LCD Contrast Adjust
The user has the ability to set the contrast on the alphanumeric display. When prompted, press the
ENTER button repeatedly until the contrast of the display is ideal. Then press the CLEAR button
to exit this function.
Select Amps/Volt Or Ohms
This function refers to the constant resistance mode of operation. It allows the user to enter the
resistance setting as a proportional ratio based on the input voltage (Amps/Volt) or to enter a
numeric value directly in Ohms. When prompted, press ENTER to select this function. Enter the
number “1” to select operation as a ratio of AMPS/VOLT or select “2” to operate in OHMS.
Finish by pressing ENTER.
Check Firmware Revision
This displays the installed version of Dynaload firmware.
Programmable UV Level
The Programmable Under Voltage provides a means for having the load automatically stop
loading when the input Voltage drops below a specified threshold. If the input Voltage level
drops below the UV setting the load will disconnect from the source. A UV and MAJOR FAULT
will be indicated. The load will not reconnect until a DC LOAD ON command is issued. When
prompted, press ENTER to select the function. Then enter the numeric value using the keypad
and press ENTER.
Pulse Mode
Pulse mode loading is available in all four basic modes of operation (Constant Current, Constant
Resistance, Constant Voltage and Constant Power). Use the following steps when operating in
pulse mode:
Manual Operation
To manually operate the Dynaload, use the following procedure:
(1) Use the CI, CP, CV or CR button to set the baseline current, power, voltage, or resistance
respectively.
(2) Use the FREQ button to set the frequency.
(3) Use the DUTY CYCLE button to set the duty cycle. For applications that require the
period to be set, the
t
HI and
t
LO functions should be used. The
t
HI function will set the
time that the pulse remains at the peak setting. The
t
LO
function will set the time that the
pulse remains at the baseline setting.
