Swift-E / Swift-E+ Load Bank Manual
V. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
V-I. Startup
Before operating the Swift-E load bank, ensure that the unit is wired properly based on
the instructions from
“Wiring
the
load bank” on page
10
.
1.
When wired appropriately, the unit is ready to apply a load to a power source. Set
the Meter Range toggle switch to the appropriate input voltage (120V or 240V).
2.
Turn on the power source.
3.
Flip the toggle switch to
“On”
for the Fan/Control selection. If the system is
operating properly, you will hear the fans start and the meter will turn on.
V-II. Applying a Load
1.
Flip the toggle
switch under “Master” to “On.”
This will allow
you to begin applying load to the source as each load step is
activated.
2.
Activate each load step by switching the desired step on.
This step, if done while
the “Master”
switch is activated, will
apply the load instantly. For
example, while the “Master”
switch is activated, powering 250W then 500W will apply
750W. If you wish to conduct a block load test, turn the load
switches on before flipping the
“Master”
Switch.
3.
Using the digital meter (see
“Figure 3 Meter” on page 1
1
), you can monitor the
voltage, amps, and frequency (Hz) of the load. The meter will not display amperage
values at less than 4 amps.
V-III. Shutdown
1.
When your operation has completed, switch the “Master” and
other load toggle
switches to
“Off.”
This will remove the load from the unit. Allow the unit to run for
five minutes to cool down.
2.
Flip the toggle switch for the
“Fan/Control”
selection to
“Off.”
3.
Turn off the power source
4.
Disconnect the load bank from the power source.
5.
The unit is now off and is ready to be moved.
