Initial Checkout Procedure
Use this procedure to verify that the HT-10KVDC is working correctly. This procedure should
be conducted daily. Refer to Figures 3-1 and 3-2 for location of items.
CAUTION
High voltage. Risk of shock. Use care.
1. Turn the tester on using the rear panel switch; item 19.
2. Set the Voltage Ramp, Test Timer, and Failure Shutdown switches to ON; Items 12-13, and
21.
3. Disconnect leads from the Output and Return jacks; items 8 and 9.
4. Push the red RESET button; item 1. The blue TEST button will light; item 2.
5. Push the blue TEST button.
6. The tester will conduct a test sequence. The meter will show the output voltage, hold, and
return to zero. During the test, the voltage can be adjusted using the Voltage knob; item 10.
At the end of the test, the Full Voltage, Hipot pass, and red RESET lamps should be lit.
7. Connect the red lead to the Output jack; item 9, and the black lead to the Return jack, item 8.
8. Connect the two leads together. Push the RESET button and then push the TEST button.
9. At test termination, the Excess Leakage and/or Hipot Fail lamps; items 3 and 5, and red
RESET lamps should be lit.
10. Disconnect the black lead from the red lead, and remove both leads from the HT-10KVDC.
11. Enable the voltage output by pressing the RESET button, then the TEST button. After the
full voltage LED lights, adjust the Voltage knob; item 10, so the output is approx. 500 volts.
Press the RESET button to stop the test.
12. Plug the red lead into the Output jack.
13. (This test simulates a dielectric breakdown. There is high voltage on the Red lead. Exercise
caution to avoid shock.) Push the red RESET button, then the blue TEST button. After the
full voltage LED lights, VERY CAREFULLY pick up the lead by its insulation and touch it
to the Return jack. The test will immediately terminate with a buzzer. The Full Voltage,
Hipot Fail and/or Excess Leakage, and red RESET lamps should be lit.
If any of these tests give unexpected results, service may be required. Please contact our
Service hotline for assistance.
