It is essential that the following safety insulation test be
performed prior to returning the Power Sub-Woofer to the
customer, using one of the following methods.
A) Insulation Resistance Test
With a 500VDC Insulation Tester, Check
insulation from the outer metal contact of the
RCA jack (chassis) to the line neutral of AC
cord. Resistance should be >100M&.
B) Hi-Pot Test
If a UL approved Hi-Pot tester is available, test
line & neutral of AC cord to outer shell of RCA
jack (chassis) at 1100VAC for 2 seconds.
Observe all of instrument manufacturer's
instructions and safety warnings in performing
this test.
