user operation. Once it is on, users can start and stop the test without changing
any settings. To unlock the keyboard, input the password you set earlier. To
change the password, please refer to the system setup steps given earlier.
(2) Pass Hold Time: The Retaining time for the qualified goods message display. Your
11
machine prompts the message “PASS” and the output signal at the remote control
port once a product is tested as qualified. This function sets up a time span of
message display and signal output with the options of 50mS, 100mS, 500mS, 1S,
2S, 5S and Infinity. The “Infinity” option keeps on displaying test results until the
ABORT key is pressed.
(3) Trig Wait Time: This is the time span after your machine enters the test page (the
“WAIT” message prompts in the status column) by pressing the test key until there
is a high voltage current output for the test. This is used to get the test jig
triggered and positioned for testing.
(4) Alarm Mode: The alert mode has the options of ALL (alert all), PASS (alert for
qualified goods), FAIL (alert for failed goods), and OFF.
(5) Instant: You have to press and hold the TEST key to run the test in this mode.
Release the key and the test stops immediately.
(6) Test Mode: You may run the test in a single- or multi-step mode. You may press
the up and down arrow key in single-step mode to select the desired test step and
get test results immediately. Your machine begins test with the first step in SETUP
through to the last one in multi-step mode. Test results are determined by the
subsequent settings.
(7) Next Step By: In multi-step mode your machine runs the next step based on the
given trigger source after the first one has ended. With the option “AUTO”, the
test runs the next step automatically; “Trig”, the next step, will run only after the
TEST key is pressed. This item is available only when Test Mode is set to the
option ALL.
(8) Break Test: In multi-step mode, your machine stops or continues the test based
on the settings in this field in case the results are failed goods. With option “1
FAIL”, the test stops immediately in case of failed goods; for “OFF”, the test ends
only after the last step is executed. This item is available only when Test Mode is
set to the option ALL.
(9) Output Signal: In multi-step mode, your machine gives a results signal in case this
is set to the option “EACH”; with the option “TOTAL” it gives the output signal
“PASS” or “FAIL” only after the test has ended.

3.5 Specification setup description 1 (SETUP)
(1) STEP: Step ID. Each file can have up to 16 steps. Press the software key COPY to
add the next step; press the software key DEL to delete the step where the cursor
is positioned. Each file must have at least one step.
(2) MODE: There are three test mode options: ACW, DCW, IR which you can select
with a software key.
(3) VOLT: Set up the test voltage by typing its value with a numeric key. The
maximum voltage varies with the test mode for ACW: 5.0kV, DCW: 6kV, IR: 1kV.
Their minimum values are all 0.1kV.
(4) FREQ: You may opt for a test frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz.
(5) HI.: This is the upper limit of measurement. In case test readings exceed this limit
the test has failed and is ended immediately. This value varies with the test mode
for ACW: 26mA, DCW: 11mA, IR: 1200MΩ. For IR tests with settings at 1200M, no
upper limit will be judged.
(6) LO.: This is the lower limit of measurement. In case test readings exceed this limit,
the test has failed and is ended immediately. For settings at a value 0, no lower
limit will be judged.
(7) Ramp: This is the time span for the voltage to rise from 0 to the target value
ranging from 10S to 0.1S.
(8) DWEL: This is the time span for sustaining the test after the voltage reaches the
given settings. For a setting of value 0, the test continues until the stop key is
pressed or the test fails.
(9) CH+, CH-: This item sets up the high or low voltage output channel. There are 8
options for you to set as desired. Check the channel number in the CH+ row to
13
set it as the high voltage channel and in the CH- row to set it as the low voltage
channel; numbers not checked represent closed channels. See below for the
setup page.
(1) ARC: This item sets up arc sensitivity. The greater the value is, the less sensitive
the arc detection is. Setting it to 0 will disable your machine from making any
judgment over the arc during the test.
(2) OFFS: This item resets the test end to prevent the impact of the external jig on
accuracy. It deducts the leak current by the jig in advance and displays the actual
leak current of the DUT with the equation “measurement readings = actual
measurement less reset value”. This item has two options: Manual and auto. The
first requires manual input of the leak current value. The second contains the
14
following steps: Remove the DUT from your machine; point the cursor to the field
OFFS and press the software key AUTO; your machine measures according to the
given voltage statistics and prompts the results; the message “SAVE=ENTER”
displays after the measurement operation is done; press the ENTER key to save
the test value or the EXIT key to exit without saving it; the saved value will be
deducted from each measurement to enable a more accurate test.
(3) OPEN: Open circuit detection sensitivity. Poor connection of the high voltage test
wire to the DUT may lead to a lower measurement current and invalid qualified
product results in the voltage test. Once this function is enabled (with non-zero
settings) your machine will measure the DUT's capacitance with low voltage for
about 200ms before the high voltage test begins. In case the measured
capacitance value is lower than the settings, the test wire may not be connected
to the DUT properly and your machine will stop the test and prompt the message
“OPEN”.
You may set this in two options: Manual and auto. The first requires manual input
of the given value. The second contains the following steps: Connect the DUT
properly; point the cursor to the field OPEN and press the software key AUTO;
your machine measures the given output channel and prompts the results; the
message “SAVE=ENTER” displays after the measurement operation is done; press
the ENTER key to save the test value or the EXIT key to exit without saving it.
Note: In case readings with or without connection to the DUT differ from each
other in a range less than 20, then its capacitance is too small and may not be
valid for using this method for an open circuit test.
(4) DLAY: This item is aimed at judging the delay time and is editable only in IR
mode. For IR tests of the DUT with capacitance, this can be judged only after the
capacitor is fully charged. The delay time starts counting only after voltage has
reached the settings. Before that, your machine displays measurement without
the upper and lower limit determination and enters judgment mode immediately
after the delay time has expired. As the delay time is contained in the test time,
its settings must be lower than the latter.
(5) High voltage output time and results determination timing: See the diagrams
below for the results determination the timing after the TEST key is pressed by
the user. Please note that in the IR delay and ascending time, no upper and lower
limit will be determined while only the upper limit will be determined in the
15
ascending time of the ACW and DCW modes.
16
3.7 File management (FILE)
(1) Save As..: This option saves the setup file with a new file name (there can be up
to 30 files saved in your machine). The “file save” page displays the existing files
