Explanation

1

The “Fan” switch will turn the fan and unit on.

2

The “Load” switch will apply the set load to the testing source.

3

The “Vavg” is the average voltage of the load.

4

This section will designate the phase in which the load bank is running. It can be in 1Ph 

(single phase) or 3Ph (3-phase).

5

The “Available” section is how much KW is available for use.

6

The “Running” is the amount of KW load bank has attempted to apply.

7

The “Normal Operation” section will remain normal unless an error appears. Touch

-

ing here, “ERR” (Reference Number 10), or F1 will access the errors and allow you to 

address the issues.

8

The “Entry” value is the value entered that you desire for the load. When touched, a 

number pad will appear for entering values.

9

The “Metered” section is the amount of KW the load bank has applied as read from 

the on-board digital meter.

10

The “ERR” selection  will load the error tab for the HMI. If any errors are active, then 

this tab will show what is causing the errors.

11 & 12

The JG+ and JG- values are abbreviations for “Jog Up” and “Jog Down,” respectively. 

These will increase or decrease the KW entry by a value set in the setup (See Refer

-

ence 14).

13

The “MTR” (Meter) button will display the metering screen.

14

The “SHF” (Shift) button will reveal newer functions of “AJG” and “SET” on the bottom 

of the screen where the function buttons are. 

15

The “AJG” (Auto-Jog) button will allow you to set the Auto-Jog functions. By using a 

minimum and maximum value as well as setting the steps and duration to go from the 

minimum to the maximum, the auto-jog will run in a loop until stopped.

16

The “SET” button will load the setup menu. Please see “6.6.1 Setup Information” on 

page 20 for more information on the setup menu.
