Description
START key
O.F.F. mode
RAMP mode
Starts Ramp mode if user programmed
ramp minutes does not equal zero. The
large display shows requested current from
the T3000. The requested current value is
based upon the user programmed values
of Ramp current and Ramp minutes. The
Ramp current is divided across the Ramp
minutes and is distributed in a linear
progression increasing from zero to the
user programmed value of Ramp current
just as the Ramp minutes value is reached.
For example, at 25% of elapsed time, the
current request will be at 25% of the
programmed value of Ramp current. The
small display shows alternating minute and
kilowatt values. Minute and kilowatt values
can be differentiated by the illumination of
the Kw and MIN indicators and by the
position of the decimal point (x.xx=Kw
format / xx.x=MIN format). Upon entry into
the Ramp mode, the time counts down
from the user programmed value of Ramp
minutes, measuring remaining time until
zero is reached.
