SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This chapter contains important safety
instructions that you must follow during
operation and storage. Read the following before
any operation to ensure your safety and to keep
the instrument in the best possible condition.
Safety Symbols
These safety symbols may appear in this manual or on the
instrument.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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
instrument.
Avoid severe impact or rough handling that
leads to damaging the instrument.
Do not discharge static electricity to the
instrument.
Use only mating connectors, not bare wires, for
the terminals.
Do not block the cooling fan opening.
Do not disassemble the instrument unless you
are qualified.
(Measurement categories) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the
measurement categories and their requirements as follows. The
GPT-9600 Series does not fall under category II, III or IV.
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.
Power Supply
WARNING
AC Input voltage range:
100-120/220-240VAC ±10%
Frequency: 50Hz/60Hz
To avoid electrical shock connect the protective
grounding conductor of the AC power cord to
an earth ground.
Connect the Earth terminal on rear panel to an
earth ground.

Cleaning the
GPT-9600
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,
almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)
Relative Humidity: ≤ 70% (no condensation)
Altitude: < 2000m
Temperature: 0˚C~40˚C
(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the pollution degrees
and their requirements as follows. The GPT-9600 Series 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.

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.

GPT-9600 Series Quick Start Guide
INTRODUCTION
This Quick Start Guide is intended as a fast introduction to
operating the GPT-9600 Series Safety Testers. This Quick Start
Guide assumes that the user is familiar with safety testers.
For comprehensive instructions on the GPT-9600 Series, please see
the User Manual, located on the accompanying CD.
GPT-9600 Series Overview
The GPT-9600 Series Safety Testers are AC/DC withstanding
voltage and insulation resistance safety testers. The GPT-9603 is an
AC/DC withstanding and insulation resistance safety tester. The
GPT-9602 is an AC/DC withstanding safety tester. The GPT-9612 is
an AC withstanding and insulation resistance safety tester, while
the GPT-9601 is purely an ACW tester.
Note: Throughout this quick start guide, the terms ACW, DCW and
IR refer to AC Withstanding, DC Withstanding and Insulation
Resistance, respectively. GPT-9600 refers to any of the GPT-96XX
models.

READY Status
Description
When the tester is in READY status, it is ready
to begin testing. Pressing the START button
will begin testing and put the tester into TEST
status. Pressing the EDIT key will put the tester
into the EDIT status. Pressing the UTILIY key
will enter the Common Utility settings.
The READY status can also be used to set the
testing mode. The testing mode can be set to
run a single test at a time or to run two different
tests sequentially.

Set the Testing Mode
Press the MODE soft-key to toggle between MODE
(single test) and each of the Auto Modes. (AC-IR,
IR-AC, DC-IR, IR-DC)
The Auto Mode function sets two different test
functions and the order that will they run. I.e., AC-IR
means an ACW test is performed followed by an IR
test.
When the unit is in TEST status, the Test Mode
determines whether a single test is run or if two tests
are run sequentially.
