16. Start/Reset. Press to start the timer after test voltage has been reached. Press again to reset the timer to the original setting. 17. HV Off Bypass. Press to allow high voltage to remain on after timer has expired. Indicator lights when depressed. 18. Timer. Select desired test time using buttons on face of timer. See manual attachment. 6CP30/15-3...
Be sure that the Measurement Divider switch on the control panel is set to match the high voltage connection being made. 3. Check that control circuit breaker is turned off and connect input main power cable to a suitable grounded receptacle Brief connection instructions and diagram are on following pages. 6CP30/15-3...

6. No output voltage from high voltage section? - Defective metering circuit. - No input to voltage regulator section, possible problems with K3 contacts, variable transformer, or with CB1. - Shorted high voltage output. - Defective high voltage output transformer. - Defective TX1 cable or connector. 6CP30/15-3...
1. The equipment should be covered and kept in a warm, dry environment (95% maximum humidity, 5 to 50 degrees C). 2. In no case should the test unit be stored outdoors, unless previously specified in the original purchase agreement. 6CP30/15-3...
When your purchase order is received at our office, a representative of Phenix Technologies will contact you to confirm the current price of the part being ordered. If a part you order has been replaced with a new or improved part, an Applications Engineer will contact you concerning any change in part number.
If the unit will be operated at an isolated site for an extended period or will be subjected to unusual stresses, a larger quantity of parts should be stocked as spares. In such a case, contact your Phenix Technologies' sales representative for a recommendation.
Reason for Return Cause of Defect If Phenix Technologies, Inc. deems return of the part appropriate; it will then issue an "Authorization for Return". If return is not deemed advisable, other inspection arrangements will be made.
