Excess Leakage Performance Test 

 

1.

 

Disconnect all leads of the HT-S front panel. 

 

2.

 

Turn the 

Ground Check

 switch on the rear panel to the Off position. 

 

3.

 

Plug  the  supplied  18  AWG  GL  Test  Lead  (Alligator  Clip/Banana  Plug  ends,  black)  into  the 

RETURN

  receptacle  on  the  front  panel,  then,  clamp  with  the  green  alligator  clip  the  piece  of 

none insulated jumper wire.  

 

4.

 

Connect one end of the hookup wire to the clip of the black lead and insert the other end into one 

of  the  vertical  parallel  slots  in  the 

DEVICE

  receptacle  on  the  front  panel.   

Keep  clear  of  the 

wire while the test is in progress

 

5.

 

Push the red 

RESET

 button and then push the yellow 

TEST

 button. 

 

6. The  tester  should  conduct  a  test  sequence,  terminated  with  a  buzzer.    At  test  termination,  the 

Ground OK

Ground Open

Excess Leakage

, and red

 LED’s should be lit. 

 

Hipot Breakdown Performance Test 

 
Note:  The following procedure tests the "Hipot Breakdown" circuit of the HT-S unit 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 AC or 2800 volts DC or up to 3000 Volts 
AC and 4200 Volts DC for HT-4200S.  Proceed with caution. 
 

1.

 

Disconnect all leads of the HT-S front panel. 

 

2.

 

Turn the 

Ground Check

 switch on the rear panel to the Off position. 

 

3.

 

Plug  the  supplied  18  AWG  GL  Test  Lead  (Alligator 

Clip/Banana  Plug  ends,  black)  into  the 

RETURN

 

receptacle  on  the  front  panel,  then  connect  a  bent 
paper clip  (not provided)  to  the  green  alligator  clip 
on the end of the test lead.  

 

4.

 

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 end of 

the  paper  clip  into  one  of  the  vertical  parallel  slots 
in  the  High  Voltage  Device  receptacle  on  the  front 
panel.    Keep  fingers  away  from  the  alligator  clip 
and the bare wire. 

 

5. 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-S  tester  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-S tester from service and contact Compliance West USA, Inc. for servicing information.
