Testing Dielectric Strength

Before performing any dielectric strength or HIPOT (High Potential) testing on the RUGGEDCOM RX1512 in the
field, do the following:
IMPORTANT!
In normal operation, the jumper between the chassis ground and surge ground terminals must be
installed for proper operation. Removing the jumper may void the warranty.
CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Before testing the dielectric strength (HIPOT), remove
the metal jumper. Damage to equipment may occur.
1. Remove the metal jumper that connects surge ground terminal and the chassis ground terminal. This metal
jumper connects transient suppression circuitry to chassis ground and must be removed in order to avoid
damage to transient suppression circuitry during testing.

2. Connect one terminal from the HIPOT tester to the positive terminal and the negative terminal. Connect the
second terminal of the HIPOT tester to chassis ground terminal. Do not connect the HIPOT tester to surge
ground terminal.
3. Following the test, install the metal jumper between the surge ground terminal and the chassis ground
terminal.
