VOLT REF  The three program options are INT, EXT and RPV. The INT is 
selected for the normal internal reference for program voltage 
and frequency. EXT is selected to enable the external signal 
input. The signal input can be any waveform from 0 to 5.00 
Vrms for a 0 to full-scale Vrms output. The RPV mode is the 
external gain control. A 0 to 7.07 VDC input will control the 
programmed output waveform from 0 to full-scale Vrms.   
NO. OUTPUT  This allows the number of output phases to be toggled between 
single and three-phase mode. In single-phase mode, all power 
from all three outputs is in phase. The three outputs must be 
wired together. All programming is for the Phase A function in 
the 1-phase mode.

Figure 3-29: INITIAL SETUP menus 
Any time the AC source is powered up, the output will reflect the values stored as the INITIAL 
setup values. This allows the unit to be powered up in a known state at all times. The INITIAL 
values can be set in the INITIAL SETUP menus. 
The initial setup can be used to power up the AC source with the output on and a high voltage 
present at the output. For normal situations, this is not recommended due to the potential 
danger to the operator. It is recommended that the initial voltage be set low and/or the output 
relay be programmed to OFF for most situations. 
The following fields are provided in the INITIAL SETUP menus: 
Entry Description 
 
INITIAL SETUP 1 
VOLTAGE  Sets the power-on AC voltage for AC and AC+DC modes or the 
DC voltage for DC mode. 
CURR LIMIT  Sets the power-on current limit value. 
FREQ  Sets the power-on frequency value. 
PHASE  Sets the power-on frequency for phase A with respect to an 
external sync signal. If the internal oscillator is used (default) 
this setting has no effect. 
INITIAL SETUP 2 
VOLT RANGE  Sets the power-on voltage range value. The available choices 
are determined by the VOLT PAIR selected in the 
VOLTAGE/CURRENT CONTROL SETUP menu.
