FUNCTION

 

RESET Button /  
Red Indicator Lamp 

When lit, indicates that the HT-10KVDC is unarmed.  This button must be pushed before the TEST 
Button is functional. When the RESET Button is pressed, the red lamp goes out and the blue TEST 
lamp is lit.  

PRESSING THE RESET BUTTON AT ANY TIME STOPS THE TEST.

   Replace 

lamp with type 73 T1¾ 14V lamp. 

TEST Button /  
Blue Indicator Lamp 

When  lit,  indicates  that  the  HT-10KVDC  is  ready  to  test.  The  blue  lamp  goes  out  when  the  TEST 
Button is pressed.  Replace lamp with type 73 T1¾ 14V lamp.  

Excess Leakage LED 

Indicates failure of leakage current test.  If leakage current is too high, the red LED will light and the 
internal  buzzer  will  sound.    The  test  may  be  terminated,  depending  on  the  setting  of  the  Failure 
Shutdown Switch.   

Full Voltage LED 

The  full  voltage  LED  will  light  and  if  not  defeated,  the  high  voltage  duration  time  starts  when  the 
voltage output reaches the preset level. 

Hipot Fail LED 

Indicates failure of high voltage test.  If arcing or a flashover of the insulation system is detected, the 
red breakdown LED will light, the internal buzzer will sound.  The test may be terminated depending 
on the setting of the Failure Shutdown Switch.   

Hipot Pass LED 

At the preset test duration time, if no insulation breakdowns are encountered, the green light will light 
and the test will terminate.  If the Test Timer Switch is defeated, testing continues only while the Test 
Button is pressed (minimum test time one second). 

Voltage Meter 

Visual indication of the actual output voltage.  

Return Lead Jack 

Grounded banana plug jack.  For Return Lead connection. 

High Voltage Output Jack 

Red High Voltage jack.  For connection of high voltage test lead. 

10 

Voltage Adjust Knob 

Voltage is continuously adjustable during test.
