Currents of as little as 5 mA at 120 volts can cause death, and the HT- 2800P is capable of generating 5 mA at up to 2800 volts. The HT-2800P has been designed to minimize exposure to high voltages. However, the potential for serious injury or death exists and personnel should be aware when they conduct this test. -
Page 7: Safety Techniques
Safety Techniques The high voltage circuit of the HT-2800P can be shut off at any time by pressing the RESET button. The HT-2800P has been provided with a Reset switch to provide an unarmed "Standby" setting when it is energized, but idle. When the red RESET button is lit, the tester will not provide high voltage until the RESET button and the TEST button have been pressed in order. -
Page 8: Defeating The Ground Check
HT-2800P may show a "PASS". To allow the HT-2800P to test equipment using a two wire power supply cord, the Ground Check can be defeated by turning the rear panel Ground Check switch to the Off position. -

Page 19: Initial Checkout Procedure
The following procedure will verify that the HT-2800P is working correctly. We recommend that this procedure be conducted periodically to ensure proper operation of the tester. (A Compliance West HTT-1 function tester may also be used to verify the HT-2800P is working correctly.) The following items are needed to conduct this procedure: - A three inch piece of 18 AWG insulated hookup wire with each end stripped back ½". -
Page 20: Setting Up The Ht-2800P For Production Line Testing
This section describes procedures for setting the Pass/Fail leakage current level, high voltage ramp time, high voltage level, and high voltage test time. The HT-2800P is calibrated as shown below at the factory to be usable without adjustment in the majority of applications. If the factory settings are acceptable, you may skip this section. -

Most safety agencies will allow a shorter test (usually 1 sec. vs. 1 min.) if the voltage is increased by 20%. The HT-2800P is factory set for 1700 volts, a voltage level used for the one second test for many types of equipment. Consult the safety agencies for the required voltage level for the type of equipment being tested. -

(usually 1 second vs. 1 minute) if the voltage is increased by 20%. The HT-2800P is factory set for 2 seconds. Consult the safety agencies for the test time for the type of equipment being tested. If a different test time is required, use this procedure to set it. -
Page 23: Daily Operation Test
The operation of the HT-2800P should be audited daily by conducting the tests described in the Initial Checkout Procedure section of this Manual. Compliance West also offers the model HTT-1, which can be used to quickly verify the operation of your HT-2800P. Contact the factory for details. -

Page 29: Voltage Calibration Adjustment
LED has been attained. Voltage Calibration Adjustment Use the following procedure to calibrate the output voltage. Ensure that all test leads are removed from the HT-2800P. Turn OFF the HT-2800P tester. To enter the Calibration Mode you MUST follow the following sequence: - Hold in both the Test and Reset buttons. - Page 30 10. Press the Reset button until "V2" is displayed on the front panel meter. 11. Turn the Voltage Adjust on the rear panel to minimum (counterclockwise). Press the Test button and 500 will be displayed on the front panel meter. Be careful as the HT-2800P will be putting out voltage at this point.
