Note: The following procedure tests the "Hipot Breakdown" circuit of the HT-
3000P and involves high voltage. The only exposed parts during this test are at
ground potential. However, the voltage inside the High Voltage Device socket
may be as much as 2000 volts AC or 2800 volts DC. Proceed with caution.
21. Make sure the black lead is still plugged into the
RETURN jack on the front panel.
22. Make sure the Ground Check switch on the rear panel is in the Off position.
23. Remove the hookup wire from the DEVICE receptacle, but leave it connected to the clip of
the black lead. Carefully hold the black lead by its insulated alligator clip boot.
24. Push the red RESET button, then the yellow TEST button. After the Full Voltage LED
lights, and before the Hipot Pass LED has lit, insert the other end of the hookup wire into
one of the vertical parallel slots in the High Voltage Device receptacle on the front panel.
25. The test should immediately terminate with a buzzer. The
Ground OK
,
Ground Open
,
Full Voltage , Hipot Fail and red RESET LED’s should be lit.
Note: Depending on how the connection between the High Voltage Test Receptacle and
the hookup wire is made, the
Excess Leakage
LED may light, and in some instances, the
Ground OK LED may extinguish.
Passage of these tests indicates that the HT-3000P 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 from service and contact Compliance West USA, Inc. for
servicing information.
Setting up the HT-3000P for Production Line Testing
This section describes procedures for setting the Pass/Fail leakage current level, high
voltage ramp time, high voltage level, and high voltage test time. The HT-3000P 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.
Factory Settings
The unit is configured as shown when shipped from Compliance West USA:
Voltage Type: AC
Leakage Current Level: 5 mA
High Voltage Ramp Time: 1 second
High Voltage Level: 1200 volts
High Voltage Test Time: 2 seconds
Adjustment of the various settings are shown below.
CAUTION
High voltage is generated by the HT-3000P. Although the chassis of the
equipment under test is grounded by the HT-3000P, a risk of shock exists.
Exercise care when using the HT-3000P.
NOTE
These adjustment procedures set the use parameters of the HT-3000P. They do not
take the place of the annual calibration required by the safety agencies.
