Section 2 

Introduction and Specifications 

 

This  manual  contains  complete  operating,  maintenance  and  calibration  instructions  for 

the Compliance West USA Model HT-3000P Dielectric Withstand Tester.   
 

The  instrument  is  a  bench-type  Dielectric  Withstand  Tester  with  AC  or  DC  Output, 

designed for production line testing.   
 

The  HT-3000P  features  automatic  one  button  operation,  with  numerous  safety  features 

designed to protect the operator:   

The Return Lead is directly connected to ground potential for operator safety.   

In  case  of  trouble,  the  test  can  be  immediately  terminated  at  any  time  by  pressing  the 

RESET

 button.   

Before the test can commence, the unit must be armed by pressing the 

RESET

 Button.  The 

test will not begin until the 

TEST

 Button is pushed.   

If a failure is encountered, the high voltage is immediately shut down, a buzzer sounds, and 
any voltage stored in the equipment being tested is bled off by a resistor bank in the HT-
3000P.  The voltage discharge progress is shown by the front panel meter. 

Failure modes are shown by the front panel LED's for quick troubleshooting.   

 
Convenience and testing features include: 

Test results are determined quickly, without operator intervention.   

Operator instructions are printed on the rear panel for quick reference.   

The HT-3000P allows custom setups for voltage ramp, test time and leakage limit.  

The  Ground  check  can  be  defeated  by  a  switch  on  the  rear  panel  for  testing  of  products 
using a two wire power supply cord. 

Voltage  is  discharged  by  a  resistor  bank  within  the  HT-3000P  upon  test  completion.  
Discharge progress is shown on the front panel meter. 

Ground  continuity  Pass/Fail  resistance  level  is  adjustable  during  the  annual  calibration 
procedure.  

 
The HT-3000P meets all safety agency criteria for automatic production line dielectric withstand 
testers. 
 
Your Tester is warranted for a period of one year upon shipment of the instrument to the original 
purchaser.   
 

Specifications 

 

Specifications for the HT-3000P are listed in Table 1 on the next page.
