Do not dispose electronic equipment as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this
instrument was purchased.
General
Guideline
CAUTION
Do not place any heavy object on the GPT-9000.
Avoid severe impact or rough handling that
leads to damaging the GPT-9000.
Do not discharge static electricity to the GPT-
9000.
Use only mating connectors, not bare wires, for
the terminals.
Do not block the cooling fan opening.
Do not disassemble the GPT-9000 unless you are
qualified.
(Measurement categories) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the
measurement categories and their requirements as follows. the GPT
falls under category I.
Measurement category IV is for measurement performed at the
source of low-voltage installation.
Measurement category III is for measurement performed in the
building installation.
Measurement category II is for measurement performed on the
circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation.
Measurement category I is for measurements performed on
circuits not directly connected to Mains.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning the
GPT-9000
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.
Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild
detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid.
Do not use chemicals containing harsh material
such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.
Operation
Environment
Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,
(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the pollution degrees
and their requirements as follows. The GPT-9000 falls under degree
2.
Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or
gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric
strength or surface resistivity”.
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive
pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution
occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-
conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to
condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment
is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight,
precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature
nor humidity is controlled.
Storage

Location: Indoor
Temperature: -10°C to 70°C

Disposal
Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted

Power cord for the United Kingdom
When using the safety tester in the United Kingdom, make sure the
power cord meets the following safety instructions.
NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with
the coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed
as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to
the 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 the
terminal marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.
If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment
or contact the supplier.
This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and
approved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the
equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, a cable
of 0.75mm2 should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger
conductors would normally require 13A types, depending on the
connection method used.
Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is
engaged in a live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is
deemed hazardous, turn off the mains power and remove the cable,
any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be
immediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the above
standard.

Background
The GPT-9000 is a high voltage instrument that
outputs dangerous voltages. The following
section describes precautions and procedures
that must be followed to ensure a safe work
environment.
WARNING
The GPT-9000 generates voltages in excess of
5kVAC or 6kVDC. Follow all safety precautions,
warnings and directions given in the following
section when using the GPT-9000.
1. Only technically qualified personnel should be
allowed to operate the safety tester.
2. The operating workplace must be fully isolated,
especially when the instrument is in operation.
The instrument should be clearly labeled with
appropriate warning signage.
3. The operator should not wear any conductive
materials, jewelry, badges, or other items, such
wrist watches.
4. The operator should wear insulation gloves for
high voltage protection.
5. Ensure the earth ground of the line voltage is
properly grounded.
6. Ensure any devices that are adversely affected
by magnetic fields are not placed near the
tester.
Workplace Precautions

GPT-9000 Series User Manual
Background
The GPT-9000 is a high voltage instrument that
outputs dangerous voltages. The following
section describes precautions and procedures
that must be followed to ensure that the tester
is operated in a safe manner.
WARNING
The GPT-9000 generates voltages of up to 5kVAC
or 6kVDC. Follow all safety precautions, warnings
and directions given in the following section when
using the GPT-9000.
1. Never touch the safety tester, lead wires,
terminals, probes and other connected
equipment when the tester is testing.
2. Do not turn the safety tester on and off quickly
or repeatedly. When turning the power off,
please allow a few moments before turning the
power back on. This will allow the protection
circuits to properly initialize.
Do not turn the power off when a test is
running, unless in an emergency.
3. Only use those test leads supplied with the
instrument. Leads with inappropriate gauges
can be dangerous to both the operator and the
instrument.
For GB testing, never use the Sense leads on the
SOURCE terminals.
4. Do not short the HIGH VOLTAGE terminal
with ground. Doing so could charge the chassis
to dangerously high voltages.
Operating Precautions
24
GETTING STARTED
5. Ensure the earth ground of the line voltage is
properly grounded.
6. Only connect the test leads to the HIGH
VOLTAGE/SOURCE H/SENSE H terminals
before the start of a test. Keep the test leads
disconnected at all other times.
7. Always press the STOP button when pausing
testing.
8. Do not leave the safety tester unattended.
Always turn the power off when leaving the
testing area.
9. When remotely controlling the safety tester,
ensure adequate safety measures are in place to
prevent:
Inadvertent output of the test voltage.
Accidental contact with the instrument during
testing. Ensure that the instrument and DUT are
fully isolated when the instrument is remotely
controlled.
10. Ensure an adequate discharge time for the
DUT.
When DCW or IR tests are performed, the DUT,
test leads and probes become highly charged.
The GPT-9000 has discharge circuitry to
discharge the DUT after each test. The time
required for a DUT to discharge depends on the
DUT and test voltage.
Never disconnect the safety tester before a
discharge is completed.
25
GPT-9000 Series User Manual
Background
The GPT-9000 is a high voltage device and as
such, daily safety checks should be made to
ensure safe operation.
1. Ensure all test leads are not broken and are free
from defects such as cracks or splitting.
2. Ensure the safety tester is always connected to
an earth ground.
3. Test the safety tester operation with a low
voltage/current output:
Ensure the safety tester generates a FAIL
judgment when the HIGH VOLTAGE and
RETURN terminals are shorted (using the
lowest voltage/current as the testing
parameters).
WARNING
Do not use high voltages/currents when the HIGH
VOLTAGE and RETURN terminals are shorted. It
may result in damage to the instrument.
