ENGAGING THE LOAD

1. After selecting the mode and setpoint (PAR 3.4), momentarily press the LOAD pushbutton to

engage the UUT, causing the load to draw current from the UUT at the level determined by
the setpoint. LOAD pushbutton illumination changes to amber and the front panel displays
show the measured parameters: voltage, current and power.

2. Rotating CONTROL with the load engaged (LOAD indicator amber) causes the controlled

parameter to increase (clockwise) or decrease (counterclockwise) in steps at the resolution
selected in PAR 3.4, step 2 above. The VOLTS, AMPS and KW displays show the measured
parameters any time the load is engaged (LOAD indicator amber).

DISENGAGING THE LOAD

With the load engaged (LOAD indicator amber), disengage the load from the UUT by momen-
