Precautions
1. The secondary winding of the current transformer should not have a grounding point.
2. The voltage regulator switch and output switch should be in the off position before wiring or unwiring.
3. The device should be reliably grounded before testing.
4. After testing, return to zero promptly, and avoid prolonged exposure to high voltage and high current.
◆Common Fault Maintenance
1. After turning on the power switch, the LCD shows nothing.
Solution: Check if the power input line is properly connected.
2. No voltage or current output during volt-ampere characteristic testing.
Solution: Check if the voltage regulator switch (overcurrent protection) is turned on.
3. Voltage but no current during volt-ampere characteristic testing.
Solution: Check if the test loop wires are properly connected.
4. No current output during ratio testing.
Solution: Check if the primary test wire is properly connected.
5. The voltage regulator switch trips during startup test.
Solution: Check if the transformer grounding point is disconnected.
◆LCD Contrast Adjustment
1. When the LCD display is too dark or too bright, adjust it using the potentiometer (terminal 4) on the panel.
◆Replacing Printer Paper
1. First, disconnect the power, open the printer panel, pinch both ends of the telescopic paper shaft, remove the paper roll shaft from the printer, slide the new paper roll onto the paper shaft, pinch both ends of the paper shaft, place the paper shaft back in place, release your hands, and the paper shaft will snap into the paper shaft holder. Confirm the paper shaft is securely installed.
2. Cut the paper head of the new paper roll into a triangular shape with scissors, turn on the power, press the paper feed button for 3 seconds, the printer head will rotate, then push the paper roll with the cut paper head into the paper feed slot at the bottom of the printer head, and the paper will be fed into the printer head. After a section of paper comes out from the paper exit, turn off the power, then thread the paper head through the paper exit of the front cover, and close the printer panel.
Instrument Usage Method
Volt-Ampere Characteristic Test
1. The user should appropriately select the input voltage based on the volt-ampere characteristics of the device under test. When output above 500V is needed, input 380V voltage.
2. Ground the instrument reliably.
3. Check that the current transformer has no grounding point.
4. Switch the switch "16" to the volt-ampere position.
5. Connect the instrument output and voltage measurement to the secondary side of the current transformer (as shown in Figure 2).
6. Check that the voltage regulator is at zero, turn on the "24" switch, press the reset button once, the indicator light above it will light up, at this time the microprocessor is in a waiting storage state.
7. Turn on the output switch 4, slowly rotate the voltage regulator clockwise, press the storage key when storage is needed, the indicator light above the storage key will light up, and the internal buzzer will sound. (Note: During the entire measurement process, do not turn back the voltage regulator, and the dwell time at high current should be as short as possible.)
8. Up to 20 sets of current and voltage values can be stored.
9. After storage, return the voltage regulator to zero.
10. Press the print key to print the test data and volt-ampere characteristic dot matrix diagram. The voltage axis has three ranges, selected automatically based on the maximum sampled voltage:
0—199V each grid represents 10V, 200V—499V each grid represents 25V, 500V—2000V each grid represents 50V. The current axis has two ranges, selected automatically based on the maximum sampled current.
0—7A each grid represents 0.25A, 7A—40A each grid represents 0.5A
11. Press the reset key to reset, then the test can be repeated.
12. After the test, turn off the "4" switch and "24" switch, and unplug the connecting wires.
