

SmartGFI goes beyond a standard GFI circuit by automatically determining the return conguration of the DUT (grounded or oating) and enabling or disabling depending on the situation. When the Hypot’s Return lead is oating, the SmartGFI circuit enables, protecting the test operator from electric shock. When the Hypot’s Return

lead is earth grounded, the SmartGFI circuit disables and the instrument operates in a grounded return mode of operation. If the GFI were to remain active in this state, the instrument would continuously fail since all current is returning through earth ground. By disabling the SmartGFI circuit and operating in a grounded return mode,

Hypot allows the user to perform tests on devices that have their chassis’s earth grounded by the test xture or

test environment.

Allows the user to initiate a test through the REMOTE INPUT on the rear panel of the instrument. If PLC Remote = ON the front panel TEST button is disabled and a test may only be started through the rear panel Remote I/O. If PLC Remote = OFF, the test must be initiated via the front panel TEST button.

If Fail Stop = ON, a sequence of tests will stop if a failure occurs. If Fail Stop = OFF, the sequence of tests will continue to the end of the sequence regardless of whether or not a failure has occurred. If a failure has occurred, the red RESET button will light and alarm will sound indicating failure during the sequence. Pressing the RESET button will silence the alarm and reset the instrument.

The Dual Remote Test Switch option allows you to congure dual palm switches for safe production line operation. Both PLC Remote and Dual Test must be ON in order for dual remote test switch operation below to work.

The rear panel remote interface is recongured to allow two test switches instead of the standard reset and test

inputs. The two test switches have to be pressed within 0.5 seconds to activate the test process. The two test switches must remain closed to continue the test. If either of the test switches is released, the process will be shut down immediately. The functions of the Test and Reset switches on the front panel will be disabled if the dual test switches are enabled. When the Dual Test parameter is turned OFF, the Test and Reset switches on the front and rear panel behave the same as the standard instrument, and are controlled by the PLC Remote On/Off selection.

Optional - The mimic H3 command set option for Hypot allows to emulate the BUS remote commands that were previously used on Hypot III instrument. The full list of commands can be found in Hypot III manual.

The Diagnostic Memory is a feature that keeps snap-shot records of the tests that the instrument performs. It has a limited capacity to record basic information from test results (up to 4000 results), as well as a capacity to keep running totals for the instrument; number of ACW/DCW/IR tests performed, number of ACW/DCW/IR tests passed, total amount of time the instrument is outputting voltage, etc. These numbers are used by our marketing team to get a rudimentary idea of how our customers are using the instruments as well as help us troubleshoot any possible issues if the instrument comes back for repairs. This is a user-selectable feature and can be enabled or disabled from the Hardware Menu of the instrument.

Barcode

Barcode I/P

The Barcode function allows you to connect a barcode scanner directly to the front panel of the instrument’s barcode port. This is utilized to enter product and serial number information for testing.

To use this function, plug a USB type barcode reader into the barcode port on the front panel of the instrument. Once a USB barcode is plugged in, the instrument will notify you that a reader has been detected:

If there is a problem with the connection to the barcode reader or an incompatible device is plugged into the USB barcode port, the following message will appear:

If the USB barcode device is removed while the instrument is powered on, the following message will appear:



Page 31

Important Information regarding the Barcode Feature

There are two options under Barcode, Barcode I/P and Autostart.

You can set the Barcode I/P function to OFF, SER/PROD, SERIAL #, PRODUCT # or RUN FILE. When the setting is SERIAL#, PRODUCT# or SER/PROD you can scan barcodes in the Perform Tests screen before the test is started.

Carriage Return (Enter) Function

The barcode scanner needs to be programmed to perform a carriage return function after each scan. A carriage return, also

known as the enter key, is used to bring the cursor down or onto the next data eld after each scan. Please refer to the barcode

manufactures’ programming instructions to add “Carriage Return/Enter” at the end of scan.

After the barcodes are scanned, pressing TEST will initiate the test sequence. Pressing RESET will abort the TEST sequence. The barcode function allows for the re-scanning of barcodes if the previously scanned barcode was incorrect. Re-scanning is available in the SERIAL#, PRODUCT# and SER/PROD modes. Any time before a test is initiated; you can re-scan a barcode. If you decide

to re-scan barcodes when the Barcode I/P setting is set to SER/PROD, the barcode function will rst replace the data in the Serial Number eld, and if you re-scan another barcode, the barcode function will replace the data in the Product Number eld.

The RUN FILE selection gives you the ability to automatically load a test le based on what barcode is scanned from the Perform

Tests screen.

To completely enable this feature, you must name the desired test le for a particular product the exact alpha-numeric code that is on the product’s barcode label. For example, if Product A has barcode “12345678”, then the test le that you would like to

run when testing Product A must be named “12345678”. Upon scanning the barcode, the Hypot will immediately load the test

associated with that barcode. The test le name is limited to 8 characters. However, if you name a test le with the maximum 8 characters, this function will still initiate a test when a product’s barcode begins with those rst 8 characters, even if the barcode

has more than 8 characters.

The Maximum Length of the Barcode Model/Serial Number is Limited to 21 Characters

When using certain features of barcoding, the instrument’s response to the TD? and RD x? commands will differ slightly to an

instrument that is not utilizing this function. For all types of tests (ACW, DCW, IR, CONT) two elds are added to the end of the

standard response when the Barcode I/P setting is set to SERIAL#, PRODUCT# or SER/PROD.

The rst eld contains the Serial Number information and the second eld includes the Product Number information. Both elds are included regardless of which of these three modes are selected. The instrument will simply substitute a “0” for the eld if it

is not applicable to the setting. For example, if a user had their Barcode I/P setting set to SERIAL#, and scanned a Serial Number with the value “12345678”, the TD? response for an ACW test could be:

01,ACW,Pass,1.24,1.0 00,0.900,1.0,12345678,0

Note that there is a “0” in the Product Number eld because the Barcode I/P setting is SERIAL#. When the Barcode I/P setting is RUN FILE or OFF, these elds are not included in the TD? and RD x? responses.

Test Parameters Description

Test Parameter Test Typ e Description

Voltage ACW, DCW, IR The voltage that is applied to the high voltage and return

terminals during a test.

HI-Limit ACW, DCW, IR The maximum current or resistance threshold that triggers

a failure when exceeded.

LO-Limit ACW, DCW, IR The minimum current or resistance threshold that triggers

a failure when not exceeded.

Ramp Up ACW, DCW, IR The length of time that is allowed for the test voltage to

climb from 0 to the programmed test voltage.

Dwell Time ACW, DCW, IR The length of time that is allowed for the programmed test

voltage to be applied.

Delay IR The length of time that the programmed test voltage is

applied but no judgment of the set parameters is made. Judgment of the parameters is not made until the end of the delay time.

Ramp Down ACW, DCW, IR The length of time that is allowed for the test voltage to

decay from programmed test voltage to 0.

Charge-LO DCW, IR Use the Charge-LO function to check if the cables are con-

nected properly at the beginning of a test. A capacitive DUT will draw charging current on the DC Withstand test when the Output is activated. If the charging current is lower than the setting, the test cables may not be connected properly. The instrument can set the Charge-LO parameter manually or automatically. To manually set the Charge-LO current, use the touchscreen keypad to enter the value. To automatically set the Charge-LO current select the Charge-LO parameter and connect all test leads to the DUT as you would when performing an actual DCW test. Press the TEST button on the front panel of the instrument.

Please be aware that the program

CAUTION

S’il vous plaît soyez conscient que le programme va activer haute tension sur le connecteur de sortie tandis que le bouton TEST est pressé

will activate high voltage on the output connector while the TEST button is pressed.

The program will read the charging current of the DUT and set the Charge-LO current at approximately one half (1/2) of the reading. The instrument will beep and the new value will

automatically be updated in the eld. You do not need to

select the ENTER key for the new parameter to be accepted.

Continued on next page

Signals on Remote I/O

REMOTE INPUT/OUTPUT

Remote Output The rear panel connector provides three output signals to remotely monitor PASS, FAIL,

and PROCESSING conditions. The monitoring signals are provided by three normally open internal relays that toggle ON and OFF to indicate the condition of the instrument. These are normally open free contacts and will not provide any voltage or current.

Output Signal Pins Description

PASS 1 and 2 The relay contact closes after detecting that the device under test passed all tests. The

connection is opened when the next test is initiated or the reset function is activated.

FAIL 3 and 4 The relay contact closes after detecting that the device under test failed any test. The connection

is opened when the next test is initiated or the reset function activated.

PROCESSING 5 and 6 The relay contact closes while the tester is performing a test. The connection is opened at the

end of the test.

These are normally open free contacts and will not provide any voltage or current. The ratings of the contacts are 1 AAC / 125 VAC (0.5 ADC / 30 VDC). When a terminal becomes active, the relay closes thereby allowing the external voltage to operate an external device.

Remote Input The Hypot remote connector enables remote operation of the TEST, RESET, and REMOTE

INTERLOCK functions, and allows you to select one of 3 pre-programmed test les. (7 memories available with added option)

Output Signal Pins Description

TEST 3 and 5 A normally open momentary switch can be wired across pins 3 and 5 to allow remote operation

of the TEST function. A minimum pulse width or contact closure of 20mS is required to guarantee a test start.

RESET 2 and 5 A normally open momentary switch can be wired across pins 2 and 5 to allow remote operation

of the RESET function. For safety, the front panel RESET button remains active even when a remote reset switch is connected so that high voltage can be shut down from either location. A minimum pulse width or contact closure of 50mS is required to guarantee that a running test will abort.

INTERLOCK 4 and 5 Remote Interlock utilizes a set of closed contacts to enable the tester’s output. The output of the

tester will be disabled under the following conditions:

• If the Interlock contacts are open and the TEST button is pushed

• If the interlock contacts are opened during a test (test will automatically abort)

A pop-up message will be displayed on the screen:

The tester can still be used without the external interlock device as long as the Interlock Connector (P/N # 38075 provided with unit) is plugged into the Remote Interface, Signal Input port. If there is nothing connected to the Remote Interface, Signal Input port to provide a connection to the interlock, the tester will not perform tests.

When the PLC Remote mode is ON, the tester will respond to simple switch or relay contacts closures. When the PLC Remote function is ON the TEST button on the front panel will be disabled.

Remote Signal Inputs and Memory Access

• The Remote File Select function gives you the capability to quickly select and initiate a test remotely.

• You can access rst three (3) pre-programmed test les by connecting pins 1, 6, 8 and 9 to the common pin 7, in different

combinations. (7 memories available with added option)

• The memory select bits should be set simultaneously and remain set for a

minimum of 20ms to guarantee that the correct memory will be selected.

DID YOU KNOW...

• The memory select bits may be set in sequential manner, provided that the time

delay between each bit is less than 4ms.

• When the desired bit pattern has been established it should remain set for a

minimum of 20ms to guarantee that the correct memory will be selected.

• It may be necessary to “OR” the momentary switches (relay contacts) to

prevent incorrect program selection due to timing errors.

The operator should understand the electrical fundamentals of voltage, current, and resistance.

2. Safety Procedures

Operators should be thoroughly trained to follow these and all other applicable safety rules and procedures before they begin a test. Defeating any safety system should be treated as a serious offense and should result in severe penalties, such as removal from the Hipot testing job. Allowing unauthorized personnel in the area during a test should also be dealt with as a serious offense.

Refer to the following standards for more information:

• NFPA 70E

• OSHA 1910 subpart (S)

• EN50191

3. Dress

Operators should not wear jewelry that could accidentally complete a circuit.

WARNING

Do not observe ESD protocols while performing electrical safety tests. Intentionally grounding the test operator could lead to a harmful or fatal electric shock.

Protocoles de l’EDD ne devraient pas être respectées lors de l’exécution des tests de sécurité électrique. Intentionnellement à la terre à l’opérateur de test pourrait conduire à un choc électrique dangereux ou mortel.

4. Medical Restrictions

Inform personnel with heart ailments or devices such as pacemakers that the voltages and currents generated by the instrument are very dangerous. If contacted, the instrument may cause heart-related problems. Please have the test operator consult a physician for recommendations.

5. Test Station

Location

Select an area away from the main stream of activity which employees do not walk through in performing their normal duties. If this is not practical because of production line ow, then the area should be roped off and marked for HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING. No employees other than the test operators should be allowed inside. If benches are placed back-to-back, be especially careful about the use of the bench opposite the test station. Signs should be posted: “DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE TEST IN PROGRESS - UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL KEEP AWAY.”

Work Station

Perform the tests on a non-conducting table or workbench, if possible.

There should not be any metal in the work area between the operator and the location where products being tested will be positioned.

Position the instrument so the operator does not have to reach over the product under test to activate or adjust the instrument. If the product or component being tested is small, it may be possible to construct guards or an enclosure, made of a non-conducting material such as clear acrylic, such that the item being tested is within the guards or enclosure during the test, and t them with switches so that the instrument will not operate unless the guards are in place or the enclosure closed. The outlet which is used to provide power to the instrument should be easily accessible.

Keep the area clean and uncluttered. All test equipment and test leads not absolutely necessary for the test should be removed from the test bench and put away. It should be clear to both the operator and to any observers which product is being tested, and which ones are waiting to be tested or have already been tested. If the instrument is used in a matter not specied by Associated Research the protection provided by the instrument may be impaired.

Do not perform Hipot tests in a combustible atmosphere or in any area where combustible materials are present.

KEY SAFETY POINTS TO REMEMBER

• Keep unqualied and unauthorized personnel away from the test area.

• Arrange the test station in a safe and orderly manner.

• Never touch the product or connections during a test.

• In case of any problem, turn off the high voltage rst.

• Properly discharge any item tested with DC before touching connections.

15 PLC Ready Output

The PLC Ready Output option creates a signal that acts as an instrument power-on indicator. The signal is available through the Remote I/O output connector which is located on the back of the instrument. This option closes the relay contact between pin (1) and pin (2) on the output connector once the instrument is powered on. The PLC Ready Output signal replaces the Pass signal that is present on the standard instrument.

It should be noted that the term “Ready” in “PLC Ready Output” only implies that the instrument is powered on. To perform a

test, it should be veried that an interlock device is used or the interlock disable connector that was provided with the instrument

is installed, and that there are no failure indicators active on the instrument. For more information on the Remote I/O signals/ connections and Remote Interlock refer to section Using Remote I/O and PLC Control.

05 5mA AC/DC Output

The 5mA Output option limits the output current with software control. The trip points are adjusted to a maximum of 5mA and

the software has been modied so the high-speed maximum current shutdown is xed at 5mA. The following table shows the specications for this option:

Appendix D - Remote BUS Interface: USB

This section provides information on the proper use and conguration of the bus remote interface. The USB remote interface is

standard on the Hypot.

The USB interface requires you to download a driver in order for the instrument to recognize the USB interface. The driver can be found on the Associated Research website:

http://www.arisafety.com/products/software/USB-driver.aspx

Click on “USB/RS-232 Driver” to download the driver. This link contains an automatic extract and install program. Follow the instructions of the installation program to initialize the driver install. NOTE: The USB port acts as a USB to RS-232 converter. As a result, the PC will recognize the USB port as a virtual COM port.

USB Interface

This interface provides all of the control commands and parameter setting commands of the GPIB interface with the exception of some of the 488.2 Common Commands and SRQ capability. All commands can be found in USB Command List. The identication command *IDN and the Status Reporting commands are also available through USB.

Communications Port Conguration

The COM port should have the following conguration:

• 38400 baud

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• No parity

This interface does not support XON/XOFF protocol or any hardware handshaking.

Disconnect USB Communication Icon

Once the USB communication to the instrument is established the front panel touch screen operations will be restricted and a

new icon will appear on the bottom right of the screen. To regain access to the front panel touch screen, rst stop any active

communication from a PC and next touch the Disconnect RS-232 icon. This icon will reappear if there is an active communication via the USB port.



Page 78

Sending and Receiving Commands

Sending Data

Once a command is sent to the instrument over the USB bus the instrument will send one of two responses. If the transfer was recognized and completed the instrument will return with 06 hex or 6 decimal, the Acknowledge (ACK) ASCII control code. If there is an error with the command string that is sent, the instrument will respond with 15 hex or 21 decimal, the Not Acknowl-

edge (NAK) ASCII control code. The ACK or NAK response allows for software handshaking to monitor and control data ow.

Receiving Data

When requesting data from the instrument it will automatically send the data back to the controller input buffer. The controller input buffer will accumulate data being sent from the instrument, including the ACK and NAK response strings, until it has been read by the controller.

USB Interface Command List

USB Responses

The USB bus will automatically send any response back to the controller’s input buffer.

Rules for Sending Commands to the Instrument

The following conventions are used to describe the commands syntax for Hypot:

• Braces ({ }) enclose each parameter for a command string.

• Triangle brackets (< >) indicate that you must substitute a value for the enclosed parameter.

• The Pipe ( | ) is used to separate different parameter options for a command.

• The command and the parameter data must be separated with a space.

• Each command string should be terminated by the ASCII control code, New Line (NL), (OAh) or the end of line (EOL)

message for GPIB.

• All commands that end with a question mark (?) are query commands and required an IEEE-488 read command to retrieve

the data from the device’s output buffer.

(1) "Valid ASCII" is the character set that is available from the front panel LCD user interface. Consisting of upper case alphabet (A-Z), numbers (0-9) and decimal point (.), asterisk (*), dash (-), under bar (_), tilde (~) and space (SP).

FL <memory number>

Load a le by memory number from non-volatile memory into random access memory RAM.

FN < le name>

Creates a new le name for the active memory loaded into RAM.

SS <step number>

Selects the active selected step to load into RAM. The step must rst be selected before any specic parameters can be edited.

SAA, SAD, SAI

These commands add the appropriate test type within the memory at the step location that has been selected. The parameters of the previous test type will be deleted and the default values for the new test type will be recalled. If the same test type is selected that already exists, the default values will replace the previous parameters.

ADD <n, p1,p2,p3…>

This command adds a step with all parameters to the current le. See the command summary tables below to see the specic

test type for each of these commands

The parameter <n> indicates the test type. The values ACW, DCW, or IR must be used. The parameters <p1,p2> etc. indicate the individual settings for each parameter of the test. All parameters must be included with the command and should appear in the same order that is shown in the table below. Also, like the individual parameter editing commands, the unit should not be included with the value; only the numeric value should be included in the command string. When the scanners are being used they should be appended to the end of the string, with the internal scanner rst if installed, followed by the external scanner if connected to the rear panel scanner control port.

The list of parameters can also be found in the default parameters section of the manual, or refer to Test Parameter Editing Commands and Companion Queries for the proper values.

The parameter values for le editing commands should use complete text (i.e. "ON" and "OFF" or “Real” and “Total”) and not

use the coded values that are associated with the test parameter setting commands discussed in Test Parameter Editing Commands and Companion Queries. The LS? companion command will also list all parameters in complete text in the order as they appear in the following table, preceded by the step number. The following table shows examples of the ADD and LS commands:

Test Parameter Editing Commands and Companion Queries

These commands are used to modify the test parameter within each step. These commands require a parameter value to be included with the command. The companion query command will read the parameter. The writing of the parameter requires that the unit not be included with the value, only the numeric value should be included with the command. Also, when the query commands are used the response will not include the unit’s characters. Many of the commands will function the same way for multiple test types; however, the input range may be different and therefore used a different possible set of values.

LS? List Step Parameters

LS <step number>? List Step Parameters by step number Step number = 1-50

TD?

Read the active data being displayed on the LCD display while the test is in process. Also read the last data taken when the test sequence has completed. Each parameter is separated by commas and includes step number, test type, test status, and metering. The syntax for this command response is {step, test type, status, meter 1, meter 2, meter 3}. ACW test displays 3 meters. Each meter will contain only the value and not the units. In the case of DCW current where both uA and mA are used on the display, the command response will always indicate the current in uA for example 2.0mA will respond with 2000 for 2000uA.

RD <step number>?

Read the results for an individual step. The step number is the actual step number that has been saved within the le, not the

order of which the steps were executed. For example if the test was executed starting from step 3 and ending with step 5 then

the rst step test results will be found in location 3 not in location 1. Each parameter is separated by commas and includes step

number, test type, test status, and metering. The syntax for this command response is {step, test type, status, meter 1,meter 2,meter 3}. ACW test displays 3 meters. Each meter will contain only the value and not the units. In the case of DCW current where both uA and mA are used on the display the command response will always indicate the current in uA for example 2.0mA will respond with 2000 for 2000uA.

RR?

Read the remote Reset input signal. When the remote reset has been activated by closing the contacts the query will return a value of 1 to indicate the instrument is being Reset.

RI?

Read the remote Interlock input signal. When the remote Interlock has been activated by opening the contacts the query will return a value of 0 to indicate the instrument is in the Interlock state and will not be able to generate output voltage or current.

LF?

Lists the le name of the memory loaded into active memory (RAM).

*IDN?

Read the instrument identication string. Company = Associated Research Inc.

*RST

Reset the instrument to original power on conguration. Does not clear Enable register for Standard Summary Status or Standard Event Registers. Does not clear the output queue. Does not clear the power-on-status-clear ag.

*TST?

Performs a self-test of the instrument data memory. Returns 0 if it is successful or 1 if the test fails.

*CLS

Clears the Status Byte Summary register and Event registers. Does not clear the Enable registers.

*OPC

Sets the operation complete bit (bit 0) in the Standard Event register after a command is completed successfully.

*OPC?

Returns an ASCII "1" after the command is executed.

*WAI

After the command is executed, it prevents the instrument from executing any further query or commands until the no-opera-

tion-pending ag is TRUE.

*PSC {1|0}

Sets the power-on status clear bit. When set to 1 the Standard Event Enable register and Status Byte Enable registers will be cleared when power is turned ON. 0 setting indicates the Enable registers will be loaded with Enable register masks from non-volatile memory at power ON.

*PSC?

Queries the power-on status clear setting. Returns 0 or 1.

*ESR?

Queries the Standard Event register. Returns the decimal value of the binary-weighted sum of bits.

*ESE <value>

Standard Event Enable register controls which bits will be logically OR’d together to generate the Event Summary bit 5 (ESB) within the Status Byte.

*ESE?

Queries the Standard Event enable register. Returns the decimal value of the binary-weighted sum of bits.

*STB?

Read the Status Byte. Returns the decimal value of the binary-weighted sum of bits.

*SRE <value>

Service Request Enable register controls which bits from the Status Byte should be used to generate a service request when the bit value = 1.

*SRE?

Queries the Service Request enable register. Returns the decimal value of binary-weighted sum of bits.

Status Reporting

The status reporting system is congured using two types of registers. An Event register and a Summary register. The Summary

register is known as the Status Byte register and records high-level summary information acquired by the Event registers.

An Event register report denes conditions or messages at each bit. The bits are latched and remain at an active state until the

register is either Read or Cleared. Reading the Event register automatically clears the register and sets all bits to inactive state or 0. When querying an Event register the information is returned as a decimal number representing the binary-weighted sum of all bits within the register.

The Enable registers bits represent the selection of bits that will be logically OR’d together to form the summary bit in the Status Byte. The *CLS command will not clear the Enable registers and if you wish to clear the register you must set it to a value of 0. Like the Event register, the enable register is represented as a decimal number that equals the binary-weighted sum of all bits.

The Enable register will clear to value a of 0 at power up unless the *PSC 0 command had been executed before power-off. The *PSC command tells the device whether or not it should clear the Enable registers at power-on. Using this command will allow SQRs to function immediately after power-on.
