6.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

6.1  Introduction

The load bank was designed with simplicity in mind. The hardware is simple to use and 

easy to maintain.
Using a hand-held interface, the load bank can apply a desired load to a target device.
In this section, you will find:

 

An overview of the load bank’s HMI.

 

How to properly handle the load bank.

 

How to start the load bank, apply a load, and shut down the load bank.

6.2  Overview of Load Bank HMI Software

In order to apply a load using the load bank, you must use the hand-held HMI 

touchscreen. The HMI is loaded with a number of important features to complete your 

desired tasks. It is advised to fully understand the screens of the HMI software fully 

before starting using the equipment. See Figure 2 Screen Explanation and the related 

Table 2 for a breakdown of the main screen.
