HOW TO USE IT
Test the HVA battery and display by pressing
the ON button. Verify that each digit in turn
displays 8. If needed, replace the 9V battery
with an alkaline or lithium type.
Always install the HVA on a hotstick with length
appropriate for the voltage to be measured by
way of the built-in universal spline or hookstick
connection, making certain it is securely attached.
To measure the current in a conductor, place
the HVA-2000 completely over the conductor
as shown (upper right) so that the conductor is
completely inside the U. When the conductor is
properly positioned inside the U, the current
reading is displayed.
Up to four current measurements are stored
by the HVA-2000, sufficient to measure three
phase conductors and a neutral.
To display the stored readings, press the ON
button for each reading. Each of the four
readings will be displayed in rotation. The
newest reading will be displayed first. For
example, pressing the ON button four times
will show the most recent four readings:
The HVA will shut off automatically four minutes
after the last reading. All stored readings are cleared
when the unit shuts off.
All stored readings can also be cleared by
pressing and holding the ON button.
All readings are in Amps. Currents below 1 Amp
may indicate zero. A zero current reading does
not mean the line is dead or grounded. Voltage
in excess of 500kV may damage the unit.
If the HVA does not turn on or if it shuts off
during use, replace the battery with a standard
9V alkaline type through the access door on
the bottom of the unit. For temperatures
below -20°F (-29°C) a lithium battery such
as Energizer type LA522 is recommended.
