10. SETTING PEAK HOLD:
Peak Hold can only be displayed in
Automatic Mode. To engage Peak
Hold, press and release the Manual
Push Button. Once Peak Hold is
engaged, the letter “P” is displayed in
the Upper Display to the left of the
Current Reading. Peak hold records
the highest current read by the
Pulsar
™ . To exit peak hold and
resume monitoring amperage real
time, press and release the Manual button.
NOTE: Whenever Peak Hold mode is exited, the peak amperage
resets to Zero.
11. CURRENT PULSING:
Current Pulsing also known as
“PULSAR
™ ” mode, is an automatic
pulsing cycle engaged when excessive
current is drawn from the circuit.
Excessive current is determined by the
PULSAR’s
™ AMP LIMIT setting. The
AMP limit setting is selected from 1
through 50 amps by the user. The
Pulsar’s onboard computer sees any
current draw over the limit as a short or
overloaded circuit. When this condition is found, power is immediately
removed from the circuit. The PULSAR
™ attempts to reapply power to
the circuit every 3 seconds (pulsing). Once the source of the overload is
removed, the PULSAR
™ resumes supplying power while monitoring the
circuit.
TIP: The Pulsing function is an automatic feature of the PULSAR ™
which is necessary to prevent damage from occurring to wiring
and equipment within the circuit. To avoid pulsing, increase the
amp limit setting. Manual mode does not prevent pulsing.
DANGER: DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM SUGGESTED AMP RATING
FOR THE CIRCUIT BEING TESTED.
NOTE: The Top display screen shows “PULS” when power has
been automatically removed and the PULSAR
™ begins pulsing the
power every 3 seconds. Once the source of the overload or short
circuit is removed, the PULSAR
™ resumes supplying constant
current while monitoring the circuit’s condition.
