Maynard, MA - QuadTech, Inc., a leading electronic test equipment manufacturer in the passive component and electrical safety testing marketplace, proudly introduces the new Guardian 6100 Plus Production Safety Analyzer. Six instruments in one, the 6100 Plus provides AC Hipot, DC Hipot, an Insulation Resistance Tester (IR Tester), Ground Bond, Leakage Current/Functional Run and Open/Short measurements for precision equipment electrical leakage testing from a single test connection.

The 6100 Plus joins the 6000 Plus as the industry's first safety analyzers with revolutionary Twin-Port™ technology for simultaneous ground bond and hipot testing. It is possible to achieve dramatic time savings and increase product throughput by performing Ground Bond and Hipot at the same time. Fully automate the production line with CaptivATE Software and create a global database to archive data and print test reports on demand. Filter and plot test data to analyze historical trends. Achieve paperless testing and create electronic signatures for compliance with Regulatory Agencies.

With 20A input current capability, the G6100 Plus performs Functional Run Tests while monitoring the Voltage, Current or Power (VA). Ground Bond Testing to 40A is possible with an optional transformer. In addition, the G6100 Plus performs Earth, Enclosure, Patient and Patient Auxiliary Leakage Current measurements using 1 of 5 human body impedance models. Tests performed under normal conditions, reverse power line or fault conditions, open ground and open neutral are implemented automatically by the 6100 Plus, without operator intervention.

Some of the outstanding features which make the Guardian 6100 Plus ideal for Production & Compliance Testing:

• AC/DC Hipot to 5kV/6kV, respectively
• Insulation Resistance Tester (or IR Tester) to 1000VDC and 50GΩ
• Ground Bond to 30A (40A with optional transformer)
• Functional Run & Leakage Current Tests
• Built-in 20A Hipot/Line Leakage Scanner for high grade equipment Electrical Leakage Testing
• Open/Short Circuit Detection to ensure DUT is connected
• Programmable Trip Current; Ramp & Test Times
• Storage & Recall of 100 Setups, 50 Steps each
• RS-232 and Remote I/O Interfaces, Standard

Test sequences can be programmed to "Pause", "Continue on Fail" or "Fail Retest". The programmable "Fail Lock" feature provides the capability to stop the instrument on a FAIL and mandate a Production Supervisor password be entered. The 6100 Plus also offers password protected "Key Lock" to prevent an operator from inadvertently altering test conditions. Test results of each test step are clearly indicated on the large front panel LCD display and an overall Pass/Fail indication is provided based on programmed limits.

Part of the Guardian line, the G6100 Plus includes many safety features for protection of the operator, device under test and the instrument. In addition to front panel lockout, the G6100 Plus provides fast HV cutoff (<0.5ms), fast DUT discharge (0.2s) and adjustable DUT discharge from 0.05-5.1kV.

To support a variety of measurement applications, QuadTech also offers a large selection of accessories for the 6100 Plus, including test leads, adapters for connecting to 115V/220V corded products, printer interface, line isolation transformers and automation software. High Voltage/High Current external scanners are also available for use with the G6100 Plus increasing the number of test channels for multi-point or multi-device testing.

Available by mid-November 2005, the Guardian 6100 Plus includes test leads, power entry adapter, corded product adapter for connecting to 115V products and a NIST traceable calibration certificate. The Guardian 6100 Plus is TUV & UL approved and carries the CE Mark for wider acceptance in the global marketplace.
