GPT-9600 Series Quick Start Guide OPERATION Status Modes This section describes the overall structure of the operating modes for the GPT-9600 Series safety testers. The testers have 6 status modes: (EDIT, READY, TEST, STOP, FAIL, PASS). The flow chart below describes how to navigate from mode to mode.
OPERATION 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. READY Status H = 2 2 .
GPT-9600 Series Quick Start Guide Go to EDIT Status Press the EDIT key. EDIT Set the Test Voltage When in the READY mode, turn the scroll wheel knob to set the test voltage. Start Testing Press the START button to begin testing. The tester will go into TEST status. WARNING WARNING START If Double Action is active, the START button must be pressed within 500ms after the STOP button was pressed to be able to start testing.
OPERATION High limit H = 2 2 . 0mA 0 00 A CW Low limit L = 0 . 0 0mA kV D CW EDIT Status T=174S mA I R ACW, DCW and IR test indicators Time setting ED I T MO D E Time soft-key Ground mode Choose Test Function Use the ACW, DCW or IR soft-keys to choose a test function. T I ME A CW Choose High/Low limits Use the FIELD key to bring the cursor to the H or L setting. Use the scroll wheel to edit the setting. Test Time Use the FIELD key to select the T setting.
GPT-9600 Series Quick Start Guide Exit EDIT status and Return to READY Status Press the ESC key. The tester does not save and returns back to READY status. ESC TEST Status Description TEST status is active when a test is running. Pressing STOP will cancel the test and put the tester into the STOP status. Waiting for the test to complete will result in a PASS or FAIL judgment. TEST Status H = 2 2 . 0mA 0 14 A CW kV D CW L = 0 .
OPERATION PASS/FAIL Result Results When the tester is allowed to run to completion, the test result is shown as a PASS or FAIL. When the PASS or FAIL results are shown on the screen, the PASS or FAIL indicators will also light up. Results FAIL Status H = 2 2 . 0mA 1 00 A CW kV D CW L = 0 . 0 0mA T=060S 23 0 mA FA I L I R MO D E Return to READY Status Press the STOP button once for a PASS judgment, or twice for a FAIL judgment.
GPT-9600 Series Quick Start Guide View FAIL Auto Mode Test Results For a Fail Judgment, press the STOP button once to turn off the buzzer tone. Then turn the scroll wheel left or right to view test results. Pressing the STOP button again will return the tester to READY status. STOP STOP Status Description STOP status is shown when a test does not finish running and has been stopped by the operator. When in STOP status, pressing STOP will return the tester to READY status. STOP Status H = 2 2 .
