LOAD BANK MANUAL • Saturn 3000 DV • W.O. 63798/2 • page 3 of 20

The Local Control Panel contains the
following components:

1. Louvers Open, Cooling Failure,

Over Temperature, Fan Failure,
Access Door Ajar, Louvers Closed,
Remote Control Active, Control
Power On, Normal Operation, and
Load Dump Bypassed indicator
lamps

2. Fan/Control Power switch

3. Load Bank Mode switch

4. Auto Load Dump switch

5. Load Voltage Selector switch

6. Master Load and load step

switches

7. Fan/Control Power Voltage Selec-

tor switch

The Remote Control Touch Panel is
housed in a suitcase.

This Load Bank is protected against
cooling failures (loss of cooling air flow,
high intake or exhaust air temperature
which could damage the Load Bank or
present a safety hazard to the opera-
tor). When a cooling failure occurs the
automatic safety features in the Control
System immediately remove the load
from the load source. The malfunction
must be corrected and the system must
be reset by turning the Load Bank “Off”
then “On” before the load can be re-
applied.

The Load Bank consists of three princi-
pal systems:

1. Control System

2. Cooling System
