If you press any key on the keypad within the test screen a drop-down menu will appear on the top of the
screen displayed as follows:
The drop-down menu will display Mode, File, Meter, and System. The output mode and test le name will also
be displayed on this screen (marked in the red box) on the image above. Each selection on the menu bar is
associated with a number. Use the numeric keypad and press the number for the menu that you would like to
enter.
4.2 System
The system parameters change the overall operation of the AC power source. If you elect to edit the
system parameters this will apply a universal change to every test le for the AC power source. You cannot
independently change these settings from one test le to another. Descriptions of all System Parameters are
listed in the following table:
System Parameter Setting/
Range
Description
PLC Remote
OFF
ON
VERIFY
Allows you to initiate a test through the SIGNAL INPUT on the rear panel of the power
source.
If PLC Remote = OFF, the test must be initiated via the front panel TEST button.
If PLC Remote = ON the front panel TEST button is disabled and a test can only be
started through the rear panel SIGNAL INPUT. Upon selection of a test file the power
source will start outputting.
Make sure to secure all test connections before using
this function. Take all other safety precautions to
avoid accidental contact with the outputs.
If PLC Remote = VERIFY, you must select a test file. The power source will only load the
file, requiring you to start the test. This adds an extra step to verify that you want to start
the test.
