Note:  The following procedure tests the "Hipot Breakdown" circuit of the HT-
2000P and involves high voltage.  The only exposed parts during this test are at 
ground potential.  However, the voltage inside the High Voltage Device socket 
may be as much as 2000 volts.  Proceed with caution. 

 
21.  Make sure the black lead is still plugged into the

 RETURN

 jack on the front panel. 

22.  Make sure the 

Ground Check

 switch on the rear panel is in the Off position. 

23.  Remove the hookup wire from the 

DEVICE

 receptacle, but leave it connected to the clip of 

the black lead.  Carefully hold the black lead by its insulated alligator clip boot. 

24.  Push the red 

RESET

 button, then the yellow 

TEST

 button.  After the 

Full Voltage

 LED 

lights, and before the 

Hipot Pass

 LED has lit, insert the other end of the hookup wire into 

one of the vertical parallel slots in the High Voltage Device receptacle on the front panel. 

25.  The test should immediately terminate with a buzzer.  The 

Ground OK

Ground Open

Full Voltage

Hipot Fail

 and red 

RESET

 LED’s should be lit. 

 

Note:  Depending on how the connection between the High Voltage Test Receptacle and the 
hookup wire is made, the 

Excess Leakage

 LED may light, and in some instances, the 

Ground OK 

LED may extinguish. 

 
 

Passage of these tests indicates that the HT-2000P is functioning properly and that it is 

safe to use.  If the results of the performance test are not in accordance with the above, service is 
required.  Remove the HT-2000P from service and contact Compliance West USA, Inc. for 
servicing information. 
 

Setting up the HT-2000P for Production Line Testing 

 

This section describes procedures for setting the Pass/Fail leakage current level, high 

voltage ramp time, high voltage level, and high voltage test time.  The HT-2000P is calibrated as 
shown below at the factory to be usable without adjustment in the majority of applications.  If the 
factory settings are acceptable, you may skip this section.   
 

Factory Settings 

 
The unit is configured as shown when shipped from Compliance West USA: 
 

Leakage Current Level:  

5 mA 

High Voltage Ramp Time: 

1 second 

High Voltage Level: 

 

1200 volts 

High Voltage Test Time: 

2 seconds 

 
Adjustment of the various settings are shown below. 
 

CAUTION 

High voltage is generated by the HT-2000P.  Although the chassis of the 
equipment under test is grounded by the HT-2000P, a risk of shock exists.  
Exercise care when using the HT-2000P. 

 

 

NOTE 

These adjustment procedures set the use parameters of the HT-2000P.  They do not 
take the place of the annual calibration required by the safety agencies.
