SECONDS:
LCD timer. Shows
accumulated electrofishing
time since last reset.
2.
OUTPUT STATUS INDICATORS
(3):
OUTPUT ON:
Red indicator
light indicates that the output
from the unit is ON.
OUTPUT OFF:
Green indicator
light indicates that the output
from the unit is OFF.
OVERLOAD:
Red indicator
light indicates average or peak
output current overload.
3.
ELECTRODE SELECTOR:
This
switch selects the active con-
trol input(s). In either position,
both anode and both cathode
connectors will be active.
4.
INPUT VOLTAGE AC METER:
Indicates the RMS value of AC
input voltage.
5.
OUTPUT AMPS METER:
Indi-
cates output current.
6.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE METER:
Indicates the value of DC output
voltage.
7.
DUTY CYCLE CONTROL:
Selects
continuous DC mode, desired
duty cycle of standard DC
Pulses or number of burst pulses
for CPS modes.
8.
VOLTAGE OUTPUT ADJUST
CONTROL:
Output voltage
from the Model VVP-15C can be
varied from 0 Volts to Maximum
Volts of selected Range (may be
limited by load conditions and
overload protection) for all out-
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS:
puts—DC, and Pulsed DC (CPS
included).
9.
OUTPUT FREQUENCY CON-
TROL:
selects desired frequency
of DC Pulses.
The Pulsed DC output from
the unit is a rectangular pulse
voltage with a possibility of 14
preset duty cycles and 14 preset
frequencies. Each duty cycle can
be used with each frequency.
This allows for 196 standard
pulse mode options with duty
cycles between 10% and 80%
and frequencies between 5 and
120 Hz. The CPS modes have 3
pulses per burst and 6 pulses
per burst options that work in
combination with designated
frequencies (15Hz, 30Hz, 45Hz,
60Hz, 90Hz and 120Hz) for a
