Initial Checkout Procedure
The following procedure will verify that the HT-PR is working correctly. We recommend that
this procedure be conducted periodically to ensure proper operation of the tester. (A Compliance
West HTT-1 function tester may also be used to verify the HT-PR is working correctly).
The following items are needed to conduct this procedure:
- A three inch piece of 18 AWG insulated hookup wire with each end stripped back ½".
- A extra test lead with a banana plug on one end. The other end will be clipped to the
alligator clip end of the black test lead supplied with the HT-PR.

CAUTION
High voltage (up to 2000 Volts AC and 2800 Volts DC) generated by the HT-PR is exposed
during this test. A risk of shock exists. Exercise care when using the HT-PR.
Performance Test Using the HTT-1 Function checker (Recommended)
This section describes how the HT-PR is used to conduct a hipot test. Before continuing, we
recommend that you read Section 1, "An Introduction to Dielectric Withstand Testing with the
HT-PR". It contains valuable safety, operation, and test result evaluation information which can
help you conduct the test safely and correctly. The test can be stopped immediately at any time
by pressing the red
RESET button on the front panel.
Test Verification procedure when using the HTT-1 function checker:
1.
Connect the HT-PR to a correctly rated source of supply and turn the power switch to the
ON position. Push the
RESET button. The yellow TEST indicator should light,
indicating that the HT-PR is ready to test.
2.
Connect the HTT-1 to the HT-PR tester using the cables supplied with the HTT-1.
3.
With the HTT-1 manual set the correct settings for leakage and ground continuity
PASS/FAIL points for the HT-PR.
