    PerfOrMIngAteSt teSt cOnnectIOnS (8204/8254) the adapter box is an easy way to connect a Device Under test (DUt) that terminates in either a two or three-prong line cord. the following diagram shows how to connect the adapter box to the instrument and the DUt (see Figure 4). if you are testing a Class i product, you may elect to perform a Ground Bond test on the ground circuit of the DUt along with the hipot test.
  • Page 10 PerfOrMIngAteSt teSt cOnnectIOnS (8206/8256 & 8207/8257) Using the DUt output ports on the back panel, plug the line lead from the adapter box into the l terminal and the neutral lead into the N terminal. Next attach the red ground lead from the adapter box to the GND terminal. Attach the black case return lead into the case terminal.
  • Page 11 PerfOrMIngAteSt teSt cOnnectIOnS there is no ground circuit on the DUt of a Class ii product. therefore, test leads may be utilized to connect the OMNiA ii to a DUt. (see Figure 6) Plug the black return lead into the Return terminal and black kelvin lead into the sense (-) lead.
