10.2 The Hi-Pot Tester must have an automatic ramp-up to the test voltage and an automatic ramp-down to zero voltage. Note: If the Hi-Pot Tester does not have automatic ramping, then the hi-pot output must be manually increased to the test voltage and then manually reduced to zero. This procedure must be followed for each machine to be tested.
11.2 Deceleration Trimpot (DECEL) – The DECEL Trimpot controls the amount of FIGURE 15 DECEL TRIMPOT RANGE ramp-down time when the Main Speed Potentiometer is adjusted to a lower speed. The DECEL Trimpot has been factory set to 2 seconds, which is the amount of time it will take for the motor to decelerate from full speed to zero speed.
Warning! If possible, do not adjust trimpots with the main power applied. If adjustments are made with the main power applied, an insulated adjustment tool must be used and safety glasses must be worn. High voltage exists in this control. Electrocution can result if caution is not exer- cised.
wired in series with the motor armature). If using an AC ammeter wired in the AC line input, the factory Current Limit setting will read 0.75 times the full load rating of the motor. Do not exceed 2 times motor current rating (maximum clockwise position). Note: On cyclical loads, it may be normal for the CL LED to momentarily flash.
Warning! If possible, do not adjust trimpots with the main power applied. If adjustments are made with the main power applied, an insulated adjustment tool must be used and safety glasses must be worn. High voltage exists in this control. Electrocution can result if caution is not exer- cised.
WARNING! Do not disconnect and reconnect the motor armature with the AC line applied or cata- strophic failure will result.
