Maintenance and Calibration 

 
 

WARNING 

THESE  SERVICE  INSTRUCTIONS  ARE  FOR  USE  BY  QUALIFIED  PERSONNEL 
ONLY.  TO  AVOID  ELECTRIC  SHOCK,  DO  NOT  PERFORM  ANY  SERVICING 
OTHER  THAN  THAT  CONTAINED  IN  THE  OPERATING  INSTRUCTIONS  UNLESS 
YOU ARE QUALIFIED TO DO SO. 
 

Introduction 

 

This section of the manual contains maintenance information for the HT-3000P-1A-AC 

Dielectric  Withstand  Tester.  This  maintenance  information  is  divided  into  service  information, 
general  maintenance,  a  performance  test,  and  a  calibration  procedure.  The  performance  test  is 
recommended  as  an  acceptance  test  when  the  instrument  is  first  received,  and  later  as  a 
preventative maintenance tool to verify proper instrument operation. A 1-year calibration cycle is 
recommended to maintain the specifications given in Section 1. The test equipment required for 
the calibration procedure is a DMM able to read true rms 0-3000 Vac 

±

 1% and a 3kohm 3600 w 

1% resistor. 
 

Service Information 

 

The HT-3000P-1A-AC is warranted to the original purchaser for a period of 1 year. This 

warranty does not cover problems due to misuse or neglect.  
 

Malfunctions  which  occur  within  the  limits  of  the  warranty  will  be  corrected  at  no 

charge.  Mail the instrument post paid to the manufacturer. Dated proof of purchase is required 
for all in-warranty repairs.   
 

The  manufacturer  is  also  available  for  calibration  and/or  repair  of  instruments  that  are 

beyond their warranty period. Contact the manufacturer for a cost quotation. Ship the instrument 
and your remittance according to the instructions given by the manufacturer. 
 

General Maintenance 

 

WARNING 

Dangerous  voltages  exist  when  energized.    Exercise  extreme  care  when  working  on  an 
energized circuit.
 
 

Cleaning 

 

CAUTION 

Do  not  use  aromatic  hydrocarbons  or  chlorinated  solvents  for  cleaning.    These  solutions 
will react with the plastic materials used in the instrument.
