WARNING:Equipment is capable of delivering more than rated output power
(500W for PJ500C-LCD or 1000 W for PJ1000-LIGHT); however, never exceed
thespeciedpowerrating.
NOTE: Exciter drive power setting should never exceed 20W, or it will trigger an
Overdrive Alarm.
NOTE: If power is set to 0 W in the edit mode, the INTERLOCK OUT contact
(chap. 6.2) trips and external exciter power is immediately inhibited.
Next, you can review all operating parameters of the machine through the
managementrmware.
Normally, the machine can run unattended. Any alarm condition is handled
automatically by the safety system or is signalled by the LED indicators on the
panel or by display messages.

5.4.1 Operation Menu (Fnc)
In this menu, you can set power output On/Off, toggle between “Local” or “Remote”
control mode and set the Forward Power Good (PgD) threshold rate.
To edit an item, highlight the appropriate line using the UP and DOWN buttons and
then press and hold the ENTER button (chap. 6.1) until the command is accepted.
This way, Pwr setting is toggled between On and Off and Mod setting is toggled
between “x1” and “x10”. To edit the Power Good rate, simply select item “PgD”

that this threshold set at 50% will give 250 W and 500 W, respectively,
regardless of set power level. The Power Good feature enables output
power control and reporting. When output power drops below set Power

Alarm monitoring cycle is as follows: when an alarm condition is detected, alarm
counter increases by 1 unit, machine goes into lock-out state and the display shows
the cause for the stop (chap. 5.3.4.1). After 15 seconds, the machine attempts
to re-start; if a new alarm condition is detected, cycle is repeated over and over
again up to 10 times maximum.
If machine re-starts successfully, all alarm counters are reset after 30 minutes’
regular operation. After 10 alarm conditions triggered by the same cause, the
machine goes into fault lock-out mode, a lock-out mode warning appears on the
display and the “FAULT” LED turns on (chap. 6.1).
Afterthealarmconditionhasbeenrectied,thecountercanberesetbyhighlighting
“Reset Alm” and holding down the ENTER key for some time (chap. 6.1).
