NAME 

FUNCTION 

Appliance  Inlet  /  Fuse  holder    / 
Power Switch  

Use supplied cord set to connect tester to appropriate source of supply.  Replace line fuse.  Turn Tester ON/OFF. 
Power switch must be accessible during operation 

Fuse  replacement  warning  /  Rating 
of supply 

Specifies replacement fuse and required supply voltage. 

Testlink OUTPUT Receptacle 

The Output Testlink Cableset lead is connected here. The cableset is included when you get Testlink option. 

Testlink RETURN Receptacle 

The Return Testlink Cableset lead is connected here. The cableset is included when you get Testlink option. 

Testlink 

Allows connection with GF-30AC-T for Ground Bond Test. A cableset is included when you get this option. 

Interlock 

This is a safety feature, when in short-circuited the HT works regular, when open stops immediately its function. 

Relay Interface 

Relay Interface/PLC Interface. Test signals through relay contacts/coils (Optional).  

Ground Check Switch 

Enables or disables the Ground Continuity test. 
Turn ON for use with three-wire (grounded) power supply cords. 
Turn OFF for use with two-wire power supply cords. 
(When  ON,  conducts  Ground  Continuity  test  between  the  chassis  and  the  grounding  pin  of  the  line  cord  of  the 

equipment being tested.  When OFF, Ground Continuity test is bypassed for testing of double-insulated equipment 
and other types of equipment without a grounding pin in the line cord.) 

Ground Resistance Setting 
Adjustment 

Used to adjust the Ground Continuity pass/fail point setting. See “Ground Continuity” on the Adjustment section for 

more information 

10 

Ground Offset Button 

This  button  can perform  two  different  functions. Pressing  and holding  it  for 1  second,  the  HT-S  will  measure  and 

display on the front display the Ground Continuity resistance of the EUT under test. Pressing and holding the button 
for 5 seconds will compensate the resistance of the test cables of fixture, see “Ground Continuity Offset Adjustment” 
and “Ground Continuity Resistance Measurement” sections for more details. 

11 

Leakage Limit Adjustment 

Used  to  adjust  the  trip  level  for  the  excessive  leakage  current  test.    See  "Leakage  Current  Level"  on  Adjustment 

section for more information. 

12 

Test Time Adjustment 

Used  to  adjust  high  voltage  test  duration.    See  "Adjustment  of  the  High  Voltage  Test  Duration"  section  for  this 

procedure. 

13 

Ramp Time Adjustment 

Used to adjust the amount of time used to increase the high voltage from zero volts to the required level.  See "High 

Voltage Ramp Time" on Adjustment section for correct procedure. 

14 

Directions 

Provides directions for tester operation to test personnel. 

15 

Voltage Adjust 

Used to adjust the High Voltage output.  See "High Voltage Level" on the Adjustment section for correct procedure. 

16 

Calibration resistor 

This resistor (optional) may be used to verify the leakage current.
