4.5.4 Pulse Control Mode
The pulse control mode is recommended for troubleshooting
(locating the point of flashover).
Breaking current I
MAX
is set to a fixed value of approximately
125 mA for the 204HP and 5 mA for the 204HV in the pulse
control mode. If this value is exceeded, test voltage is switched
off within 0.5 ms. After approximately 0.6 s, test voltage is
increased from 0 to the selected maximum value within a period
of 0.2 s, or is switched off again if breaking current is exceeded.
➭ Set I
MAX
to >>>>>>> for selection of the pulse control mode
(see chapter 4.5.2, page 37).
➭ If continuous operation is required, set test duration to >>>>>>>
as well (see chapter 4.5.2, page 37).
4.5.5 Ending the Voltage Test
➭ Release the triggers at the high-voltage pistols.
➭ Press the MENU key.
➭ The signal lamps switch from red to green.
➭ If the test system is left unattended, it must be switched to the
“out of service” mode (signal lamps off).
➭ Turn the key switch to the “0” positions and remove the key.
