2. Ensure that the status indicator indicates that the Breaker is CLOSED.
3. Click either the START button or JOG button to initiate the test.
A. If the START button is clicked, the output will stay ON until either the operator clicks
STOP, the circuit breaker trips, or the MAX DURATION or MAX CYCLES is reached. Use
the Vernier and Tap controls to reach the desired output.
B. If the JOG button is clicked, the output will pulse ON for the ON CYCLES time. The
current-meter will read the value of the current pulse, and the timer will read the duration
in seconds or cycles, as selected by the time radio buttons. Use the Vernier and Tap
controls to reach the desired output. Pressing JOG again will initiate the output and

TESTING PROCEDURE
Only the MAX AMPS, MAX DURATION and MAX CYCLES settings affect the
output level and duration. See GENERAL SETTINGS at the beginning of this
section.
In addition to the general settings, the JOG / HOLD - ON CYCLES determine the
output duration.
Click Settings in Test Parameters. Enter the number of cycles that the output will
be energized. This should be long enough to get a good reading, but short
enough to avoid overheating. Phenix Technologies recommends a value of 7
cycles.
