Initial Checkout Procedure
Use this procedure to verify that the HT-5000P ac/dc 200mA tester is working correctly.
Refer to table 3-1, figure 3-1 and table 3-2 for location of items.
CAUTION
High voltage, risk of shock, use with care.
1. Turn the Tester on using the AC Power switch.
2. Set the Test Timer switch, and Failure Shutdown switch to ON position.
3. Disconnect leads from the Output and Return jacks.
4. Set the Test Time to around 30 seconds.
5. Push the RESET button. The TEST button should light.
6. Disarm the Zero Voltage Start safety feature by turning the voltage knob to the minimum.
7. Push the TEST button.
8. After the FULL VOLTAGE indicator lights, use the Voltage Adjust knob to set the desired
output voltage. At the end of the test, the Full Voltage, Hipot Pass, and RESET switch
indicators should be lit.
9. Push the RESET button. The TEST button should light.
10. Disarm the Zero Voltage Start safety feature by turning the voltage knob to the minimum.
11. Connect the red lead to the Output receptacle, and connect the black lead to the Return
receptacle, then, connect the two leads together to simulate a high leakage current condition.
12. Push the TEST button.
13. Use the Voltage Adjust knob to increase the voltage output, but the test should terminate
immediately and the buzzer should sound. The Excess Leakage Indicator and RESET button
indicators should be lit.
14. Disconnect the red lead (banana connector) from the HV output of the HT-5000P ac/dc
200mA, but keep the red alligator clip connected with the black lead which is already
connected to the Return receptacle.
15. Push the RESET button. The TEST button should light.
16. Disarm the Zero Voltage Start safety feature by turning the voltage knob to the minimum.
17. Push the TEST button.
18. After the FULL VOLTAGE indicator lights, use the Voltage Adjust knob to set the output
voltage to approx. 1500 volts.
19. (This test simulates a dielectric breakdown. High voltage could exist on the alligator clips.
Exercise caution to avoid shock.) Pick up the red lead and insert it into the HV Output
during the machine is performing the test. The test will immediately terminate with a buzzer.
The Full Voltage, Hipot Fail, and RESET button indicators should be lit.
20. Push the RESET button. The TEST button should light.
If any of these tests give unexpected results, service may be required. Please check the
test setup and if further information is needed, contact our Service hotline for assistance.
