Adjustment of the High Voltage Ramp Time 

 
This procedure sets the high voltage ramp time between 0.5 and 5 sec.  The factory setting of one 
second is adequate for most situations.  Refer to Figures 3-1 and 3-2 for location of items. 
 
1. 

Make sure there are no test leads connected to the Tester. 

2. 

Push the RESET button; item 1.  The blue TEST light; item 2, should light, indicating that 
the Tester is ready to test.   

3. 

Push the TEST button; item 2.  

4. 

The  voltage  meter;  item  7,  will  show  the  output  voltage  and  hold.    Use  the  Ramp  Time 
control;  item  14,    to  change  the  ramp  time.    Turning  the  control  clockwise  will  increase 
ramp time, and turning it counterclockwise will decrease it. 

5. 

Push the TEST button; item 2, and RESET button; item 1, repeatedly, changing the Ramp 
Time; item 14, until the desired value is reached. 

6. 

You can pull the shaft out of the Ramp Time control if tamperproof settings are desired.  It 
can be reinserted.

 

 

Adjustment of the High Voltage Level 

 
This  procedure  controls  the  high  voltage  level  used  in  the  dielectric  withstand  test.    The  HT-
10KVDC is factory set for 0 volts DC.  Use the procedure below to set it.  
 
1. 

Turn  the  Test  Timer  switch;  item  12,  to  the  DEFEAT  position.    (The  HT-10KVDC  will 
supply voltage while the TEST button; item 2, is held in.) 

2. 

Make sure there are no test leads connected to the HT-10KVDC.   

3. 

Press the RESET button; item 1.  The blue TEST light; item 2, should light, indicating that 
the HT-10KVDC is ready to test. 

4. 

Push and hold the TEST button; item 2.  

5. 

While the TEST button is pressed, the voltage will ramp.  Adjust the high voltage control; 
item 10, until the desired voltage is reached.

 

 

Adjustment of the High Voltage Test Duration 

 

This  procedure  sets  the  amount  of  time  the  tester  will  conduct  the  high  voltage  test.    The  test 
duration of the HT-10KVDC is factory set for 2 seconds.  If a different test duration is required, 
use this procedure to set it.   
 
1. 

Make sure there are no test leads connected to the tester.  Set all three rear panel switches 
"ON".   

2. 

Push the RESET button; item 1.  The blue TEST light; item 2, should light, indicating that 
the Tester is ready to test. 

3. 

Push the TEST button; item 2.   

4. 

The Full Voltage LED; item 4, will light.  The test time is from when the Full Voltage LED 
lights to the end of the test.   

5. 

After the test is complete, adjust the Test Time control; item 15. 

6. 

Push  the  RESET  Button;  item  1,  then  the  TEST  Button;  item  2,  and  time  the  new  test 
duration.  Adjust the Test Time control until correct.
