The Associated Research HS-8A Matrix Scanner is a high-voltage and high-current switching accessory designed to enhance the automated testing capabilities of compatible electrical safety compliance analyzers, such as the HypotULTRA II and QUADCHECK II. This unit facilitates multi-point or multi-product testing by efficiently routing high voltage and ground bond test signals to multiple test points. Its design aims to increase safety and throughput in production and laboratory environments by automating the selection of test points, thereby reducing manual intervention and potential for operator error.
### Technical Specifications
* **High Voltage Switching Outputs:**
* Rated for up to 5kVAC and 6kVDC.
* Supports testing to a wide range of safety agency specifications.
* **High Current Outputs (Ground Bond):**
* Rated for up to 30 Amperes.
* Enables the integration of Ground Bond tests into automated test sequences.
* **Number of Outputs:**
* 8 individual high voltage outputs.
* 8 individual high current (Ground Bond) outputs.
* **Power Source:**
* Does not require its own power source.
* Powered by the controlling instrument (e.g., HypotULTRA II, QUADCHECK II) through an interconnect control cable.
* **Control and Configuration:**
* Outputs can be individually selected (High, Low, or Off) through the controlling instrument’s setup program.
* Allows for sequential or simultaneous activation of outputs.
* Front panel indicators provide visual feedback on active outputs and their configuration (High/Low).
* Color-coded LED displays indicate which output is activated and its setup.
### Interfaces and Compatibility
* **Compatibility:**
* Designed to interconnect directly with Associated Research HypotULTRA II and QUADCHECK II models.
* Can be used in conjunction with other Associated Research safety testers to form a complete automated testing system.
* **Interconnection:**
* Utilizes a 25-pin control cable for communication with the host instrument.
* High voltage and return connections are routed through the scanner from the host instrument.
* For QUADCHECK II, a separate high current input connector is used.
* **Control:**
* Can be controlled locally via the host instrument’s setup program or remotely through GPIB or RS-232 interfaces when used with compatible controlling instruments like the HypotULTRA II or QUADCHECK II.
### Physical Characteristics
* **Enclosure:**
* Standard 19-inch rack-mount style enclosure.
* **Dimensions:**
* 17 inches (Width) x 5.8 inches (Height) x 13 inches (Depth).
* (432 mm x 147 mm x 330 mm).
* **Weight:**
* Approximately 10.12 lbs. (Some sources indicate 15 lbs 4 oz).
### Application and Usage
* **Automated Testing:**
* Ideal for applications requiring multi-point testing of the same item or multi-product testing in high-volume manufacturing.
* Enhances efficiency by reducing manual test lead connections and setup time.
* **Test Types:**
* Facilitates high voltage Hipot (AC/DC Withstand Voltage) and Ground Bond testing.
* Can be configured for continuity tests when used with compatible instruments.
* **System Integration:**
* A key component for building automated electrical safety test systems, particularly when integrated with Associated Research’s HypotULTRA II or QUADCHECK II analyzers.
