GPT-9000/9000A Series User Manual ACW, DCW, IR and GB 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 81).  Choose/Recall a Manual Test number → from page 39.
PAGE 39
OPERATION 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 73 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.
PAGE 40
GPT-9000/9000A Series User Manual 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.

OPERATION Note When setting the voltage, be aware that a maximum of 200VA can be set for ACW and 50W for DCW (GPT-98XX) or 500VA and 100W, respectively for GPT-99XX/99XXA. The ground bond voltage (GBV) is calculated as the HI SET limit x Test Current. Setting the Test Frequency Background Steps A test frequency of 60Hz or 50Hz can be set, regardless of the input line voltage. The test frequency setting only applies to ACW and GB tests. 1.
PAGE 44
GPT-9000/9000A Series User Manual Setting the Upper and Lower Limits Background Steps There is both a LO and HI judgment setting. When the measured value is below the LO SET setting, the test will be judged as FAIL. When the value exceeds the HI SET setting the test will be judged as FAIL. Any measurement between the LO SET and HI SET setting is judged as PASS. The LO SET limit cannot be made greater than the HI SET limit. 1.

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.

The discharge time and initial test time cannot be edited.
PAGE 50
GPT-9000/9000A Series User Manual 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 (approximately 150ms) 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 (Approximately 150ms) Steps time Discharge time 1.

GPT-9000/9000A Series User Manual 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.

OPERATION Setting PASS HOLD Background Note Steps The PASS HOLD settings only apply to the selected test in an AUTO test. When the PASS HOLD setting is set to ON, a PASS judgment is held until the START button is pressed. The PASS HOLD setting only applies to AUTO tests. This setting is ignored when running a single MANU test. 1. Press the UTILITY key on the front panel when the tester is in EDIT status. The display will go from the normal EDIT status to the MANU Utility menu for the current test.
PAGE 56
GPT-9000/9000A Series User Manual Note The ESC key can be pressed at any time in the MANU Utility menu to cancel and exit. Setting FAIL MODE Background The FAIL MODE settings only apply to the selected test in AUTO tests. FAIL MODE has three options, CONTINUE, HOLD and STOP. When FAIL MODE is set to CONTINUE the tester will continue testing after a FAIL judgment. When set to HOLD, the tester will hold the test on a FAIL judgment, and then continue testing after the START key is pressed.
PAGE 57
OPERATION 2. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to move to the FAIL MODE setting. 3. Use the scroll wheel to set FAIL MODE. FAIL MODE CONTINUE, HOLD, STOP 4. 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 MAX HOLD Background Steps The MAX HOLD setting will hold the maximum current measured in the ACW and DCW tests or the maximum resistance measured in IR and GB tests. 1.

Setting the Grounding Mode Background When GROUND MODE is set to ON, the GPT9000/9000A grounds the return terminal to the ground.
PAGE 59
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.

GPT-9000/9000A Series User Manual Command Forms Query A query is a simple or compound command followed by a question mark (?). A parameter (data) is returned. Example MANU:ACW:VOLTage? Commands and queries have two different forms, long and short. The command syntax is written with the short form of the command in capitals and the remainder (long form) in lower case. The commands can be written in capitals or lower-case, just so long as the short or long forms are complete.
