Adjust the voltage set point in the tester.

Turn Clockwise to increase the output voltage after the CHARGE button has been pressed.

Turn the knob fully counterclockwise (lowest voltage setting) before the start of each test, and afterthe end of each test.

Toggles the output pulse polarity from Normal to Reverse, Normal for positive and Reverse for Negative, The pulse will appear on the Output jack relative to the return jack

The polarity switch only operates when the CHARGE indicator is lit and the voltage on the display meter is less than 180V.

The polarity is Normal when the NOR indicator is lit and, Reverse when the REV indicator is lid.  

Indicates the state of the Output Polarity switch.

NOR indicates Normal (Positive) position.

REV indicates Reverse (Negative) position.

Starts the charge process of the tester capacitor.

The CHARGE indicator will turn off after the CHARGE switch is pressed, and the TRIGGER indicator will turn on.

The charge process will stop after 2 minutes if the TRIGGER button is not pressed.

This Yellow indicator is lit to show that pressing the CHARGE switch is the next logical step in a test sequence.

CHARGE indicator is lit when the tester is turn ON an after pressing TRIGGER button.

CHARGE indicator will go out after pressing CHARGE button.

CHARGE and TRIGGER Indicators will be blinking if the Interlock Switch is open. (Only testers with Interlock SwitchOption)

 Triggers the output impulse waveform.

The impulse waveform will appear across the output leads.

 This Red indicator is lit to show that the tester can be trigger.

TRIGGER indicator is lit for 2 minutes after the CHARGE button is pressed.

TRIGGER indicator will go out after pressing TRIGGER button.

TRIGGER and CHARGE Indicators will be blinking if the Interlock Switch is open (Only testers with Interlock Switch Option)

TRIGGER indicator will blink at when the Voltage. This effect will remain on until the TRIGGER switch is pressed. (Only testers with PC Interface option)

Displays the output voltage set point.

The voltage reading will increase from zero to the voltage set point when the CHARGE button is pressed. Note that the

Voltage meter may indicate that some residual voltage is present on the main storage capacitor, even when the tester is first

turned ON. This is due to inherent charging of the internal capacitors. Pressing the TRIGGER switch will discharge the capacitors. Note that the peak amplitude of the measured output waveform is proportional to the voltage that is read of the front panel of the MegaPulse, but it will always be somewhat lower. This is because the meter on the MegaPulse is measuring the voltage on the main impulse storage capacitor. This voltage will intentionally dissipate to some extent before reaching the output leads.

The meter will start to flash at 12210V to indicate that voltage is in the maximum limits.

If unit includes PC Interface and the Keyboard is locked, the display will show OFF when a button is pressed.

This voltage BNC is for reference only, waveform tolerances should not be verified in this output, it is required a capable high voltage oscilloscope probe.
