11. The FL-20A touch screen will indicate test progress as it tries
to locate the fault. The X3F yellow light will ash to alert that
a test is in progress, and the red High Voltage light will go on,
indicating that there is high voltage on the test cable.
12. If the hi-pot test is successful, the touch screen will dis-
play, “Pass.” A “Pass” indicates that the tested conduc-
tors were able to withstand the preselected voltage for
the preselected amount of time, without any arcing.
If there is an arc condition, the touch screen will display, “Fail”
and the voltage at which it failed.
13. WARNING: Do not touch the red and blue probes or the
test cable until the red light on the X3F goes OFF. The red
light indicates that there is still a charge present on the test
cable and the probes. Before handling the reel under test,
wait at least 10 seconds, then discharge all conductors to
ground. A stored charge in the cable can be lethal.
