6.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 Introduction
Because the Swift-E and Swift-E+ Load Bank was designed with simplicity in mind, the
hardware is easy to maintain and use.
The Swift-E and Swift-E+ Load Banks have discrete load steps to increase the applied
load as desired.
In this section, you will find:
— How to properly handle the unit.
— How to start the load bank.
— How to apply a load using the equipment.
6.2 Basic Operations
Prior to operating the Swift-E Load Bank, ensure that the unit is wired properly based on
the instructions from "5.2 Load Bank Placement" on page 11 as well as "2.2 Instruc-
tion Placards" on page 6 for the placard with wiring directions.

Startup
1. When wired appropriately, the unit is ready to apply a load to a
test source. To perform this task, using the toggle switch, select
the input value in the Meter Range section of the Swift-E and
Swift-E+ nameplate. The values are either 120V or 240V.
2. Flip the toggle switch to "On" for the Fan/Control selection. If the
system is operating properly, you will hear the fans start and the
Datakom monitoring pan-
el will illuminate.
Applying a Load
1. Flip the toggle switch
under "Master" to "On."
This will allow the user to
begin applying load to the
source as each load step is activated.
2. Activate each load step by powering
the desired watts to "On." This step,
if done while the "Master" switch is
activated, will apply the load instant-
ly. For example, while the "Master"
switch is activated, powering 250W
then 500W will apply 250W to the
load with 500W being added for a
total of 750W.
3. Using the digital meter (Figure 3), you
can monitor the voltage, amps, and
frequency (Hz) of the load.
Note: The load bank meter will start displaying values at 6A.
Note: If you wish to have the
entire load applied at once,
rather than in sequential steps,
set those load steps first, then
activate the "Master" switch.
