Section 4 

Troubleshooting the HTT-1R 

 

The HTT-1R requires an annual calibration.  If the HTT-1R does not operate as described in the 
Theory of Operation section, and the equipment connected to the HTT-1R has been verified to be 
in  good  working  condition,  then  the  HTT-1R  should  be returned to Compliance West USA for 
inspection and/or repair. 
 
Table  3  shows  expected  results  for  a  known  good  hipot  tester  for  all  recommended  operating 
modes. Table 4 and 5 shows the expected values to be measured with a resistance meter. Values 
of less than 1 ohm should be measured with a high precision resistance meter.

create the simulated test failure is visible
