Notes：
In order to prevent static electricity, the tester must be connected to ground
before testing.
Please note personal and equipments safety while equipment outputs large
current.
Avoid short circuit or connecting load while testing.
Avoid external voltage and current being added at the output of equipments.
Avoid the equipment being wet by rain.
Connect the cables right.
Check if the three phase power is complete.
The output model should match with control software.
No danger exists when A, B power supplies are open circuit.
It continues working after over-hot recovery.
The output of serial connection is suitable for loaded voltage above 4V, and
when the loaded voltage is below 4V, serial connection is prohibited.
Over-loaded alarm exists when connecting in parallel.
The tester is working when it is overloaded in single circuit or parallel
connection, but the output time is less than 20 seconds. Meanwhile, user
should contact the manufacture.
Control huge current output time to improve accuracy of output current.
Cooling time should be guaranteed to assure the each output accuracy.
The DC current values are only for reference.
Contact manufacturer timely and do not repair it when device works
abnormally.

5.1 Manual test
This unit can put out current of 4000A at maximum, which can control current amplitude
and output time manually and test opening time.
This is the operation interface:
Connect the cables as followings:
14

TD4000A Hardware User Manual
Set current and time, and output time will be shown real-timely after run. Iout
and Uout will be shown which are the real output current and voltage.
The set current will be put out by pushing RUN button and it stops output when
getting to the set time. If there is over load, the overheat lamp will give a signal
and the system will stop output. There is a period of cooling time which is
connected with the present current output time and maximum time is 120s.
After cooling, it can go to next output. The equipment needs 30s cooling time
after power on, and it counts from current output until that the binary receives
signal flip recording actions time.
Notes:
The cooling time means the minimum cooling time for the equipment normal
working. It is advisable that the real cooling time is 2-3 times longer than display
cooling time between two current outputs which can improve stability and precision
of the device. The following is the same.
