Section 1 Introduction and Safety An Introduction to Dielectric Withstand Testing with the HT-P V2 The continuity test/dielectric withstand test is a production line test which is recognized by safety agencies worldwide as a valid criterion of safe assembly of end-use equipment. The test ensures that the primary circuit power and ground conductors were properly wired and connected for safe operation.
Test Personnel Personnel require special training to conduct the dielectric withstand test. They should understand electrical fundamentals clearly and be aware that high voltage is adept and creative at completing a path to ground. Instructions should include a warning against any metal jewelry. Operators should not allow others in the testing area, especially when tests are being conducted.
under test, he should press the RESET Button, then the TEST button, with his right hand. This will allow the greatest separation between the operator and the test being conducted. The HT-P V2 is designed to bleed the high voltage away after the test has concluded. To ensure that any voltage present in the equipment being tested has been completely bled away, the operator should not unplug the equipment under test from the HT-P V2 until the front panel meter reads zero volts.
Using the HT-P V2 Dielectric Withstand Tester The dielectric withstand test involves high voltage and caution should be exercised when using the tester. The return lead of the tester is connected to ground potential and when properly connected to the equipment being tested, it will guard against the operator contacting high voltage.
Leakage Test The HT-P V2 leakage test uses a low-frequency circuit to check for excessive leakage between primary power components and ground. There is not a specific leakage current level pass/fail requirement at this time for most equipment, however, higher than normal leakage current on a particular part may indicate an assembly or component problem in the primary circuit.
Various adapters and pigtail leads are available from Compliance West USA, or you can make your own, just make sure for the correct configuration see the description of the outputs in the connections section. If tests of this type are...
Section 2 Specifications and Controls Introduction This manual contains complete operating, maintenance, and calibration instructions for the models HT-2000P V2, HT-2800P V2, HT-3000P V2 Dielectric Withstand Testers, please see Table 1 for specifications. The instrument is a bench-type Dielectric Withstand Tester with AC and/or DC Output, designed for production line testing.
Front Panel Features Before using the HT-P V2 tester, take a few minutes to become familiar with the use of its controls, indicators, and connectors. The front panel features of the HT-P V2 are shown in Figure 1 and Error! Reference source not found. then described in Table 2. Figure 1.

Table 2. Front Panel Controls, Indicators and Connectors. ITEM NAME FUNCTION RESET Button / Red Indicator When lit, indicates that the HT-P V2 tester is unarmed. This button must be pushed before the TEST button is functional. When the RESET button is pressed, the red RESET indicator goes out and the yellow TEST indicator is lit. PRESSING THE RESET BUTTON AT ANY TIME STOPS THE TEST.
Rear Panel Features Before using the HT-P V2 tester, take a few minutes to become familiar with the use of its controls, indicators, and connectors. The rear panel features of the HT-P V2 are shown in Figure 2 and described in Table 3. Figure 2.

Table 3. Panel Controls, Indicators and Connectors. ITEM NAME FUNCTION Appliance Inlet / Fuse Holder / Power Switch Use supplied cord set to connect tester to appropriate source of supply. Replace line fuse. Turn Tester ON/OFF. Power switch must be accessible during operation Fuse replacement warning / Rating of supply Specifies replacement fuse and required supply voltage.
Options Isolation Relay Interface (PN:00-RI) The Isolation Relay Interface option is a Female DB-15 connector located on the rear panel of the tester. The Isolation Relay Interface option allows the user to manipulate the machine thru the DB-15 connector using a PLC or any other control system that can supply 5V, 12, or 24V depending on the user specification when purchasing the tester.
The HT-P V2 tester is shipped in a special protective container that should prevent damage to the instrument during shipping. Check the shipping order against the contents of the container and report any damage or incomplete shipment to Compliance West USA. The container should include the following, pictures are showed in Table : HT-P V2 Dielectric Withstand Tester 18 AWG Line Power Cord.
The following procedure will verify that the HT-P V2 is working correctly. We recommend that this procedure be conducted periodically to ensure proper operation of the tester. (A Compliance West HTT- 1 or HTT-1R function tester may also be used to verify the HT-P V2 is working correctly).
Passage of these tests indicates that the HT-P V2 tester is functioning properly and that it is safe to use. If the results of the performance test are not in accordance with the above, service is required. Remove the HT-P V2 tester from service and contact Compliance West USA, Inc. for servicing information.
If the factory settings are acceptable, you may skip this section. Factory Settings The unit is configured as shown when shipped from Compliance West USA as it shown it in Table Table 6. Factory Settings. HT-3000P V2, HT-2000P V2...
Display Setting Limits for Leakage and Time To view the Test Duration and Leakage limit, hold down the RESET button for 2 seconds, then, the meter will display “L” with the Leakage Limit value in mA. Hold down the RESET button again for 2 seconds and the meter will display “d”...
Leakage Current Level Adjustment To set the leakage limit follow the steps below: Connect the HT-P V2 to a correctly rated source of supply and turn the power switch to the I or ON position. Push the RESET button. The yellow TEST indicator should light, indicating that the HT- P V2 is ready to test.
Operation Techniques The following paragraphs describe how to operate the HT-P V2 tester. Before proceeding with testing, the HT-P V2 tester should be set up for production line testing. See Section above before continuing. CAUTION: High voltage is generated by the HT-P V2. Although the chassis of the equipment under test is grounded by the HT-P V2, a risk of shock exists.
Testing a Device with 3-Wire Power Supply Cord Connect the HT-P V2 unit to a correctly rated source of supply and turn the power switch to the I or ON position. Push the RESET button. The yellow TEST indicator should light, indicating that the HT-P V2 unit is ready to test.
Testing a Device with 2-Wire Power Supply Cord Connect the HT-P V2 unit to a correctly rated source of supply and turn the power switch to the I or ON position. Push the RESET button. The yellow TEST indicator should light, indicating that the HT-P V2 unit is ready to test.
