Standard Features and Benefits
Feature Digitally set arc detection
Benefit 9 sensitivity levels to check for lower arcing conditions for diagnostic
purposes
Feature Dedicated function keys
Benefit Allow the user to quickly access instrument functions without having to
navigate through a menuing system.
Feature Flashing high voltage indicator
Benefit Flashes and remains active while HV is on.
Feature Ground Continuity Test
Benefit For grounded and third pin terminated products, it allows for a quick and easy
check of continuity on a ground system. This test must be passed before a
Hipot Test ia activated and is a requirement of UL and other safety agencies.
A three pin remote receptacle box comes standard as part of the system.
Feature Password lock-out
Benefit A password may be set to restrict access to the instrument's set-up mode.
Feature Enhanced LO limit setting
Benefit Operating across the full range of leakage current, 0.00-19.99mA AC or
0.00-5.99mA DC. Allows detection of low leakage levels during a test to
ensure that the device under test is connected. The user can select minimum
current flow based on anticipated current draw of a device under test that is
known to be good.
Feature Readability down to 100 microamps
Benefit Provides trip point setability to detect low levels of leakage current

Feature Fast shut down speed
Benefit In the event of a breakdown or short condition the HypotPLUS II will shut
down in less than 0.4 milliseconds.
Feature Complete front panel digital calibration
Benefit Non-invasive calibration is accomplished through the front panel. No
calibration potentiometers to adjust which eliminates drifting. High voltage is
not active during calibration.
Feature Enhanced remote control
Benefit Test inputs are provided for Test, Reset and Program Select. Three remotely
accessible programs are available to automate your testing needs. Test outputs
include Pass, Fail, and Test in Process.
Optional Features and Benefits
Feature 10-volt analog signal
Benefit Enhances the ablility to use HypotPLUS II in an automated system. This
analog signal allows the user full access to the voltage and current controls.
The user can set the voltage and read back current and voltage over the full
range of HypotPLUS II.
Feature Real current (5500DT only)
Benefit Many DUT's are highly capacitive. This includes any item with line filters or
items such as motors. The real current option allows the user to monitor only
the REAL portion of the leakage current and ignore any REACTIVE
component that is present due to the capacitance of the DUT. Either REAL or
TOTAL current may be read. Independent failure settings for REAL and
TOTAL currents are also provided.
