Chapter 4 Operating Instructions
Use and Function of Controls
The Models 8655B and 8656B loads have no operating controls, other than the
ON/OFF switch; therefore, they do not require an operator in attendance.
Initial Adjustments and Control Settings
There are no adjustments or settings required beyond confirming that the
cooling system contains an adequate level of coolant for proper operation. See
“Coolant” on page 9.
Equipment Startup
1. Ensure the coolant level is adequate. See “Coolant” on page 9.
2. Verify fan operation. See “Blower Fans” on page 10.
3. Turn interlock supply on.
4. Turn on 115V or 230V power.
5. Apply RF to the load.
CAUTION
Do not operate the load without proper coolant levels. Operation without sufficient
coolant can damage the unit.
CAUTION
Do not operate the load without connecting the interlock. Even momentary
application of power to the load while the cooling circulation is off, or
possibly functioning improperly, will cause almost immediate destruction of
the resistor element.
CAUTION
Do not apply more than the rated RF power to the load. Excessive RF power
will damage the load resistor.
CAUTION
Do not block air flow. Air enters the housing through the grille openings and
exhausts through the circular fan openings.
