SwitchSmart
Automates Electrical Safety Testing Between Multiple
Test Points or Multiple Products Simultaneously
Clare has developed a versatile modular switch scanning matrix which can be used to connect high
voltage or high current electrical safety tests to multiple test points or products.
Applications include multiple point or multiple product testing with products such as transformers,
motors or electrical system devices which require testing for earth/ground bonding or high voltage
hipot/flash dielectric withstand test
Each switch port is capable of handling high voltage or high currents, which makes the module
extremely flexible.
It has been designed to interface directly to the Elite family of products or for independent use within
larger system integration/automation projects.
Because it is a modular design, the effective number of points it can be connected to is virtually
unlimited, as the module can be controlled either by RS-232 serial interface or by a digital control port.
Housed in a stylish 4U 19-inch case, this module features a high contrast LCD display which indicates
the real-time status of each switch port.
