Display Functions
78. The Generation3 Grinders feature a display screen with a backlight. This is a new feature that greatly
enhances the user experience in that the operator knows what the machine is doing, taking a lot of the guess
work out of the job.
79. There are 3 things the meter measures.
a. Voltage
b. Amps Draw
c. Hours Run
80. When you first plug the machine in, the display will be similar to the “READY” screen below.
81. This Screen shows the voltage of the supply and also the hours that machine has been running for.
82. When you start to use the machine the “RUNNING” display will show. This screen shows the Voltage and the
amps while the machine is in operation. The bottom line shows the LOAD as a percentage of motor power
available. Running the machine over 100% for extended periods will result in the overload tripping to protect
the machine.
83. With the HVA meter on the satellite it is now possible to check a lot of the things your electrician will check if
there are power issues. Common problems that can be identified are;
a. Voltage drop when under load due too long or under size extension leads. This often causes the
Amps to increase in proportion to the voltage loss.
b. High amps when voltage is still within 10% of normal. Caused by high load jobs like aggressive
diamonds or when polishing.
84. Hours run is only counted when machine is being used (over 0.5 Amps) and counted with accuracy of two
decimal places
a. The first decimal place is a 10 th of an hour being 6 minutes
b. The second decimal place is a 10 th of 6 minutes being 36 seconds.
