THE CH2 TESTER

Introduction

Use this guide to install Cirris Easy-Wire™software, setup the CH2 tester, connect the CH2

tester to a network, get an overview of the test system, and set up CH2 expandability features.

If you need assistance at any time, call your Cirris Customer Support representative. In the

U.S.A. Cirris Sales and Customer Support may be reached at 1-800-441-9910.

Hipot Warning!

Possible electric shock!

Cirris hipot testers are designed to be safe for operators. Injuries from hipot test

equipment are rare. Still, not every hipot test situation is safe. Hipot testing

does not present a danger to healthy individuals; however, occasional mild

electric shock may be experienced. Small shocks only occur during a hipot test

when the operator touches an energized connection point. Any shock from the

tester may result in a hipot test failure.

Medical Warning!

A child or individual wearing a cardiac pacemaker, an insulin pump, or any

electronically controlled medical device should NOT perform hipot testing.

For ideas on improving hipot safety visit:

www.cirris.com/testing/guidelines/hipot_safety.html

GENERAL INFORMATION

Maintenance

Tester Maintenance

The CH2 tester requires no maintenance. If desired you may clean the outside surfaces of the

CH2 tester. Since some cleaning agents leave a conductive residue, take special care to not

allow the cleaning agents to come into contact with the test point connectors or the circuitry

inside the casework.

Fixture Maintenance

The fixturing contacts that mate to the device-under-test may wear due to repeated insertion

cycles. Contact wear can result in higher connection resistances which increases the

measured resistances for the device-under-test. For this reason Cirris recommends that

customers evaluate the number of mating cycles and the cycle life of fixture contacts to

determine maintenance intervals for testing and/or replacing fixturing contacts. A good way to

check fixture contact resistance is to construct and use a shorting block. For more information

on creating shorting blocks, see http://www.cirris.com/adapters/test-adapt.html.

Service

Cirris Testers are modular in design for easy servicing. If your Cirris tester requires service, as

directed by Cirris support personnel, you may need to send the affected module or the entire

tester back to Cirris for repair. If needed during the repair period, a loaner tester can be sent

to you. You should not attempt to service any circuit board at the component level. All

component-level service should be performed by Cirris technicians.

Calibration

With your CH2 tester you should have received a Certificate of Verification. Before leaving the

factory every CH2 tester is calibrated in compliance with ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 and MIL-

STD-45662A to standards traceable to the NIST in the United States. The calibration of the

tester should thereafter be verified annually.

To verify calibration and functionality, you can purchase the CH2 Performance Check Kit. In

addition to the performance check kit, you need a calibrated volt meter and high voltage probe

capable of measuring up to 1500 VDC.

Note: In the event a Cirris tester is found to be out of calibration, there are no adjustable

controls; the tester, or the affected portions of the tester, must be sent back to a Cirris facility

for repair.

Tester Symbols

The yellow lightning bolt symbols on the CH2 tester inform operators that high voltage is

involved with the scanner modules and that there is risk of electric shock. The yellow

exclamation mark means to use caution and see the manual for more information. See more

details below.

Caution: See

manual for more

Information

Risk of shock

When performing a high voltage test, the CH2 tester

limits the Total Current to 2.5 milliamps and the applied

charge to 45 micro coulombs. These electrical levels

are considered safe for adults; however, some people

could be adversely affected even at these levels. If

you are using an xHV supply, the applied current limit

is 22 milliamps. For these reasons, Cirris recommends

that you keep the Real Current setting as low as

possible (1 milliamp or smaller), and avoid touching the

cable during the hipot test. Using a DC voltage for

high voltage testing also provides an added level of

operator safety. See the Cirris website for more hipot

safety information.

See manual for more

Information

The symbols with a white exclamation mark on the back

of the tester, inform operators that more information

about the Digital I/O, Auxiliary HV input, and Auxiliary

Input Supply Connections can be found in the CH2

User Manual and in the Easy-Wire on-line manual/help

system.

The Digital I/O Connector allows the tester to respond

to inputs and create outputs without the use of a PLC.

Easy-Wire software version 8.80 or higher has Digital

I/O capability. See the Easy-Wire help system for more

information.

The Auxiliary HV Input and Auxiliary Supply

Connections are for non-standard features. You can

call Cirris for more information on the intended function

of these features.

Conditions for Operation

Your CH2 Tester is intended to be used indoors at a temperature of 50 to 104 degrees

Fahrenheit (10 to 40 degrees Celsius). Best performance can be obtained at a relative

humidity less than 70%. Insulation Resistance Measurements will degrade at over 70%

relative humidity. The unit can be mounted in a ventilated compartment. Be sure not to block

the vents on the sides and back of the tester.

Never apply live voltages to the test points or probe input of your Cirris tester. Power supplies

and other accessories not approved by Cirris may cause damage or present a hazard. If you

use a Cirris product in a manner not specified in this manual and the accompanying help

system, the protection provided by the product may be impaired.

Updating a Previous Installation

IMPORTANT! Back up your database before you update your Cirris software installation.

Depending on the software version that is currently installed, you may need to perform special

steps before installing the current version.

•If your previously installed software version is older than 2008.2.0, you must remove the previous

version and store its data files before you install the new version.

•If your previously installed software version is 2008.2.0 or newer, proceed with the instructions

below.

Note: If you are unsure of the previously installed version number, start your Easy-Wire software

and check the version information (located on the right side of the Easy-Wire main menu) before

proceeding.

Installing Easy-Wire Software and Cirris Server Software

There may be driver conflicts between your tester and Windows. We therefore advise you to

install the software before attaching the tester.

1. Install Cirris Server Software on the server by downloading Cirris Server Software

from cirrris.com and following the installation steps as they appear on screen. This will

allow networking on all Easy-Wire stations.

2. Install Easy-Wire on each of the client PCs in the same manner by downloading Easy-

Wire from cirris.com and following the installation steps as they appear on screen.

During the software install, the drivers will automatically load to your machine. If the installation is aborted

or fails, you can install the drivers manually. The driver needed to run the USB testers is called

Silicon_Labs_Driver. The current version can be found under C:\Program Files

(x86)\Cirris\Easywire\Silicon_Labs_Driver.
