Spark Tester Controls
ON/OFF Power Switch
This switch is located on the rear panel of the spark tester.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter will indicate the high voltage present at the electrode. The
voltage is displayed in kV. When the output is set to 1,000V the display
will read 1.0. A reading of 10.2 indicates that the test voltage at the
electrode is 10.2kV DC.
This display can
also display a “Percent Load” value and the “Set Point”
value by pressing the “A” Button. These values will be displayed
momentarily on the Voltmeter display and then will return to displaying
the spark tester voltage at the electrode.
“A” Button
Pressing the
“A” button
will momentarily cycle the Voltage display
through the “Percent Load” and the “Set Point” Values.
UP/DOWN ARROW (VOLTAGE ADJUST) buttons
The spark test voltage may be adjusted from 0 to the maximum voltage
(1,000 for the DC-1B, 10,000 for the DC-10B and 20,000 for the DC-20B)
in 100 volt increments by pressing the up and down arrow buttons under
the voltmeter. Press and hold a button to increase the speed at which
you change the voltage setting.
Fault Counter
The 3-digit fault counter registers a count each time any fault type is
detected in the electrode. This display can also momentarily show 4
additional fault counts by pressing the “B” button. These fault counts are
Pinhole, Metal Contact, Multiple pinhole, Gross Bare wire. Press the CR
button to reset the number of faults on the counter to 0.
“B” Button
Pressing the “B” button will momentarily cycle through the 4 additional
fault count values. (Pinhole, Metal Contact, Multiple Pinhole, Gross Bare
Wire)
“CR” COUNT
RESET button
Pressing the “CR” button will reset all fault count values.
