This mode is selected through the MODE switch (refer to
). This mode operation is
similar to the ON/OFF basic mode, but a timer stops the AC switch/Load instead of pushing a button.
When you push the AC switch/Load button (Tx) ON, the
development board waits for the next
ZVS, lights ON the corresponding LED (LEDx) and then activates the corresponding AC switch gate (Gx).
The AC switch/load is stopped after the timer (“OnTime” duration) has elapsed: the gate is deactivated and the
LED is switched OFF.
By default, the gate command is a pulsed signal with a duration equal to “tp” value. You can modify this gate ON
duration by pushing on the “TP+” button (to increase ON time) or “TP-” button (to decrease ON time). The gate
command becomes a DC signal when “tp” value has reached the half-period. You can also modify the timer
duration “OnTime” by pushing on the “Power Time +” button (to increase timer duration) or “Power Time -” button
(to decrease timer duration).
All parameters (range, default value, unit, step, etc.) used to configure the load control for this mode are
described in
. For more details regarding the hardware components used for this mode,
