HT-10KVDC to conduct actual testing. Initial Setup 1. Remove the HT-10KVDC from its shipping carton and set it up on a bench. Plug it in to a correctly rated source of supply, using the supplied cordset. Turn it on using the switch on the rear panel.
"Hipot Pass" light or the red "Hipot Fail" light on the front panel is lit, and the output voltage, as indicated on the front panel meter, drops to a safe level. This indicates that the HT-10KVDC output voltage has discharged to a safe level and there is no energy stored in the circuit.
The instrument is a bench-type Dielectric Withstand Tester with DC Output, designed for laboratory testing of components and insulation systems. The HT-10KVDC features automatic one button operation, with numerous safety features designed to protect the operator: The Return Lead is directly connected to ground potential for operator safety.

Remove the Tester from its container and place it on a test bench. AC Line Voltage Requirements Connect the HT-10KVDC only to the voltage source per the rating on the rear panel. Fuse Replacement There is a user-replaceable fuse (F1) located on the rear panel. The fuse rating is on the rear panel.
Front and Rear Panel Features The front panel features of the HT-10KVDC are shown in Figure 3-1 and described in Table 3-1. The rear panel features of the HT-10KVDC are shown in Figure 3-2 and described in Table 3-2.

9. At test termination, the Excess Leakage and/or Hipot Fail lamps; items 3 and 5, and red RESET lamps should be lit. 10. Disconnect the black lead from the red lead, and remove both leads from the HT-10KVDC. 11. Enable the voltage output by pressing the RESET button, then the TEST button.

This procedure sets the amount of time the tester will conduct the high voltage test. The test duration of the HT-10KVDC is factory set for 2 seconds. If a different test duration is required, use this procedure to set it.
2, is pushed. The minimum test time is approx. 1 second. When this switch is in the ON position, the test time will be controlled by the HT-10KVDC's internal timer. For information on how to set this time, see instructions above.
HT-10KVDC will continue to test. Voltage output may sag if the power required by the circuit is beyond the capabilities of the HT-10KVDC. If the Test Timer Switch; item 12, is ON, the HT-10KVDC will conduct the high voltage •...
Test results Hipot Pass: If the Hipot Pass light is lit, the equipment being tested passed all test parameters. Red LED/Buzzer: Any red LED/buzzer test result means the equipment being tested failed a test phase. If unanticipated test failures continue, and you suspect that the equipment under test is built correctly, check the following item: If the Leakage Current level is at its highest setting and failures continue, check the circuit being tested with an ohmmeter;...
