6. USING PULSAR ™ IN AUTOMATIC MODE:
Once the amperage limit has been selected, press and hold the control
knob down for 1 second and then release. (A “.”displays on the LOWER
DISPLAY indicating that the amperage setting is locked.) Once the
control knob is released, the PULSAR
™ immediately sends current
into the circuit (up to the limit setting). If a short circuit or overload is
detected, the PULSAR™ immediately cuts power (See Sec. 11 on
“Pulsing”). If an overload is not detected, the PULSAR
™ continues to
supply & read current while monitoring the circuit.
7. USING THE PULSAR ™ IN MANUAL MODE:
a. Depress the three-way rocker switch to the left to engage Manual
Mode.
b. Once Manual Mode is selected, the digital screen powers up. The
Software Version and Calibration Notice flash momentarily,
followed by a circuit voltage reading. (See “reading the display”
for additional information.)
c. Dial in the desired amperage limit.
d. Press and hold the control knob for 1 second, then release to lock
in the amperage limit.
e. To apply power, push the Momentary “Manual” Button down.
The PULSAR ™ then immediately and continuously applies power
and reads Amperage without any time delay until the momentary
button is released or until an overload condition is found. The
PULSAR™ monitors the circuit for overload or short circuit
condition while displaying the Current reading, employing all the
safeguards explained above.
f. To change Amperage Limit settings, press and release the control
knob then repeat steps “c” and “d” above.
NOTE: Peak Hold is not available in manual mode.
8. CHANGING AMPERAGE LIMIT SETTING:
To change the Amperage Limit setting, you must unlock the PULSAR™
and stop current. To unlock and stop the current, press and release the
control knob. Once this is done, power is removed from the circuit. Dial
in the desired setting and hold the control knob down for 1 second to
lock in the new setting.
9. READING CURRENT:
The PULSAR ™ displays actual current draw with a resolution of 0.1Amp.
It begins reading current once the amperage limit is set and engaged. If
a “negative symbol” is displayed to the left of the current reading, this
means the Fuse Box Adapter or Battery Clip Adapters were connected in
reverse. The “-“ (negative) denotes the direction of current.
