The manual for the B&K Precision Model TR-110 ISOPACK covers its use as an isolation transformer and variable voltage source, providing detailed instructions for setup, operation, and voltage selection to safely service AC-powered equipment. It also includes troubleshooting steps, such as checking the fuse for issues with the isolated outlets, and specifies the power ratings and connection details for both direct and isolated outputs.
Manual Overview
The B&K Precision TR-110 ISOPACK is a direct/isolation transformer designed to safely service transformerless AC-powered equipment by providing isolation from the power line. It features dual outlets for both isolated and direct outputs, with the isolated outlets offering variable voltage from 90 to 140 volts in nine steps. This variability is achieved through a matrix of two 3-position switches. The ISOPACK can handle up to 350 VA continuously and 500 VA intermittently, with a built-in 3A slow-blow fuse protecting against overloads on the isolated outlets. If the pilot lamp fails to illuminate, the fuse should be checked and replaced if necessary. For calibration, a precision multimeter is recommended to measure the AC voltage at the isolated output. The direct outlets provide a constant line voltage for auxiliary equipment. For maintenance, ensure the unit is not overloaded, and check building circuits if both outlet types fail. The ISOPACK’s design includes a pilot lamp and power switch for the isolated outlets, while the direct outlets remain live when connected to a power source.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnose power-up failures with pilot lamp and fuse checks.
- Adjust output voltage using 3-position slide switches for diagnostics.
- Trace circuit issues using detailed schematic diagram in Fig. 3.
Overview
The B & K-PRECISION Model TR-110 ISOPACK is a direct/isolation transformer designed for servicing “hot chassis” AC-powered equipment. It provides safety by allowing the chassis to be grounded, reducing the risk of electrical shock and equipment damage. The ISOPACK also functions as a variable voltage source, offering AC output in nine steps from 90 to 140 volts, which is useful for testing voltage-sensitive conditions in various electronic devices. It features dual outlets for both isolated and direct outputs, a power switch with a pilot lamp, and a power rating of 350 VA continuous and up to 500 VA intermittent. The manual covers its use as an isolation transformer, a variable voltage transformer, maintenance, specifications, and parts ordering information.

Controls & Indicators
The front-panel controls/indicators of the B & K-PRECISION Model TR-110 ISOPACK include an on-off power switch with a pilot lamp for the isolated output, and two 3-position slide switches for voltage selection.
Installation / Setup
The installation and setup highlights for the B & K-PRECISION Model TR-110 ISOPACK include the following key points:
1. Connect the ISOPACK to a 120 volt, 60 Hz outlet with the power switch off. The power switch controls the isolated outlets only, while the direct outlets remain active when plugged in.
2. Connect the equipment to be serviced to one of the isolated outlets.
3. Select the desired output voltage using the voltage select switches.
4. The chassis of the equipment can be grounded by connecting a test lead to the ISOPACK case or the ground pin of an outlet.
5. Turn on the power switch, which will light the pilot lamp and power the equipment.
6. Auxiliary equipment can be connected to the direct outlets, which provide line voltage unaffected by the voltage select switches or power switch.
7. Ensure the total load on the isolated outlets does not exceed 350 VA continuous or 500 VA intermittent, and avoid using the ISOPACK in confined areas to prevent heat build-up.
The ISOPACK should not be used in confined spaces to avoid heat accumulation. The direct outlets can handle up to 500 VA continuously or intermittently, and both outputs can operate simultaneously at full capacity.
Operation
The B & K-PRECISION Model TR-110 ISOPACK Direct/Isolation Transformer is used to safely service “hot chassis” AC-powered equipment by providing isolation from earth ground. It can also operate as a variable voltage source, offering AC output in nine steps from 90 to 140 volts. The ISOPACK has dual outlets for both isolated and direct outputs, with an on-off switch and pilot lamp for the isolated output. The isolated outlets have a power rating of 350 VA continuous and up to 500 VA intermittent. For basic usage as an isolation transformer, connect the ISOPACK to a power outlet, plug the equipment into the isolated outlets, select the desired voltage, and turn on the power. For variable voltage usage, follow similar steps and adjust the voltage using the voltage select switches. The total load on the isolated outlets should not exceed 350 VA continuous, and the direct outlets should not exceed 500 VA.

Safety & Warnings
The manual provides the following safety warnings and precautions:
1. An isolation transformer is essential for servicing any “hot chassis” (transformerless) AC-powered equipment to prevent dangerous electrical shock hazards and potential damage to AC-powered test equipment.
2. The ISOPACK should not be used in a confined area to prevent heat build-up.
3. The total load on the ISOLATED outlets should not exceed 350 VA continuous, and a load up to 500 VA may be powered for 5 minutes maximum if followed by an off period of 5 minutes or longer for cooling.
4. The total load of the DIRECT outlets should not exceed 500 VA, continuous or intermittent.
5. Both the DIRECT and ISOLATED outputs can be operated simultaneously at up to full rated load capacity.
6. A 3A fuse protects the unit from excessive overload on the ISOLATED outlets, and it should be replaced only with a 3A, slow-blow type 3AG fuse.
7. If there is no output from either the ISOLATED or DIRECT outlets, check the fuse or circuit breaker panel of the building for the outlet being used to power the ISOPACK and correct any overload condition.
