HypotULTRA III is a C-UL-US & TUV-GS safety agency listed fully-automated dielectric analyzer for safety agency production line testing. The HypotULTRA III family features two models. The 7620 is an AC Hipot with an optional 4 or 8 channel internal scanning matrix. The 7650 is a 3-in-1 system that performs AC Hipot, DC Hipot and Insulation Resistance tests. An optional 4 or 8 channel internal scanning matrix is also available. The optional scanner is ideal for multiple point testing of a single product or multiple product testing. The availability of 4 or 8 port scanners in either the AC only or AC/DC/IR versions provide flexibility in configuring a tester that meets the user's specific needs. For added functionality, HypotULTRA III interfaces easily with the Associated Research, SC6540 modular scanner.

HypotULTRA III also offers a full compliment of automation interfaces including Ethernet. HypotULTRA III is the only Hipot Tester on the market currently offering Ethernet as a available control interface. This allows for remote access of an instrument from a PC with a network connection. It also provides for barcode scanning locally, when attached directly to the instrument as well as barcode scanning remotely, when attached directly to the PC. There is also an active RS-232 serial port on the interface card. In addition HypotULTRA also offers an RS-232 and GPIB interface. Either interface is available at no cost.

Both models feature an enhanced graphic LCD with an Analog Bar Graph. The enhanced graphic LCD simplifies the user interface by providing clear and easy to understand menus. Unique to the HypotULTRA III is an analog bar graph, which allows a user to monitor test results versus limit settings while a test is running.

The enhanced graphic LCD also allows for advanced features such as the patented CAL-ALERT, an automatic built-in calibration alert system, the patented VERI-CHEK, a built-in self verification system designed to check the instrument's functionality and an exclusive prompt and hold function which allows user configurable messages to be displayed during the test cycle.

The CAL-ALERT feature is a built-in calibration alert system that automatically alerts the user when the instrument is due for re-calibration. The CAL-ALERT function will notify its user a month prior to the instrument's due date. This date is automatically set after each calibration. The user has the flexibility to override this date and manually set up their desired calibration date. This user-friendly feature helps to ease the burden placed on manufacturers by eliminating the need for manual tracking of calibration dates.

VERI-CHEK is a built-in self-verification system designed to meet requirements that call for the proper verification of a hipot tester's functionality. VERI-CHEK is a menu driven process that will guide an operator through the proper steps to verify the functionality of the electrical safety tester and connected accessories. It is a cost savings feature in terms of both time and money.

The prompt and hold function was developed for applications where steps or procedures must be performed as part of a test cycle. The prompt function will hold and pause the test cycle and allow a simple message to be displayed. The user prior to running the test can configure this message and it can be set up to display during the appropriate time of the test cycle. The prompt cycle can help to make certain that the required procedures or steps within the test cycle are performed accurately every single time. This translates to more accurate results and increased throughput.

HypotULTRA III also includes two continuity test modes that allow the user to select whether to perform a low current continuity test simultaneously with the hipot test or to perform an independent continuity test. A continuity test can also be configured to run through a scanner for multi-point continuity tests.

For increased user safety HypotULTRA III features the patented SmartGFI, which is a high speed GFI shutdown circuit that provides maximum protection from electrical shock to the user. The SmartGFI includes patented technology. For instance, in order for a GFI system to work in safety testing applications the return circuit of the device under test (DUT) must not be connected to ground. However this is not always the case. If a conventional GFI is used on a DUT that requires the return to be grounded then the GFI circuit has to be manually disabled. An exclusive feature of SmartGFI is that it automatically detects the condition of the return lead circuit. SmartGFI, by monitoring the return configuration of the DUT, has the unique capability to enable or disable its GFI circuitry accordingly.

Lastly, HypotULTRA III carries both the C-UL-US and TUV-GS safety agency marks. These marks signify that HypotULTRA III's fundamental design and manufacture is safe for normal operator usage. The marks also mean that HypotULTRA III has gone through and passed type tests such as protective ground bond tests, voltage tests and dielectric strength tests. This provides manufacturers who are unfamiliar with high voltage test equipment assurance that the HypotULTRA III is safe to use. It can also provide compliance to certain standards inlcuding OSHA requirements for safe work environments.
