SECTION 1: DANGER - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1-1
WARNING!!!
Complete Grounding of this unit is necessary for the
safe operation of this equipment. Disconnect inputs
before ungrounding this equipment

SECTION 1: DANGER - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1-2
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This equipment is capable of providing POTENTIALLY LETHAL VOLTAGES! Improper operation
or test practices may result in injury or death to the operator or surrounding personnel.
The operation of High Voltage test equipment should only be performed by personnel familiar with
HIGH VOLTAGE testing and safety procedures. The operator of this equipment must be aware of
all hazards associated with High Voltage testing. The operator is responsible for himself and
others in close proximity of the testing area.
Some General Safety Practices for working with High Voltage Test Equipment have been listed
below for your reference.
 Become familiar with your instrument before performing an actual test.
 Know your work area, check that all circuits are de-energized and locked out.
 Never work alone; always work with another qualified worker.
 Mark off entire work area with barriers and warning tape.
 Make all personnel aware of your testing activities.
 Be aware of dangerous conditions that may arise from energizing a test specimen.
 Never modify test equipment; modifications to equipment could introduce an unknown
hazard or hinder a designed-in safety feature.
 DO NOT operate damaged equipment. Remove power, and do not use the equipment
until safe operation can be verified by service-trained personnel.
Phenix Technologies, Inc. assumes no liability for unsafe or improper use of test equipment.

2. Main Power Circuit Breaker
This is the main circuit breaker for the system. It provides a input overload protection for the
system and functions as the main on/off switch for the unit.
3. CON101 Main Input Power Connection
This connector is used to provide power to the system. Connect the provided input power cable
to test facility power.
4. CON102 TO HV TRANSFORMER

5. TX1
Connection for metering interconnect cable. This is the metering and return connection. Do not
attempt to operate high voltage unit without this cable connected at both ends.
6. Security/Warning Circuit
Security Circuit - Provided for user connection of external interlock or auxiliary safety control
device such as emergency off switch, gate switch, foot switch, dead man switch, etc. Included
plug has shorting jumper installed to complete circuit. Jumper must be removed, and cable
connected to user supplied device by user if desired to use this provision. Only non-energized
switch or dry relay contact devices may be used. This is a series circuit that must remain closed
for high voltage to be activated.
Warning Circuit – Provides power to external warning light circuits. Voltage is provided to
different pins depending if HV is no or not. Reference included schematic to see what pins are
powered. Unit can be operated without use of this feature.
Security circuit and warning light accessories are available from Phenix Technologies that use
this connector. The accessories are able to be “daisy chained” together so that multiple
accessories can be used at once. The available accessories include flashing lights, foot
switches, and Green\Red-light pole with E-Stop switch.
7. Emergency Stop switch
Press under emergency conditions. Output will turn off. Button will stay down when pressed,
twist to release.
8. HV ON switch/lamp
Momentary switch turns high voltage on when pressed. HV ON lamp illuminates red when high
voltage is on.
9. HV OFF switch/lamp
Momentary switch turns high voltage off when pressed. HV Off lamp illuminates green when all
pre-conditions required for high voltage activation are met.
Conditions required for HV Off lamp illumination are:
·Power applied to unit and Main Power Breaker on, HMI illuminated.
·External Interlock circuit series loop must not be open.
·Emergency Off must not be pressed.
·Regulator position must be at zero. (Zero Start.)
·Overloads (if any) must be reset.
10. External USB Port
This standard female USB port allows for (optional) external data logging via USB drive. A
device must first be connected before data logging can be enabled. CAUTION: This port is not
isolated and requires the use of an external isolator if connection is made to a device with an
earth ground.
11. Infinity Dial
This dial is used to manually control the regulator voltage by controlling the regulator swing arm
when the manual test mode is selected. It is speed sensitive and has no physical stop-limit.
Rotate counterclockwise to decrease the voltage output, and clockwise to increase the voltage
output.
12. Human Machine Interface (HMI)
This touchscreen display controls status and test parameter information.

13. Capacitive Preload Switch
Used to allow full voltage when HV transformer is lightly loaded (<3kVAr). This cannot be
switched with high voltage on. Push-to-Turn feature will open the main contactor and turn HV off
if switching is attempted while HV is on.

SECTION 5: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 5-1
HMI CONTROLS
This system is equipped with an embedded controller and resistive touch screen that functions as the
HMI (Human-Machine Interface). The touch screen is used mainly to set up test parameters and display
test readings. It is also used for calibration and troubleshooting. A menu style interface with touch buttons
is used to navigate the HMI. This manual section will describe each of the screens of the HMI.

SECTION 5: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 5-2
HMI CONTROLS: MAIN SCREEN
The main screen displays voltage and current reading, unit status, and dwell timer values. This is the
main operating screen of the device.
MAIN SCREEN (STANDBY STATE)
1. Status Bar
Indicates the main status message of the unit. There are three types of states that the unit can be
in. These are state Standby, Fault, Energized. Refer to the HMI CONTROLS: STATUS BAR
subsection for detailed message information.
2. ABORT TEST button
When pressed during test, unit automatically returns regulator to zero position and then shuts off
high-voltage. HV off button will illuminate and test results will display on screen when high-voltage
is off. The ABORT TEST button is blue when unit is energized and is greyed out when unit is off.
3. BURN MODE button
The burn mode button label text displays the action that will occur if the button is pressed. The
button can only be pressed if the button is blue, if it is grayed out, the button is presently not
available to switch states. The button state can only be switched when the output is de-
energized. The illuminating rim indicates the present status of the burn mode (Presently shown
“ACTIVE”). Burn mode is a purchased option.
4. RESET OVERLOAD button
Resets overloads after an instantaneous voltage overload, instantaneous current overload, long-
term current overload, or thermal overload.
5. RESET TIMERS button
When press will resets only Remaining Dwell Timer while unit is energized. Resets all timers
while unit is off.
6. CONFIGURE TEST button

Value ranges are based off the selected output tap.
NOTICE: Make sure the correct Output Tap is selected before entering parameters.
CONFIG TEST SCREEN
1. Dwell Voltage
Press to set the output voltage Dwell Voltage. In Automatic mode, this is the value the unit will
automatically ramp to. In Manual mode, this is the level that will cause the dwell timer to begin
counting down. Dwell Voltage can be set between 10% and 100% of Output Tap rating.
2. Test Type
Select Automatic, Manual, or Remote (IF PURCHASED) test mode. Selected option displays in
green.
3. Configure Logging Button
Press to enter the Data Logging Screen for external logging of test data via USB. See Data Logging
Screen.
4. Data Logging Info
