GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This portable dual high voltage tester can test both primary and secondary insulated
systems and components. The test voltage is selected by the user at either 500VDC
or 5,000VDC.
This HD Electric tool is designed for use only on cables or equipment that has been
verified to be both deenergized and discharged. This tool does not have any capability
to withstand any externally applied voltage.
Always connect both alligator clip connections before initiating a test and disconnect the
leads only after the tester is turned off and the device under test is discharged. This tester
is powered by one 9V lithium or alkaline battery which can be accessed on the back of the
unit by removing the two screws holding the battery compartment cover in place.
This tester provides a high voltage DC output used typically to test primary distribution
voltage or secondary voltage equipment for faults or high leakage currents. The tester
includes these features:
• Powered by one 9V lithium or alkaline battery.
• Provides a nominal output voltage of user selectable 500VDC or 5,000VDC.
• The output is current limited to two milliamps maximum for safety.
• The tester is turned on by pressing and holding a single pushbutton for 500VDC
or two buttons for 5,000VDC. The buttons are mechanically guarded to prevent
accidental operation.
• The front panel has indicators for each voltage range. When only the left button is
pressed an amber light turns on indicating the battery condition is good and that
the 500VDC range has been selected. When both buttons are pressed simultaneously
a red light turns on indicating the battery condition is good and that the 5,000VDC
range has been selected. An additional red light indicates a leakage current of 100
microamps when the 5,000VDC range is selected or 1,000 microamps when the
500VDC range is selected. If the voltage indicating lights do not turn on, indicating
a low battery, no high voltage will be produced.
• The maximum test period is 30 seconds after which the tester automatically shuts off.
• The output leads are high voltage retractable wire with an insulation value of 10kV,
a retracted length of 24 in. and an extended length of 48 in. The output leads are
terminated in large booted copper alligator clips.
• A magnet on the back holds the tester firmly to a steel surface.
