Chapter 2 Installation
Basic installation of your new Exatron handler will consist of the following three major steps:
I. Unpacking the handling equipment and assembling its peripheral parts.
II. Powering up the handler and running Diagnostics sequences.
III. Cycling sample tubes of devices.
These multi-part steps are described in detail below. After these steps are completed you will be ready to
interface the handler to your tester/prom programmer as described in chapter 3, interface information.
Please read and understand this entire User's Manual before installing or using your Exatron
handler. The following safety procedures must be followed at all times.
Exatron Safety Features
____________________________________________________________________________
Electrical Hazards
High Voltage Testing Applications:
It is the policy of Exatron to determine the precise application for
every handler we make prior to shipment. In some cases, the handler will be used to test devices at high
voltages. If your handler will be used to test devices with voltages in excess of 80 VDC or 80 VAC, the
handler will need to be equipped with safety covers.
If Exatron is notified of high voltage requirements as described above on the written purchase order at the
time of order placement, we will equip your handler with safety covers having electrical interlock switches.
These switches are intended to be utilized by the operator by connecting them to the customer-supplied
tester. When the interlock switch is open, the tester will be shut down with no possibility of high voltage at
the handler's contacts. All safety hardware should be verified for proper operation by the customer's own
in-house safety officer.
If you intend to use this handler for high voltage testing, notify Exatron immediately and place an order for
safety covers, if this has not already been done. Added safety covers will be provided at additional cost to
the user.
If your Exatron handler is equipped with safety covers, never operate the handler without them. Never
remove the safety covers. Never defeat any electrical interlock switch supplied with the handler.
High Internal Voltages:
In most cases, there are no high voltages used inside the Model 3000B handler
electronics -- with the exception of the Model 3010B Hot Rail.
High voltage from the building line current is present in the Exatron remote 3000B power supply. Only
qualified service technicians should do any repair work on the power supply. Make sure to use qualified
service technicians when attempting to repair any portion of the handler that uses high electrical voltages.
