Testing
This section describes how the MegaPulse 1.2x50-12.3PF-1 500ohm 0.5J tester is used to conduct a test.
The test can be stopped immediately at any time by turning OFF the rear-panel power switch.
1.
Connect the tester to a proper source of supply using the included 18 AWG power supply cord.
2. Plug the Output and Return test leads into the jacks on the front panel.
3.
Connect the ends of the test leads to the equipment under test.
4. Turn the Tester on.
5. Note that the Voltage meter may indicate that some residual voltage is present on the main storage
capacitor, even when the tester is first turned ON. This is due to inherent charging of the internal
capacitors. Pressing the
TRIGGER switch will discharge the capacitors (be sure not to touch the
output and return leads when pressing the trigger switch).
6. Adjust the digital VOLTAGE knob to the desire value. CAUTION: DO NOT SET THE
VOLTAGE ABOVE THE VALUES SPECIFIED IN Table 5. DOING SO MAY DAMAGE
