Factory Settings
The unit is configured as shown when shipped from Compliance West USA:
Leakage Current Level: 50 mA
High Voltage Level: 0 volts
High Voltage Test Time: 1 seconds
Adjustments of the various settings are shown below.
NOTE
These adjustment procedures set the use parameters of the HT-3000P-1A-AC.
They do not take the place of the annual calibration required by the safety
agencies.
Display of Leakage Limit and Duration settings
To view the Test Duration and Leakage Limit current settings, hold down the RESET
button for 2 seconds. The meter will display “L” with the Leakage Limit value in mA. Hold
down the RESET button again for 2 seconds and the meter will display “d” with the Test
Duration set time in seconds.
Adjustment of the Leakage Current Level
AC Leakage Current can be set to levels of up to 1000 mA. To set the leakage limit follow
the steps below.
1. Connect the HT-3000P-1A-AC to a correctly rated source of supply and turn the power
switch to the I or ON position. Push the RESET button. The yellow TEST indicator should
light, indicating that the HT-3000P-1A-AC is ready to test.
2. Turn the Leakage Limit potentiometer. As soon as the potentiometer starts turning, the
meter will start blinking, display “L”, and the value can be set in 0.01 A increments from
0.03 to 1.00 A.
Adjustment of the High Voltage Level
This procedure controls the high voltage level used in the dielectric withstand test. It is
specified by safety agency personnel. Most safety agencies will allow a shorter test (usually 1
sec. vs. 1 min.) if the voltage is increased by 20%.
1.
The voltage will always start at minimum, and user will need to increase the voltage
manually to the desired test voltage every time a test starts.
2. At the end of the test the variac needs to be turn to the minimum voltage to be ready to start
the next test.
