A COMPLETE MID-RANGE SYSTEM TO MEET THE MOST COMMON

ELECTRICAL SAFETY COMPLIANCE TESTS

With its 2U 1/2 rack mount cabinet design the Hypot®III family of products can be interconnected to the HYAMP®III,
model 3130 Ground Bond tester that is also designed in a 2U 1/2 rack mount style cabinet. These two instruments can
then be rack mounted side by side in a single 19” 2U rack space. The interconnect capability of these two instruments

also provides a single DUT connection and automates the test sequence or sequences chosen by the operator such as

AC Hipot, DC Hipot, IR test and Ground Bond test.

INTERCONNECT CAPABILITIES

ENHANCED GRAPHIC LCD

The enhanced graphic liquid crystal display on the Hypot®III
and the HYAMP®III provides the operator with complete test

setup and results in an easy-to-use interface. The graphic LCD

makes testing safer, easier and more reliable than ever before.

(Above display is shown at actual size.)

USER-FRIENDLY FEATURES

NEW TO HYPOT®III

FEATURE

Exclusive SmartGFI™function

BENEFIT

The patent pending SmartGFI provides maximum
operator protection to the user. If the circuit detects
excessive leakage to the ground it shuts down the high
voltage in less than 1 millisecond. SmartGFI is
automatically activated if the DUT is not grounded so
that the operator does not need to make the decision
whether to activate the SmartGFI.

FEATURE

Max output current 20 mA AC and 7.5 mA DC

BENEFIT

Hypot®III is a true hipot tester with enough output
current to test capacitive loads in AC mode and allows
the instrument to comply with the UL “120 K ohm”
requirements.

FEATURE

Switchable Floating and Grounded Return

BENEFIT

This feature is included within the software of the
instrument. The instrument automatically detects if
the DUT is floating or connected to Earth Ground. If
the DUT is grounded the smart GFI circuit turns off
the GFI detector. If the DUT is floating the GFI circuit
is enabled.

FEATURE

Digitally controlled arc detection system

BENEFIT

The arc detection system allows the operator to select
whether low-level arcs should be detected and provides
the operator with the ability to digitally select and
program multiple sensitivity levels.

FEATURE

Built-in adjustable Continuity test mode

BENEFIT

Hypot®III meets ground continuity test requirements
called out by UL and other safety agencies.

FEATURE

Electronic ramping (up & down)

BENEFIT

Electronic ramping provides a gradual and timed
method to increase or decrease output voltage to the
DUT effectively minimizing any damage from quick
high voltage changes to sensitive DUTs.

FEATURE

Resistance Range of 1-9999 MΩ

BENEFIT

Model 3670 AC/DC/IR includes an increased maximum
resistance limit, which will allow for increased
resistance measurement of the insulation of a DUT.

• Tamper Proof Front Panel

• User Selectable Output

• Built-In Security Settings

• Multiple Test Memories & Steps

• Electronic Dwell Setting

• No Load Setup Of Voltage Current

NEW TO HYPOT®III & HYAMP®III

FEATURE

Enhanced graphic LCD

BENEFIT

The enhanced graphic LCD provides the operator with
an advanced user-interface. This backlit graphic display
makes viewing and interpreting test results and data
easier than ever before. The LCD can display text and
symbols eliminating the need to decipher abbreviations.

FEATURE

Built-in VERI-CHEK™self verification system

BENEFIT

Regular verification is required by some agencies to
validate that the instrument is functioning correctly. The
VERI-CHEK feature, by prompting the user through the
correct steps, allows for quick and easy validation. This
built-in feature eliminates the additional cost of having
to purchase an external box for verification.

FEATURE

Remote Safety Interlock

BENEFIT

The Remote Safety Interlock prevents the high voltage
from being activated without the interlock enabled.
The interlock works as a safety feature by using a set
of contacts to enable or disable the instrument’s high
voltage output. If the interlock contacts open during a
test the high voltage output is shut down.

FEATURE

Built-in CAL-ALERT™function

BENEFIT

This feature automatically alerts the user when the
instrument is due for re-calibration. This eliminates the
need for manual tracking of calibration dates.
