User Manual – Rev BE    AMETEK Programmable Power 
MX Series  265 
This test requires 180-volt output voltage.  If the power source is set at the low 
voltage range, the high voltage range will be selected before the test starts.  At 
the end of the test the AC source will be switched back to the low range. 
The output voltage will surge to 180 volts for 100 ms. followed by drop to 148 
volts for 1 sec before it returns to 115 volts. The  ← key (backspace) will 
terminate the test at any time. 
FREQUENCY TRANSIENTS (GROUP 1 ONLY)

Table 9-12: Abnormal Frequency Transient 
This test will set the voltage at 115V and will remain at this voltage through out 
the test. The test will cycle the frequency three times as shown in Table 9-12.  
Each repeat will start from sequence 2.
