Polarity Pulse Selection 

  

NOTE 

If the red  Trigger light is lit or  more than 200V remains on the internal capacitor, the polarity pulse 
selection will be automatically blocked for safety reasons. 

 

1.

 

Turn the rear-panel Power Switch ON. Positive polarity always is set by default after the unit is turned ON. 

2.

 

Press the POLARITY switch button to toggle between positive and negative. 

 

Voltage Set Point Adjustment 

 

NOTE 

If the front display shows the word “Off” when trying the adjustment, it means the front Voltage knob had 
been disabled by the testminder software. See section “Front Keyboard and Voltage Knob Enable” 

  

To adjust the Voltage Set Point: 
 

1.

 

Press the VOLTAGE Adjust knob one time to enable the adjustment mode, digits for thousands and hundreds 
will start blinking for a few seconds.  

2.

 

While digits still blinking, turn up or down the VOLTAGE Adjust knob to change the value of the blinking 
digits. 

3.

 

While digits still blinking, press again the VOLTAGE Adjust knob and the tens and unit digits will blinking 
for a few seconds.  

4.

 

While digits are blinking, turn up or down the VOLTAGE Adjust knob to change the value of the blinking 
digits. 

5.

 

After a few seconds without any change on the VOLTAGE Adjust knob, the me 

 

Charge and Trigger a Pulse 

 

The following procedure will explain how to generate a high voltage pulse with the MegaPulse unit. The Megapulse 
is capable to maintain a specific voltage charge selected by the Voltage Set Point.  
 

CAUTION 

High  voltage  generated  by  the  MegaPulse  tester  is  exposed  during  this  test.  A  risk  of  shock  exists.  
Exercise care when using the MegaPulse unit. 

 

1.

 

Confirm  the  Voltage  Set  Point  by  pressing  the  VOLTAGE  Adjust  Knob,  the  setting  will  blink  for  a  few 
seconds on the front meter. 

2.

 

If a different Voltage Set Point is need it, see section “Voltage Set Point Adjustment.”  

3.

 

Set the front panel switches depending the type of test need it. Follow the front panel directions or see Figure 
3 for the electrical diagram. 

4.

 

Push the yellow CHARGE button to start charging the internal high voltage capacitor and wait until the front 
meter reaches value set on step1 or 2. Verify the red TRIGGER indicator is now lit.  

5.

 

Once the desired voltage is reached, press the red 

TRIGGER

 button to deliver the high voltage pulse (be 

sure not to touch the output and return leads when pressing the trigger switch). 

6.

 

Turn the rear-panel Power Switch OFF.
