OUTPUT ENABLE Button
The circular Output Enable (On/Off) button is located on the right hand side of the front
panel keypad. Its unique circular shape makes is easy to find so the output can be turned off
quickly if needed.
6.2.1
OUTPUT State Indication
The state of the output is indicated by the back light color of the Output On/Off button. A
blue color indicates the output is OFF, a green color indicates the output is ON.
6.2.2
Output On Response Times
Turning the output ON means that any power stage that was disabled for energy
conservation purposes will be started and allowed to settle. This includes the output
inverters. Once all power stages are up and running, the output relays are closed and
whatever programmed output mode, voltage and frequency will be applied to the load. If
all stages were off – power source in sleep mode – this process can take up to 2.2 seconds.
If the output control mode is set to FAST mode however, only the inverters are ever turned
off and output can be applied within 200 msec, which is typical for older design power
source with no energy saving features or sleep mode capability.
