Bench Check Procedures
1.
Wire the regulator as shown below.
2.
Connect a 120 volt 50 to 150 watt light bulb as shown.
3.
Adjust the internal voltage pot fully CCW.
4.
Apply 120vac to the regulator at AC1 and AC2. (Fuse the AC1 input with a fuse rated at 120
volts or higher and not more than 5 amps)
5.
Observation:
The incandescent light bulb should be off.
If the incandescent light is lit or
flickering, do not continue this test!
6.
VERY SLOWLY
turn the internal voltage adjustment CW until the incandescent light bulb turns
fully on (it will be reduced brightness), then adjust the internal voltage adjustment CCW until the
light bulb is off.
7.
Observation:
You should be able to taper the incandescent light bulb on and off in a relatively
smooth manner.
If the light flashes on or off quickly (as if being switched by a light switch),
the regulator has an internal fault, do not continue this test!
8.
Remove the 120vac from the regulator.
9.
If you were able to successfully perform all of these tests, the regulator is good.
IF ANY
SINGLE STEP FAILED, THE REGULATOR IS DEFECTIVE!
