Operations
Start Output
BEFORE pressing the OUTPUT button (on the Voltage display), check to ensure
every setting is correct. Press the OUTPUT button to start the output. The LED
(above the OUTPUT / RESET button) will light, indicating normal voltage output.
Stop Output
Press the RESET button to stop any test. When in the Output OFF (Standby) mode,
the LED above the OUTPUT / RESET button will be OFF.
Stop Alarm
When the system encounters an overload, short-circuit, over-temperature, over-
current, or power/power-factor beyond the preset limit, the unit will shut down.
Output power will turn off, and an alarm will sound. The OUTPUT / RESET LED
will flash.
When an error occurs, an error message will appear on either the Voltage or Current
Display (see
Interpreting Error Messages
, page 4-17).
Pressing the OUTPUT / RESET button (on the Voltage display) once, will disable
the alarm. Pressing it again, will reset the error message and return the unit to standby
status. Pressing the OUTPUT / RESET button a third time will resume output (test).
NOTE: Please determine the cause (source) of any alarm and correct the
problem — before pressing OUTPUT — to start the output again.
