ITEM NAME FUNCTION
1 VOLTAGE Adjust Knob
Adjust the digital voltage set point in the tester.
Press the voltage knob to display the voltage set point. This setting will blink for a few seconds on the front meter.
Turn Clockwise to increase the Voltage Setting Point before pressing
CHARGE button.
2 POLARITY switch
Toggles the output pulse polarity from Normal to Reverse, Normal for positive and Reverse for Negative, The pulse will appear on the
Output jack relative to the return jack
The polarity switch only operates when the
CHARGE indicator is lit and the voltage on the display meter is less than 180V. The polarity
is normal when the NOR indicator is lit and reverse when the REV indicator is lid.
3 NOR REV indicator
Indicates the state of the Output Polarity switch.
NOR indicates Normal (Positive) position.
REV indicates Reverse (Negative) position.
4 CHARGE switch
Starts the charge process of the tester capacitor.
The
CHARGE indicator will turn off after the CHARGE switch is pressed, and the TRIGGER indicator will turn on.
The charge process will stop after 2 minutes if the TRIGGER button is not pressed.
5 CHARGE indicator
This Yellow indicator is lit to show that pressing the CHARGE switch is the next logical step in a test sequence.
CHARGE indicator is lit when the tester is turn ON an after pressing TRIGGER button.
CHARGE indicator will go out after pressing CHARGE button.
CHARGE and TRIGGER Indicators will be blinking if the Interlock Switch is open. (Only testers with Interlock Switch Option)
6 TRIGGER switch
Triggers the output impulse waveform.
The impulse waveform will appear across the output leads.
7 TRIGGER indicator
This Red indicator is lit to show that the tester can be triggered.
TRIGGER indicator is lit for 2 minutes after the CHARGE button is pressed.
TRIGGER indicator will go out after pressing TRIGGER button.
8 VOLTAGE meter
Displays the output voltage set point.
The voltage reading will increase from zero to the voltage set point when the CHARGE button is pressed.
The meter will start to flash at
900V to indicate that voltage is in the maximum limits.
If unit includes PC Interface and the Keyboard is locked, the display will show OFF when a button is pressed.
9 OUTPUT jack
The impulse waveform appears on the OUTPUT jack, referenced to the RETURN jack. When the POLARITY switch is in the Normal
position ( NOR indicator is lit) the output will be a positive pulse. When the POLARITY switch is in the Reverse position ( REV indicator
is lit) the output will be a negative pulse.
10 RETURN jack
This is the return for the impulse waveform. This jack is referenced to the chassis of the MegaPulse and is referenced to earth ground as
long as the MegaPulse is properly grounded. Even though this jack is referenced to ground, it should be treated as hazardous whenever
the MegaPulse is turned ON.
