CONTROLS - ELECTRICAL
CURRENT CONTROL/RED PILOT LIGHT
This is the main switch, located next to the ammeter on the front panel. With the current
control in any position other than "Off", the red pilot light will glow indicating that the unit is
ready for operation. Current values will be indicated by the
ammeter reading when the external magnetizing circuit (loop) is complete.
OVERLOAD CIRCUITBREAKER
This control is located within the unit and is an automatic resetting type circuitbreaker. It will
interrupt the current to the transformer whenever the rated duty cycle is exceeded.
AMMETER
The ammeter, located on the front panel, registers the current flowing in the magnetizing
circuits. An automatic solid state switching circuit allows a single meter to provide accurate
current readings for both AC and half-wave DC magnetizing currents.
OUTPUT TERMINALS
Half-wave DC current is obtained by connecting the magnetizing cables to the "Common"
and "Half-Wave" connectors. AC current is obtained by connecting to the "Common" and
"A.C." connectors. Always insert and then twist cable connectors clockwise to lock in
position.
CONTROL CABLE RECEPTACLE
This receptacle is located below the current control. Twist and lock the control cable in the
receptacle.
PROD CONTROL SWITCH
Various optional prod assemblies have a control switch built into the handle. It is connected
through a 20' cable and three prong twist lock plug to the control cable receptacle. It controls
the magnetizing current through the prods.
REMOTE CONTROL CABLE SWITCH
The optional remote control switch (P/N MA7RC) is attached trough a 20' cable and activates
the unit with a push button switch. This switch is required when using cables as a coil.
