964i High Voltage Automated Test Switching System — The perfect solution for Automated Multi-Conductor, Multi-Point Hipot Testing
Pair one or more 964i’s with one of Vitrek’s industry leading hipot testers to improve test throughput and accuracy on complex cables, power flex circuits, appliances, medical equipment and more. Capable of automating up to 999 sequential high-voltage tests at .025 seconds a reconnect, the 964i provides multi-fold savings in time, money and operator efficiency compared to manual tests.
Add the Vitrek QT Insite software to remotely program and record test sequences, display operator instructions, trigger tests with a bar code scan and enable the operator to track the testing of one or more devices simultaneously in real time.

The 964i High Voltage Switching System is built precisely to meet Your HV Switching requirements
The 964i holds up to 8, eight channel HV switching cards. That’s up to 64 test points in a single mainframe – multiple units can be combined to increase capacity
Whether you have to hipot an 8 pin connector, a 64 conductor cable or an entire tray of SMD capacitors – the 964i has the capacity to automatically route test points to your tester, so you don’t have to. The 964i is easily configured to handle your test specifications. First, select from 4 different voltage ratings – 3KV, 7KV, 10KV and 15KV. Next, decide on how many cards you need. And finally – choose the input, either + (HV bus) or – (return bus) for each card. It’s that simple. If you have any questions, contact a Vitrek application specialists for assistance in configuring your ideal switching solution.
High Voltage Switching doesn’t get any easier
The 964i is simple to set up. Standard front inputs connect directly to your Hipot/Continuity Tester and up to 60 rear panel terminals connect with your test fixture or DUT. Up to four 964i’s can be controlled directly by a single Vitrek 95X or V7X Series Hipot Tester or up to 10 via PC through the 964i’s built-in RS232 (serial) port or available GPIB interface. The 964i’s LCD display confirms system status and switch activation at a glance.
Try the 964i High Voltage Switching Scanner, you will never manually switch again
The Vitrek 964i High Voltage Automated Test Switching System routes high voltage test signals and return signals to any desired test points. This unique capability gives you control over each individual relay, unlike typical cable testers which restrict you to a fixed pattern. With available mux cards, you can also access the matrix with other equipment such an LCR meter or DMM. The result is a highly repeatable, rapid switching test system with no operator intervention and fully automated data acquisition. With voltage switching capability up to 15,000 volts or current switching as high as 40 amps – the 964i can handle just about any test requirement that comes along. Give it a try, you will never switch back to manual testing again.
“The 964i rear panel accommodates up to 60 output terminals. Unit shown above with 16 + terminals (HV) and 16 – terminals (return). The 964i ships with mating connectors for all +/- HV terminals 7KV and higher. Custom length HV lead sets are optionally available.”
