Ground Continuity Resistance Measurement
NOTE
It is recommended to perform the adjustment of the Ground Continuity Offset before measuring
the Ground Continuity Resistance.
To measure the Ground Continuity Resistance follows the next steps:
a.
Turn Off the HT-S unit.
b.
Turn the
Ground Check
switch on the rear panel to the ON position.
c.
Connect the EUT fixture to the Return and Ground Continuity Measurement point of the HT-S unit.
d.
Turn On the HT-S unit.
e.
Press and hold for 1 second the
Ground Offset
button, located on the rear panel. The front display
will show for a few seconds the Ground Continuity resistance of the EUT fixture connected on step 3.
f.
Only if the Ground Continuity resistance measurement is more than 1.50
Ω
, the display will show
“OPEn”.
Operation Techniques
The following paragraphs describe how to operate the HT-S tester. Before proceeding with
testing, the HT-S tester should be set up for production line testing. See Section above before continuing.
CAUTION:
High voltage is generated by the HT-S. Although the chassis of the equipment under test is
grounded by the HT-S, a risk of shock exists. Exercise care when using the HT-S.
Testing
This section describes how the HT-S tester 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-S". 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.
