TESTING PROCEDURE
NORMAL MODE
After performing the steps under
BASIC OPERATION
, follow the steps below to operate in Normal Mode.
1.
The menu settings that affect operation during NORMAL mode depend upon whether the START
button or JOG button is to be clicked to initiate the output.
START:
Only the MAX AMPS, MAX DURATION, and MAX CYCLES settings affect the
output level and duration. See GENERAL SETTINGS at the beginning of this
section.
JOG:
In addition to the general settings, the JOG / HOLD - ON CYCLES determine the
output duration.
Click

in
Test Parameters
. Enter the number of cycles that the output will
be energized. This should be long enough to get a good reading, but short
enough to avoid overheating. Phenix Technologies recommends a value of 7
cycles.
2.
Ensure that the breaker status indicator indicates that the Breaker is CLOSED.
3.
Click either the START button or JOG button to initiate the test.
A.
If the START button is clicked, the output will stay ON until either the operator clicks
STOP, the circuit breaker trips, or the MAX DURATION or MAX CYCLES is reached.
Use the Vernier and Tap controls to reach the desired output.
B.
If the JOG key is pressed, the output will pulse ON for the ON CYCLES time. The
current-meter will read the value of the current pulse, and the timer will read the duration
in seconds or cycles, as selected by the Time radio buttons. Use the Vernier and Tap
controls to reach the desired output. Clicking JOG again will initiate the output and
record new data. The currentmeter and timer may be reset by clicking the RESET
button.
4.
Optional
– click
Save Results
. Data is only displayed if the circuit breaker trips or if the JOG
button was pressed.
MEMORY MODE
Similar to NORMAL Mode operation, except the data is retained when the output is turned off manually.
Click RESET to clear the data.
