With the main focus on ergonomics and reliability, SCHLEICH test covers are a solid, long-lasting investment in reducing the risk of the operator. The DUT is safely covered so that it cannot be touched.
The smooth-running cover made of break-proof, transparent plastic covers the DUT and allows visual monitoring during the test. Testing is only possible when the test cover is closed. The status of the test cover is continuously monitored by a two-circuit safety-limit switch in conjunction with a safety-analysis module, which is approved and compliant with standards. This two-circuit safety switch meets the requirements for automatic protection against accidential contact.
Closing the test cover starts the test process. Opening the test cover while the test is still in process will lead to immediate interruption. The voltage is released and the DUT is unloaded. It is possible to add a safety lock, which prevents that the cover is opened during the test.
The test covers can be used together with individual mechanical fixtures. The fixture can be firmly mounted on the base plate or it can come with an adapter. The test cover contains connections for contacting the test leads. Connection leads to the testers are, in general, firmly connected at the rear. The connection to the tester is realized with plug connectors.
With the optional lock the test cover remains closed:
until the DUT has been fully discharged
until a mechanical motion or rotation has been completed
in case of a negative test result (NO GO)
The complete isolation of the test area prevents voltages being exposed outside the enclosure. The operating personnel is optimally protected.
