Survey the test station. Make sure it is safe & orderly.
Always keep unqualifi ed/unauthorized personnel away from the test area.
Familiarize yourself with safety protocols in the event of a problem.
Exercise caution and never touch products or connections during a test.
Train operators. Never touch clips directly and always connect the return lead fi rst.
You should always know when a test is being performed.

TEST CONNECTIONS
ADAPTER BOX CONNECTIONS (8204/8254)
The adapter box (P/N 38482) provides an easy way to connect the OMNIA II to a
device under test (DUT).
Note: If you are testing a Class I product, safety agencies may require you to perform
a Ground Bond test on the ground circuit of the DUT along with the Hipot test.
Using the output ports on the rear panel, plug the black high voltage lead in
1
the High Voltage terminal.
Plug the sense lead into the Sense (+) terminal. Plug the high current test
2
lead into the Current terminal. These two red leads act as the ground
connection.
Connect the ground return clip (P/N 38490) to the dead metal on the chassis
3
of the DUT. Plug the sense lead into the Sense (-) terminal. Plug the return
lead into the Return terminal. Always check to make sure a good connection
is made between the DUT and the return clip.
Plug the power cord of the DUT into the adapter box receptacle.

If you want you can use test leads to connect the OMNIA II to the DUT.
Plug the black return lead (P/N 38490) into the Return terminal. Plug black
1
sense lead into the Sense (-) terminal.
Attach the clip-terminated end of the return lead to the dead metal on
2
the chassis of the DUT.
Connect the high voltage lead (P/N 4040A-08) into the High Voltage
