Cirris CH+ Bedienungsanleitung

Setting Up the CH+ Tester 1

Use this guide to setup the CH+ tester, install the easy-wire software, checkout the system, get

the overview of the test system, and find more information to use the tester.

Note: Prior to June 1, 2001 the Signature CH+ shipped with the Signature Plus Series

software, which included a complete printed user's manual. The CH+ can now also be

controlled with the easy-wire software, which utilizes this getting started guide and an on-line

help system/manual (included on the easy-wire software CD). There is no printed user's

manual for the easy-wire software.

Computer Requirements for a Station or Network Server

If you plan on using a Networked Server:

Accessing test data from a network is a nice way to make sure that all the stations on the

production floor use the same test information. The requirements for a network server are the

same as a workstation with the exception that the server must use either 2000 or 2003

Windows Server software. The computer that runs the network database should be dedicated

to running the database software. The network database server should not be used as a

workstation.

You may want to add optional accessories

These accessories can be purchased through computer and office supply stores. Each

accessory is easy to integrate with your computer and CH+ test system.

Warning!

Possible electric shock! Please Note

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:

Setting Up the CH+ Tester 4

Assemble the CH+ System

1. Remove the Phillips-head screws that lock

the back cover plates on the base unit and

scanner boxes.

2. Pinch the latch tabs toward each other as

shown, and remove the back cover plates.

3. Stack the scanner box(es) on top of the base

unit.

Important: The base unit is not designed to support

the weight of more than 4 scanner boxes. For more

than 4 scanner boxes, we suggest you rack mount the

CH+ system. See Rack Mounting at the end of this

procedure.

Note: Each scanner box has two box-to-box cables

sitting inside the case.

4. Use box-to-box connectors to plug from the

base unit to the lower connectors of the first

scanner box.

5. If using more than one scanner box, connect

from the upper connectors of a lower box to

the lower connectors of an upper box.

6. Plug a power cord (notch side up) into each

box’s power connector.

7. Attach the back cover plates and screw in the

cover plate screws.

8. Set up the computer that will operate the

CH+.

CRT video monitors, florescent lights, and

equipment motors are electrically noisy devices

and should be kept at least 2 feet from the test

system (including the test fixturing and tested

device); otherwise measurement accuracy can

be compromised.

Note that LCD monitors (flat screens) do not emit

excessive noise and may be placed anywhere

convenient for the operator.

9. Connect one end of the 9-pin serial cable to

the port on the back of the base unit labeled

Serial Port to PC.

IF YOUR PC DOES NOT HAVE A SERIAL PORT…

Many new computers sold today do not include a

serial port as a default part of the standard

computer package.

Cirris Systems has recently qualified a USB port

to Serial port converter from Keyspan. You can

purchase this adapter direct from Cirris or from

many other sources commercially. If you choose

to purchase another make or model, we have

discovered that many other USB converters do

not work with our equipment. This adapter (out of

many that we have tried) has consistently

performed without any difficulties.

10. Connect the other end of the 9-pin serial

cable to a serial port on the back of your

computer.

11. If possible, plug each wall transformer into

the same grounded plug strip as the

computer that will operate the system.

For optimum measurement accuracy, the CH+ must

have a consistent earth ground to the entire system.

Make sure to use grounded (3-prong) outlet strips and

plug them into a single outlet.

Example:

Setting Up the CH+ Tester 7

If more than one outlet strip is needed for the system,

plug secondary outlet strips into a primary strip, and

then plug this strip into a grounded wall outlet.

You shouldn’t have to worry about overloading a single

outlet. Even a 5000 point CH system uses less than

500 watts of power.

If you are rack mounting the CH+ System, proceed to the following section. Otherwise skip to

Installing the easy-wire Software on page 9.

Rack Mount the CH+ System

For a CH+ system with more than 4 scanner boxes, you must rack mount the CH+ system.

If you remove the feet of your CH+ system, you will be

able to remove each box separately from the rack.

1. Pry up the plastic plunger in the center of

each foot; then you can remove the foot.

2. Install the rack mounting brackets on the front

of each box.

3. Mount the boxes on top of each other in the

rack with the base unit on the bottom.

Cirris does not provide the screws to attach brackets to

the rack.

Continue with step 3 in the main assembly procedure.

Installing the easy-wire Software 9

Install the easy-wire Software

Before starting the Installation

Review the following for the appropriate installation.

Are you going to set up a stand-alone station, or a shared network installation?

On a Stand Alone Station

If you install the test database on a local station drive, only that workstation will access its

test database. If you want to use the same test information on other stations, you’ll have to

set up the tests on each station, or use floppy disks to export and import test information

between stations. To install the software only on a stand-alone station or stations, you will

only do the section below entitled Installing the easy-wire Software.

On a shared network

This is a nice way to make sure that all the stations on the production floor use the same

test information. To setup a network you must have a computer that meets the network

server requirements as specified on page 2.

If choosing to install on a network, note that there are now two ways to do this. Typically

you will want to choose the network only install. This newer network installation method

allows you to install both the easy-wire software and the easy-wire database together on

the network. All easy-wire stations load the same copy of easy-wire software and the

database from the network. This method greatly simplifies installing and updating the

easy-wire software. For this install do the section entitled Installing the Software only on

the Windows Server. Continue with the section entitled Completing a Network Only Install.

An older method to install easy-wire on a network has been to setup a network database

server. With this method you install only the easy-wire database on the server. The easy-

wire software is installed locally on each easy-wire station. If you use this method, when

installing a new easy-wire version you will have to update the network database and each

local easy-wire station. This method does allow you use the unreliable network option

when it is needed. In the event that you want to setup a network database server, first do

the section below entitled Installing the Software on each work station. Continue with the

section Installing a Network Database Server, and then Attaching a Station to a Network. .

Have you previously installed the software to do the demo?

If you’ve previously installed the easy-wire software for demo purposes, the test database

is installed on a local hard drive. Reinstalling the software from the Install CD will ensure

that you have the latest version of the software. If you’ve installed the easy-wire software

on a station and now want to do a network only install, call Cirris Technical Support for

assistance.
