MODIFY KNOB

Use the MODIFY knob to change values and move through the menus. When the
display screen shows a flashing value, you can change it by turning the MODIFY
knob. In addition, you can use the MODIFY knob to move quickly through the menus.
Pressing the MODIFY knob once moves you up one level in the menu. Pressing it
twice quickly moves you all the way out of the menu to the output display screen.

REGULATION SWITCH

At the SETPT menu, choose one of three methods of output regulation (power,
current, or voltage) by pressing the REGULATION key until the relevant LED lights.
If you switch from one method to another while output is on, the setpoint in the new
regulation method will correspond in value to the output level selected at the time you
switched. For example, if the Pinnacle supply is regulating power and the setpoint
level is 5,000 W (voltage level is 500 V and current level is 10 A) and you select
voltage regulation, the new setpoint will be 500 V.
ON/OFF SWITCHES & LEDS
The ON and OFF keys on the remote panel turn on and off the output power. The
relevant LED lights to indicate output is on or off.

ARC LED

After the output has been turned off, this LED lights green for a predetermined time
(normally 100 ms) if the hard arc count limit was reached during the previous run.
You define this limit through a control panel or with command 9. If your unit has been
configured for signaling on every hard arc, this LED will blip for a predetermined
time (normally 100 ms) for every hard arc detected by the unit. If another hard arc is
detected before the last blip is complete, the blip pulse width will be refreshed to the
full width.

CONTROL PANEL INTERFACE

Your Pinnacle unit may have either an active front panel, which is an integrated part
of the unit, or an active remote panel, which is connected to the DISPLAY port on the
rear panel of the unit. This manual uses the term "control panel" to refer to either of
these panels since they function identically.
An active control panel has three main sections:
• ON and OFF switches at the far left of the panel
• CONTROL and REGULATION switches at the far right of the panel
• A two-line display, five soft keys, and a MODIFY knob
