with a buzzer.  The Full Voltage, Hipot Fail and/or Excess Leakage, and red RESET lamps 
should be lit. 

 

 

With the exception of lamp replacement of the TEST and RESET buttons with type 73 14 volt 
lamps,  if  the  results  of  the  performance  test  are  not  in  accordance  with  the  above,  service  is 
required.    Remove  the  Tester  from  service  and  contact  the  manufacturer  for  servicing 
information. 

 

Calibration Procedure 

 
The Calibration Procedure should be used any time your instrument has been repaired or fails to 
pass the performance test.  The calibration procedure consists of the following: 
 

 

The  Voltage  Calibration  adjustment  calibrates  the  voltage  output  to  agree  with  the  meter 
reading. 

 
Before starting the Calibration procedure, perform the Calibration access procedure given earlier 
in this Section.   
 

NOTE 

Allow  the  instrument  to  stabilize  for  approximately  five  minutes.    Perform  all  calibration 
adjustments at an ambient temperature of 23

°

±

5

°

C (73

°

±

F).

 

 

WARNING 

CALIBRATION ADJUSTMENTS ARE PERFORMED ON ENERGIZED CIRCUITS.  

EXERCISE CAUTION AT ALL TIMES, AND USE A NON-CONDUCTIVE TOOL FOR 

ALL ADJUSTMENTS.

 

 

Meter Calibration Adjustment 

 
Use  the  following  procedure  to  calibrate  the  output  voltage.    Pot  R326  is  located  on  the  lower 
PWB, in the left front corner, and is used to adjust the meter reading.  
 
1. 

Ensure that all test leads are removed. 

2. 

Connect the DMM between the red high voltage jack and the black return jack.  Both jacks 
are located on the front panel. 

3. 

Push the RESET, then the TEST Button on the front panel.  Wait for the full voltage LED 
on the front panel to light.  Read the voltage on the DMM and compare it to the front panel 
meter.    Using  a  non-conductive  screwdriver,  adjust  R326  to  bring  both  meters  into 
agreement.  If necessary, the Test Time control on the rear panel may need to be increased 
to allow the test to continue for a sufficient time.
