6.0 Controlling the SGTEL-168 via its Front Panel
The SGTEL-168 Surge Generator is able to perform all of its individual functions from the
front panel interface, as described in the following sections. For any given surge type,
the user can define the coupling mode, number of surges and delay time between
surges, and perform the tests.
Further functionality, such as programming surge sequences with different surge types
and creating active test logs for recording results and observations during tests, is
available using Com-Power’s
TransWare™
PC software, which controls the SGTEL-168
remotely via its fiber optic interface and fiber optic to USB adapter. Refer to section 6 for
instructions on controlling the SGTEL-168 using
TransWare™
.
6.1 Self-Test
Each time the SGTEL-168 is turned on, it will automatically perform a three-stage
self-test.
1)
SWITCHING RELAYS ON/OFF - During first stage of Self-Test, relays will toggle
ON and OFF several times in order to remove moisture and demagnetize
the coil.
2)
STATUS CHECK OF HIGH VOLTAGE SUPPLY BOARD - During the second
stage of the Self-Test, SGTEL-168 will check the operational status of the
high voltage (HV) supply board. If a problem is sensed, system will halt
and status message will be displayed. If no problem is found, self-test will
continue with next step.
3)
SAFETY INTERLOCK STATUS CHECK - The last stage of the Self-Test will check
for a closed loop (short circuit) across the safety interlock port. If an open
circuit is sensed, system will halt until safety interlock has been replaced. If
short circuit is sensed, self-test will be completed.
After successful completion of the self-test, you will be given the option of
entering the “Quick Menu” (see section 6.4) or the “Surge Menu” (see section
6.2).
