Model HF-15B High Frequency Spark Tester
HF-15B Instruction Manual – Page 22
Remove Voltage on Fault- When the unit is in LATCH mode and a fault is detected, the relay will latch.
When Remove Voltage on Fault is selected, high voltage will be disabled while the relay is latched, so
the wire may be safely handled or inspected. When the system is reset either by pressing the front
panel reset button, connecting the RESET and GND terminals on the terminal block, or providing a
remote reset command through the Compact Comm modules, the system will be reset and high voltage
will be restored. Remove Voltage on Fault has no effect when the unit is in Non-Latch mode
Metal Contact- Sometimes referred to as BARE WIRE. A Metal Contact fault is defined as a defect or
bare patch in the insulation that allows the electrode to come into momentary direct contact with the
wire conductor. In order for a fault to be typed as a metal contact, the bead chain electrode must make
physical contact with the conductor under test.
Multi-Pinhole- A Multi-Pinhole is defined as two or more pinhole faults closely spaced. It can also be a
single fault of longer duration where no metal contact was made between the wire conductor and the
electrode.
Pinhole- A pinhole is defined as a short-duration fault where no direct metal contact between the wire
conductor and the electrode is made.
Set Point Voltage- This is the desired test voltage that is input through the front panel controls or
remotely by PLC
Voltage Watchdog- Test Voltage parameters may be set by users to ensure that adequate test voltages
are always being used to test product. These values can be based off of upper/lower limits (WDL), or
percentage of set point voltage (EVP).
New Features
Display: The HF-15B is available with a bright, detachable display, (Model RC). This display
connects to the test module with a short serial cable and eliminates the need for a separate
remote display (like our previous model ARC, used with the HF-15A). The RC display can be
mounted up to 60 meters (200 feet) away with a longer, shielded, serial cable. If the customer
wants to mount the RC display remotely in a rack mount instrument panel, a rack-mount
adaptor is available, (CIC Part No. 92244).
Front Panel Security: The HF-15B system offers a customizable password protect option that
can be enabled, if desired, to prevent operators from changing or accessing information. There
are four levels of password protection that allow supervisors to choose exactly what the
operators are able to access.
BD-12S Design (Patent Pending): The new split-electrode design provides an easy way to
string up a cable through the bead chain electrode, guaranteeing precise center placement for
the most effective and reliable test. The bead chains are now arranged at an angle, eliminating
gaps between hanging beads, and providing the best coverage around the product at all times.
