HI-POT TEST
1. Hi-Pot Test
THIS IS A MANDATORY TEST
CAUTION - All units that are disassembled as
part of a repair MUST be Hi-Pot tested before
being returned to the customer.
This test applies a high voltage to the AC line
cord and measures the current leakage to the
chassis and/or other metal parts on the outside
of the unit to check for potential shock hazards.
If the unit fails Hi-Pot test, it must be returned to
the technician for troubleshooting and repair of
the problem, after which it must be Hi-Pot tested
again.
