Section 3 

Operation 

 

This section describes how to set up and make measurements with the HT-5000P ac/dc 

200mA unit. We recommend that you read the entire section carefully so that you can use all of 
its features.  

 

Setting up the HT-5000P ac/dc 200mA 

 

The  HT-5000P  ac/dc  200mA  is  shipped  in  a  special  protective  container  that  should 

prevent damage during shipping.  The container will include the following: 
 

 

The HT-5000P ac/dc 200mA Dielectric Withstand Tester 

 

A black 18 AWG Test Return Lead (Alligator Clip/Banana Plug ends) 

 

A red 18 AWG High Voltage Test Lead (Alligator Clip/High Voltage Plug ends) 

 

A Power Cord.  

 

This Instruction Manual 

 

18 AWG Line Power 

Cord

 

GL Return Test Lead 

Red 18 AWG High 

Voltage Test Lead  

 

 

 

 

 

Table 3-1. Shipment Cables & Connectors 

 

Use  the  original  shipping  container  for  subsequent  shipping.  If  the  original  shipping 

container is not available, be sure that adequate protection is provided to prevent damage during 
shipment. 

 

AC Line Voltage Requirements and Fuse Replacement 

 

Connect the HT-5000P ac 200mA only to the voltage source indicated on the rear panel. 

 

There is a user-replaceable fuse located on the front panel.  The fuse rating is printed on 

the  front  panel.    For  continued  protection  against  risk  of  fire,  replace  only  with  same  type  and 
rating of fuse. The AC Power switch should be turned off while the fuse is being replaced. 

 

Front and Rear Panel Features 

 

Before using the HT-5000P ac/dc 200mA tester, take a few minutes to become familiar 

with the use of its controls, indicators, and connectors.  The front panel features of the HT-5000P 
ac/dc 200mA are shown in Figure 3-1 and described in Table 3-2.
