RMO500 Getting Started
6.7 Duty Cycles
During tests, RMO500 generates a high DC current that heats up the test set. To
prevent RMO500 from overheating, certain duty cycles apply depending on the
used test current.

A built-in control prevents these cooling times from being skipped. If you try to
start a test within the cooling period, the display shows "Wait" and a timer counting
down. After the cooling period has elapsed, start the test using the set test
parameters by pressing the
Ω
button.Cooling of RMO500 is supported by a built-in
fan that is automatically activated every time a test is started from the
Test
menu. It
continues running 5 minutes after the test is finished.
