Initial Checkout Procedure 

 

The following procedure will verify that the HT-3000P-1A-AC is working correctly. We 

recommend that this procedure be conducted periodically to ensure proper operation of the tester.   
 

CAUTION 

High  voltage  (up  to  3000  Volts  AC)  generated  by  the  HT-3000P-1A-AC  is 
exposed during this test.  A risk of shock exists.  Exercise care when using the 
HT-3000P-1A-AC. 
 

Performance Test 

 

1. 

Connect the tester to a proper source of supply. Turn the HT-3000P-1A-AC on. 

2. 

Disconnect all test leads and set the variac at minimum voltage. 

3. 

Push  the  red  RESET  button.  Verify  the  yellow  TEST  indicator  is  lit  and  then  push  the 
TEST button. 

4. 

The  tester  should  conduct  a  test  sequence.  At  test  termination,  the  Full  Voltage  and  Red 
RESET LED’s should be lit, Push the RESET button. 

5. 

Connect  the  RETURN  lead  and  the  HIGH  VOLTAGE  TEST  lead  to  the  HT-3000P-1A-
AC. Set duration to more than 15 seconds. 

6. 

Press  and  hold  the  RESET  button,  until  the  leakage setting appears  on the display, verify 
the correct leakage current setting. 

7. 

Connect  the  RETURN  lead  to  the  HIGH  VOLTAGE  TEST  lead  (make  a  short  circuit), 
Keep clear of the wire while the test is in progress

8. 

Push the red RESET button and then push the yellow TEST button. 

9. 

Increase the current using the voltage variac knob until it reaches the leakage set point. 

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

the Excess Leakage and red RESET LED’s should be lit. 

11.  Set duration to the desired test time. 

 

 

 

 
 

Passage  of  these  tests  indicates  that  the  HT-3000P-1A-AC  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-3000P-1A-AC  from  service  and  contact  Compliance  West 
USA, Inc. for servicing information. 
 

Setting up the HT-3000P-1A-AC  

 

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

voltage level, and high voltage test time. The HT-3000P-1A-AC 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.
