3.7. Electrical Check

Turn on the MagnaLOAD electronic load using the black control power switch on the bottom left of the front panel. Immediately after turn-on, the MagnaLOAD electronic load undergoes a self-test that check control and input circuitry. The Magna-Power emblem should be displayed during this self-test along with the the word MagnaLOAD electronic load.

Note

After turning the unit on, it will take about 45 seconds for the MagnaLOAD electronic load to initialize before it is ready for use.

When self-test is complete, the Menu display should show the unit’s Standby status, the voltage meter should show whatever the DC bus voltage is, and the current meter should show 0.000. The fans should be running at a low speed.

If the self test fails, the fans do not come on, or the unit fails to come into standby, power off the MagnaLOAD electronic load off and back on with the black power switch. If you continue to have similar issues, contact Magna-Power support for further assistance.
