The red lamp  « Danger, HV ON  » lights and the display shows ( in example) : 
 
 
Fig 8.19 
 
IMPORTANT : 
 
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE HIGH VOLTAGE INDICATOR (RED LAMP) IS NOT ON WHEN 
CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING THE SPECIMEN. 
 
In case where the MANUAL test time mode has been selected, the unit remains in the measurement 
mode permanently until the [DISCHARGE] push button is pressed.  
Use the UP arrow key to increase the output voltage and the DOWN arrow key to decrease the output 
voltage. The maximum voltage which can be reached is those which is displayed on the parameter 
line : 
 
VOLTAGE: x.xx KVAC 
 
However  according  to  the  impedance  of  the  specimen  under  test,  the  maximum  reached 
voltage could be lower. 
 
If the AUTO test time has been selected, every second the value of the RISE time counts down one 
unit, then the value of the HOLD time and at least the value of the FALL time. When the FALL time 
reaches 0 the output voltage is cut off automatically. According to the leakage current value during the 
test time in comparison with the IMAX and IMIN limits, the red LED (FAIL) or the green LED (PASS) is 
illuminated.
