Page 6: An Introduction To Impulse Testing With The Megapulse P Series Tester
Section 1 An Introduction to Impulse Testing with the MegaPulse PF series tester The impulse test is designed to simulate impulse surges which occur in everyday life due to nearby lightning strikes, switching transients, and other high-frequency faults on the power distribution network. -
Page 7: Safety Techniques
Safety Techniques The high voltage circuit of the MegaPulse Antenna Surge PF can be shut off at any time by turning OFF the rear power switch. Always press TRIGGER to discharge the tester before turning OFF. The MegaPulse tester is provided with a digital VOLTAGE ADJUST knob on the front panel. This voltage setting should always confirm by pressing the VOLTAGE ADJUST knob before start any testing. - Page 8 Pressing the POLARITY switch on the front panel will not change the polarity on the Antenna Surge PF, only positive pulses can be performed, the high voltage will appear on the OUTPUT as a positive pulse relative to the RETURN jack. Note that the voltage meter may indicate that some residual voltage is present on the main storage capacitor, even when the tester is first turned ON.

Page 17: Testing
Figure 4. Waveform Measurement Setup Testing This section describes how the MegaPulse Antenna Surge PF tester is used to conduct a test. The test can be stopped immediately at any time by turning OFF the rear-panel power switch. Connect the tester to a proper source of supply using the included 18 AWG power supply cord. Plug the Output and Return test leads into the jacks on the front panel. -
Page 18: Manually Enabling The Front Panel Buttons And Disabling The Voltage Stop
Manually Enabling the Front Panel Buttons and Disabling the Voltage Stop If the MegaPulse Antenna Surge PF is displaying “OFF” on the meter when the front buttons are pressed, it means that the front panel buttons have been disabled via the TestMinder software interface. It is possible to enable them manually using the next sequence: Note: Enabling the front panel buttons manually will disable the voltage stop setting. -

Section 5 Maintenance and Calibration WARNING MAINTENANCE AND CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICING OTHER THAN CONTAINED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. Introduction This section of the manual contains maintenance information for the MegaPulse Antenna Surge PF impulse tester. -
Page 21: Calibration Information
The calibration procedure should be performed at an ambient temperature of 23°C ±5°C (73.4°F ±9°F). The procedure consists on internal components tolerance verification and calibrating the meter reading to agree with the capacitor bank. The Calibration procedure must be performed by qualified personnel, for more information contact Compliance West USA.
