HOT SOCKET SIMULATOR (CAT# 3100-L) USER MANUAL

The enclosure on the left side of the unit contains rocker switches labeled “On/Off” and “Out/In”. The
“On/Off” switch allows the user to disengage the stepper motor should they choose to make manual
gap adjustments. The “Out/In” switch allows the user to bring the testing jaw out away from the arcing
meter stab as well as bring it back in. For a fine adjustment, one press of the rocker switch sends one
pulse for a set shaft rotation. For larger adjustments, pressing and holding the rocker switch sends a
series of pulses at rapid intervals.
Load Resistance Amps
The load current to the meter socket is selectable through a series of radio-button switches labeled
"Load Resistance Amps Selection" on the Operator Panel Touch-screen (Figure 8, below).

Available load currents are 0-100A in 5A increments, if all auxiliary loads are plugged into the unit. The
rows of this control will only show up if that auxiliary bank is installed and the safety circuit is satisfied.
Load current selection is mutually exclusive so that only one load current can be selected at a time, and
selecting a new value automatically de-selects the previous setting.
The load cycling function can be enabled during the Heating testing by pressing the top button of that
button group. “# of cycles” will determine the number of times the load is turned on and off. The
“Delay” is the time that the load is on and off (50% duty cycle).
