OPERATION Menu Tree This section describes the overall structure of the operation statuses and modes for the GPT-9000 safety testers. The testers have two main testing modes (MANU, AUTO) and 5 main operation statuses (VIEW, EDIT, READY, TEST and STOP).
GPT-9000 Series User Manual Menu Tree Overview VIEW status VIEW status is used to view the parameters of the selected manual test/automatic test. The VIEW status is also used to put the tester into MANU or AUTO mode.

OPERATION Manual Testing This section describes how to create, edit and run a single ACW, DCW, IR or GB safety test. Each Manual setting described in this chapter only applies to the selected manual test – no other manual tests are affected. Each manual test can be stored/recalled to/from one of 100 memory locations. Each stored manual test can be used as a test step when creating an AUTO test (page 79). Choose/Recall a Manual Test number → from page 36. Edit Manual Test Settings → from page 37.
GPT-9000 Series User Manual Choose/Recall a Manual Test Number Background Steps ACW, DCW, IR and GB tests can only be created in the MANU (manual) mode. MANU number 001 to 100 can be saved and thus be loaded when editing/creating a MANU test or AUTO test. MANU number 000 is a special mode. See page 67 for details on the special mode. 1. If the tester is in AUTO mode, press and hold the MANU/AUTO key for three seconds to switch to MANU mode.
OPERATION Note The MANU number can only be chosen in VIEW status. If in the EDIT status, switch to the VIEW status by pressing the EDIT/SAVE or ESC key. Edit Manual Test Settings Background To edit any of the manual test settings, the tester must be in EDIT status. Any settings or parameters that are edited only apply to the currently selected MANU number. Steps 1. Press the EDIT/SAVE key when in VIEW status to enter the EDIT status. This will enter the EDIT status for the chosen test number.
GPT-9000 Series User Manual Setting the Test Function Background After a MANU number has been chosen and the tester is in EDIT status, a test function can be set. There are four test functions, AC Withstand, DC Withstand, Insulation Resistance and Ground Bond. Steps 1. To choose the test function, press the ACW, DCW, IR or GB soft-keys. A CW D CW I R GB 2.

OPERATION Setting the Test Time (Timer) Background The TIMER setting is used to set the test time for the current test. The test time determines how long the test voltage or current is applied to the DUT. This test time does not include Ramp , initial start time or discharge time (note: GB does not have Ramp or discharge times). The test time can be set from 0.5 seconds to 999.9 seconds for ACW, DCW and GB and 1.0 second to 999.9 seconds for IR, with a resolution of 0.1 seconds for all modes.

OPERATION Setting the Ramp Up Time Background The Ramp Up time is the total time taken for the tester to reach the test voltage level. The Ramp Up time starts after the initial time (100ms) with a start voltage of 50 volts. The Ramp Up time can be set from 000.1 to 999.9 seconds. The Ramp Up time is only applicable for ACW, DCW and IR tests. Test V Start V RAMP TEST TIME Initial time (100ms) Steps time Discharge time 1.

Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to bring the cursor to the MANU test file name at the top of the screen.
OPERATION Setting the ARC Mode Background ARC detection, otherwise known as flashover detection, detects fast voltage or current transients that are not normally detected. Arcing is usually an indicator of poor withstanding insulation, electrode gaps or other insulating problems that cause temporary spikes in current or voltage during ACW and DCW testing. There are three ARC detection settings: OFF, ON AND CONTINUE, ON AND STOP.
GPT-9000 Series User Manual 3. Use the scroll wheel to set the ARC mode. ARC MODES: OFF, ON AND CONTINUE, ON AND STOP 4. Press the EDIT/SAVE key to save and exit the MANU Utility and go back to EDIT status. Note EDIT/SAVE The ESC key can be pressed at any time in the Utility menu to cancel and exit. 5. If the ARC MODE was set to either ON AND CONTINUE, or ON AND STOP, the ARC current level can be edited. 6. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to move the cursor to the ARC setting. 7.

Press the EDIT/SAVE key to save and exit the MANU Utility menu. Note EDIT/SAVE The ESC key can be pressed at any time in the MANU Utility menu to cancel and exit. Setting the Grounding Mode Background When GROUND MODE is set to ON, the GPT9000 grounds the return terminal to the ground.
OPERATION ground from the DUT side of the testing circuit will not be measured. For this reason, this testing mode is able to measure to a higher resolution. The GROUND MODE is always set to OFF for IR and GB tests.

OPERATION Warning When GROUND MODE is set to OFF, the DUT, fixtures or connected instrumentation cannot be grounded. This will short circuit the internal circuitry during a test. For ACW and DCW tests, if it is not known whether the DUT test setup is grounded or not, always set GROUND MODE to ON. Only set GROUND MODE to OFF when the DUT is floating electrically. Steps 1. Press the UTILITY key on the front panel when the tester is in EDIT status.

OPERATION Saving and Exiting EDIT Status Background Warning Steps After all test parameters have been set, the test can be saved. After a test is saved it can be used when creating an AUTO test. The special MANU number, 000, can be saved, however it cannot be used for AUTO tests. See page 67 for details. 1. When in EDIT status, press the EDIT/SAVE key to save the current test. This will enter the VIEW status for the chosen test number.
GPT-9000 Series User Manual Running a MANU Test Background Note A test can be run when the tester is in READY status. The tester cannot start to run a test under the following conditions: A protection setting has been tripped; when a protection setting has been tripped the corresponding error message is displayed on the screen.

GPT-9000 Series User Manual FAQ • The tester will not turn on. • The panel keys are not working. • When I press the START button the tester will not start testing? • The accuracy does not match the specification. The tester will not turn on. Ensure the power cord is connected. Ensure the line input is set to the correct line voltage. Check to make sure the fuse is not blown. See page 146. The panel keys are not working. Ensure the tester is not in remote mode, page 107.
FAQ If “Interlock” is enabled, the interlock key must be inserted into the signal I/O port on the rear before a test can be started. See page 102 for details. The accuracy does not match the specification. Make sure the tester is powered On for at least 30 minutes, within +15°C~+35°C. This is necessary to stabilize the unit to match the specification.
