Once the calibration has completed, the REM test screen will appear; Select automatic (up or down) or manual (up or down) control by using the dedicated AUTO MAN key. This key is also used to set the limits. Once the SET LIMITS field is highlighted in green, use and press the rotary encoder to manipulate the UP and DOWN limits. - Page 16 EUT from overheating. If the selected ON / OFF time is above the 50% duty cycle (the Uni-Therm will calculate this automatically), the duty cycle factor appears in red. It’s not possible to continue without reducing the duty cycle. A valid duty cycle will appear in black.
- Page 17 Press the HOLD key to freeze the reading on the screen. The test can be aborted by pressing the red STOP button on the front of the Uni-Therm. After a test is completed (either PASS or FAIL) press the green START button on the front of the Uni-Therm.

(Continuous Single Test) or at a range of loads (Power Distribution Graph). The load will vary from a start value to an end value with a number of intervals (resolution). The Rigel Uni-Therm will control the EUT by using the internal footswitch controller. - Page 19 This is done to protect the EUT from overheating. Press SHOW DIAGRAM to obtain help on the connection between the Uni-Therm and the EUT.
- Page 20 The graph mode allows the user to monitor the power characteristics under a range of loads. Ensure that the power settings on the EUT do not exceed those specified in the Load Power rating Rigel Uni-Therm. Use the rotary encoder to navigate the screen. The selected field is marked with a red border, presses the rotary encoder to activate the field to allow changes.
- Page 21 During the test, the EUT is connected to the external loads and then to the measuring device of the Uni-Therm (MD). The Uni-Therm will calculate the power characteristics at the set external load by measuring the HF current through the MD.
- Page 22 ON time, the OFF time must be increased first in order to remain within the duty cycle limits. Press SHOW DIAGRAM to obtain help on the connection between the Uni-Therm and the EUT. Press START to confirm the settings and start the test.

AUTOMODE; In the following screen, an asset ID number can be entered using the rotary encoder, barcode scanner or a PS2 keyboard. When using the barcode scanner, ensure the barcode scanner is paired with the Rigel Uni-Therm, see chapter 5. (The Rigel Uni-Therm will only support the Seaward barcode scanner, p/n 339A923). - Page 24 Next, select the test Sequence box (push to select) and select the required test sequence. (To add new test sequences, see chapter 6.1). From the auto mode screen, press NEXT to start the sequence. In the example below, SEQUENCE2 will be used which was created in chapter 6.1.
- Page 25 Either press PASS or the GREEN button to continue, The next step in SEQUENCE2 is the HF leakage test; Follow the connection instructions on the main screen and press RUN to confirm and start the HF leakage test. The next step is a custom test to instruct the user to set the output power to maximum (300W) in this example.

Page 26: Stopping Or Failing A Test Sequence
Check connections and confirm by pressing START. Press the GREEN button to start the test. The Rigel Uni-Therm will now activate the EUT through the foot paddle control on the front panel. During the test, the screen will update the graph after each measurement is taken. - Page 27 Restart Test will continue the test sequence from where it was interrupted. Restart Test Sequence will start the sequence from the beginning. Next Test will skip the current test and move to the next test (note that a failure will be reported for the skipped test).
