3-1 UNCRATING PROCEDURE
1. Exercise care in removing shipping materials so as not to damage unit. 2. Perform visual inspection to determine if unit was damaged during shipment. If there are
any signs of physical damage (such as dents, scratches, oil leaks), contact the factory before proceeding.
4-1 ELECTRICAL SET-UP
WARNING: Be sure the Main Power plug is unplugged before proceeding. 1. Remove High Voltage transformer from transit cart (if supplied) at desired location. 2. Locate the desired location for the test set controls. Prepare the main power input cable for
plugging in to the proper facility power (i.e., 120 volts AC, 230 volts AC, etc.). Leave plug unconnected at this time.
3. Connect a sufficient ground from the ground stud to a proper facility ground using a low
inductance cable with a minimum rating equal to the input rating of the test set.
4. External Interlock If an external interlock is not to be used, plug the connector as supplied into the socket on the control panel marked SX1. If the external interlock is to be used, remove the jumper on the removable connector of the external interlock circuit and connect the external security circuit at these points. (NOTE: The external interlock circuit must consist of a closed loop of dead contacts. When the control power is on, the external circuit will be energized with 120 volts AC.)
High Voltage Connection WARNING: Main power circuit breaker on the front panel must be in the OFF position before proceeding. 1. Connect the ground stud located on the base of the H.V. Transformer to facility ground with
low inductance cable or braid.
2. Connect the low potential side of test specimen to the Return terminal. (Refer to Ground-Guard-Return Connections for other connection options). Note: The Jumper Clip on the binding posts on the base of the HV unit must always be connected, either between ground (“GND”) and return (“RTN”) posts or between ground and guard (“GRD”) posts, as appropriate. Do Not operate unit without the Jumper Clip firmly connected.
3. Connect metering cable and power cable (P1 and TX1) (provided) from connectors on
transformer base to connectors on control panel. 4. Connect the high potential side of test specimen to toroid on top of HV tank. 5. Check that Main Power Circuit Breaker on the control unit is off, and then connect input
Main Power Cable to facility power.
4-2
GROUND-GUARD-RETURN CONNECTIONS The base of the High Voltage transformer contains a currentmeter feature useful in measurement of different current sources. 1. Standard Mode (RTN)
The standard configuration is set up to measure the current from the high potential side of the unit under test to ground. This configuration must be used if it is not possible to isolate the low voltage side of the object under test from ground. The low potential side of the unit under test is connected directly to ground. The binding post Jumper Clip is installed between the “GND” and the “RTN” posts on the base of the H. V. Transformer. This measures the output current flowing from the high voltage output through the unit under test to ground and the current meter then senses the return current from ground to the “RTN” terminal of the high voltage transformer.
2. Guard Mode
For test objects that can be fully isolated from ground it may be desirable to use the Guard Mode. In this mode only current passing through the test object will be displayed on the current meter. This will be especially important if very small currents are to be observed. In this mode the current path does not flow directly to ground from the low potential side of the unit under test, but flows through the currentmeter first and then to ground. The connection to be made is (1) connect the low potential side of the unit under test directly to the post marked “RTN” and (2) connect the jumper clip between the “GRD” and “GND” posts. (NOTE: Ensure the “GND” post is grounded.)
If the test specimen is not fully isolated from ground, the current meter will either not work, or not display accurate current readings, and this mode should not be used.

5-1 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Caution: This equipment is only to be operated by persons familiar with high voltage testing and safety procedures. 1. Ensure proper electrical set-up has been performed, and that Main Power Circuit Breaker on
Control Panel is Off. 2. Check that Emergency Off switch is pulled up in “ON” position. 3. Check that the Voltage Control dial is set to "0" (zero start position). 4. Select the appropriate currentmeter range for the desired test current (if applicable). 5. Set the Current Trip to the desired current level set point. Setting of "1" will trip off the unit
when drawing approximately 10% of current meter range setting. Setting of "11" will trip off the unit when drawing approximately 110% of current meter range setting.
High Voltage Applied 6. Turn on the front panel circuit breaker. Main Power lamp will illuminate. Ready lamp should
illuminate. If Ready lamp does not illuminate, check Emergency Off switch, Zero Start, External Interlock, and Reset.
7. Press HV On push-button. High voltage ON lamp should illuminate. 8. Rotate the Voltage Control dial and watch the Output Voltmeter and Output Currentmeter
until desired levels are reached. 9. Record data, if desired, and lower the output Voltage Control after testing is completed.
Press HV Off button; high voltage will shut off. Overcurrent Failure 10. If an overcurrent situation occurs, the Reset lamp will illuminate and high voltage will be shut
off. To regain high voltage, the Voltage Control dial must be returned to zero and the Reset button must be depressed (lamp will extinguish).
11. After all testing is completed; turn off the front panel circuit breaker. Remove the input
power cable from the facility power input.
6-1 CALIBRATION
Caution: Calibration should only be done by persons familiar with High Voltage testing and safety procedures. All calibrations have been done at the factory. Periodic calibration of the output voltmeter and output currentmeter should be done approximately every six months. NOTE: Refer to Electrical Diagram Section for schematic pertaining to the model number of your test set. Locating the Calibration Adjustments The calibration points are shown in the following diagram.
1. Output Voltmeter
Connect a precision high voltage voltmeter across the output to ground. Raise the output to approximately 80% of the rated output voltage. Adjust the reading on the panel meter (M2) by means of potentiometer R2 to a corresponding reading. Check at other voltages. Voltmeter is peak responding calibrated to Peak/√2 (RMS equivalent of Peak Value).

R103 110% Trip
R235 Range Trip

R202 High CM
R203 Med CM
R204 Low CM
CALIBRATION 2. Output Currentmeter
It is necessary to connect adequately rated High Voltage loads ( isolated from ground) to the high voltage unit that will allow each full range current to be drawn at approximately 15% or higher output voltage. This allows sufficient resolution to adjust current levels.
Place Binding Post Configuration in GUARD MODE. (Jumper clip is installed between “GRD” and “GND” posts.) Connect a precision ammeter between the low potential side of the appropriate high voltage load and the “RTN” post. Select the low current meter range. Raise the output to approximately 80% of the range. Adjust the reading on the panel meter (M1) by means of potentiometer R204 to a corresponding reading. Repeat for Medium and High ranges adjusting R203 and R202, respectively. (High Voltage load will need to change when changing range). An optional method is to use current injection between “RTN” and “GND” (Guard Mode). Do not turn High Voltage On for this method!
3. Overcurrent This calibration should not need adjustment (factory adjusted). If the overcurrent circuit is out of calibration, perform the following steps.
a. With unit off, short the output terminal to ground through an appropriate currentmeter.
NOTE: A High Voltage Load will give better resolution and make calibration easier.
b. Set the Current Trip potentiometer on the front panel to "1", and current range switch to High.
c. Turn on HV On and adjust the output current slowly until 10% of rated current (check
nameplate) is displayed on the currentmeter.
d. Adjust potentiometer R101 until the Reset lamp illuminates and high voltage is shut off.
e. Set the Current Trip potentiometer on front panel to "11".
f. Turn on HV On and adjust the output current slowly until 110% of rated current is
displayed on meter.
g. Adjust potentiometer R103 until the Overload lamp illuminates and high voltage is shut off.
h. Repeat step "B" through "G" as necessary until both settings are calibrated.
4. Range Overcurrent. R235 sets an overcurrent for the ranges and should be set to trip at
approximately 112% of medium range full range current.
