HV1, HV2

The HV1 input terminal is used as the primary high voltage input for the scanner box. The HV2 output terminal is used to daisy chain the high voltage output to the next scanner when multiple scanner boxes are used together.

CH1 ~ CH8

These channels are connected to the DUTs that are to be tested. The output state is configured from the GPT-9000 safety tester master.

Note: For the GSB-02 CH7 and CH8 are used for ground bond testing only.

RS232/IN

These two RS232 interfaces are the communication links between the master (safety tester) to slave (scanner box). They are also used to connect multiple scanner boxes in a daisy chain.

In addition the RS232/IN port is also used to perform firmware updates.

GSB-01/GSB-02 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 a safe work environment when GSB-01/GSB-02 is connected to the GPT-9000 series safety testers.

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 instrument with the scanner boxes.

1. Only technically qualified personnel should be

allowed to operate the safety tester and scanner box(es).

2. The operating workplace must be fully isolated,

especially when the instrument is in operation. The instruments should be clearly labeled with appropriate warning signage.

3. The operator should not wear any conductive

materials, jewelry, badges, or other items, such as 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.

Safety Considerations

Workplace Precautions

GETTING STARTED

6. Ensure any devices that are adversely affected

by magnetic fields are not placed near the tester and scanner box(es).

GSB-01/GSB-02 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 along with any conned scanner boxes are 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 instrument.

1. Never touch the safety tester, lead wires,

terminals, probes, connected scanner box(es) or any 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

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.

GSB-01/GSB-02 Series User Manual

Background

The GSB-01/GSB-02 are used with high voltage devices 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 scanner box(es) are always

connected to an earth ground.

3. Test the operation of the safety tester + scanner

box(es) 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.
