2. Safety Precautions
2.1 Electrical Safety
Before connecting the power cord, verify that the supply voltage is AC 220V ±10% and the frequency is 50 Hz or 60 Hz. You must use a three-prong outlet with a protective ground, and the protective ground resistance must be ≤4 Ω. Never cut or disconnect the protective ground wire, as doing so poses a risk of electric shock.
2.2 Environmental Safety
Do not use in environments with flammable or explosive materials, strong electromagnetic interference, high temperatures and humidity, or excessive dust levels. Operating environment: Temperature 5°C to 35°C, relative humidity ≤ 65% RH.
2.3 Operating Procedures
Before connecting the wires, the power supply to the sample load must be disconnected; do not connect wires while the circuit is energized. Connect voltage leads in parallel and current leads in series; under no circumstances should a current circuit be connected to a voltage terminal or a voltage circuit to a current terminal. Pay attention to the positive and negative polarities when performing DC measurements. After connecting the wires, tighten the terminals and ensure that no bare wires are exposed to prevent short circuits or electric shock.
When measuring high-frequency signals, keep the wiring as short as possible and use thick, multi-strand wire; route the wiring away from the metal casing of the equipment to minimize interference from distributed capacitance.
3. Equipment Operation
3.1 Introduction to the Front Panel
See Figure 3-1. Note: Using the desktop software makes operation more convenient and eliminates the need to use the front panel of the device; if you need to print a test report, you must also do so through the software. If you use the software, you only need to operate the power switch and load switch on the front panel.

| ⑤ | Peak Lamp Current “Range” Button: Selects the current range when starting the test |
| ⑥ | Press the “Harmonics” key to select the function: Press this key to initiate the harmonic analysis; the analysis takes approximately 1 second. Once the analysis is complete, the total voltage harmonics are displayed in the voltage window, the total current harmonics in the current window, the THD (abbreviation for Total Harmonic Distortion) in the power window, and the SPEC (harmonic indicator) in the “Power/Order” window. Press the “Harmonics” key again to exit the harmonic analysis. |
| ⑦ | On the Harmonic Analysis screen, press the “▲” or “▼” keys to display the voltage and current harmonic components from the 0th to the 50th order. |
| ⑧ | Input Function: Select the “Wideband” button: Press this button to select the frequency response—narrowband or wideband—for input characteristic testing under steady-state conditions. When the corresponding LED is lit, the setting is wideband (45 Hz–1 MHz); when the LED is off, the setting is narrowband (45 Hz–5 kHz). |

| ⑩ | Press the “Start” button: Press this button to initiate the startup test; the corresponding indicator light will illuminate, and “STR-” will appear in the display window. At this point, turn off the load power switch. After allowing the unit to cool slightly, turn the load switch back on. The instrument will then begin data acquisition, and “STR-” will flash on and off in the display window. Once the test is complete, the corresponding parameters will be displayed. Once a test is complete, the instrument enters a standby state. To perform the next test, press the Start button again. To exit the startup test, press the Steady-State button. |
| ⑪ | Press the “Average” button. When this button is pressed, the startup test interface will display the average startup current and startup energy efficiency in the “Peak Ratio/Average/Energy Efficiency Index/Ripple” window. |
| ⑫ | Steady-State “Test” Button: After the instrument powers on, it automatically enters steady-state testing; when the instrument is in the startup test mode, pressing this button returns it to steady-state testing. |
| ⑬ | Steady-State “Average” Button: Press this button to illuminate the “Average” indicator in the current display window. At this point, the current value shown in this window represents the average current of the lamp. |
| ⑭ | Steady-state “Ripple” button: Press this button to display the ripple current (A/mA indicator lit) and the energy efficiency coefficient (% indicator lit) in the energy efficiency coefficient/ripple window. |
| ⑮ | Steady-state “Latch” key: Press this key to latch the current test data for reading and analysis. Press any key again to exit the latch mode. |

5. Daily Maintenance and Care of Equipment
5.1 Routine Maintenance
5.1.1 Daily Cleaning
Be sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord before cleaning. We recommend wiping the unit with a soft, antistatic cotton cloth and a mild detergent; do not spray liquids directly onto the unit. Do not use chemical solvents such as benzene, toluene, or acetone.
5.1.2 Routine Inspections
Before each use, check the power cord and terminal connections to ensure there are no loose connections or signs of burn damage; after turning on the unit, verify that the indicator lights and display are functioning properly.
5.2 Storage Specifications
5.2.1 Storage Environment Requirements
Temperature: 5°C to 35°C; relative humidity: ≤65% RH; dry, dust-free environment free of corrosive gases.
5.2.2 Long-Term Storage Operations
Turn off the power and unplug all cables; clean the equipment and wrap it in dust-proof film; power it on for 30 minutes each month to prevent moisture damage to the components.
5.3 Calibration Interval Requirements
To ensure the measurement accuracy and operational reliability of the equipment, it is recommended that it be sent periodically to a qualified third-party metrology laboratory for calibration. The recommended calibration interval is 12 months. Users may determine the specific calibration interval based on frequency of use, environmental conditions, and quality system requirements.
6. Troubleshooting and Resolving Common Problems
| Fault Symptoms | Possible Causes | Procedure |
| Unable to Power On | Loose input power supply cord, blown fuse | Turn off the power and check the connection of the input power supply cord; turn off the power, troubleshoot for short circuits or overloads, replace the fuse with one of the same rating, and do not increase the current rating. |
| The load still does not respond after the load power switch is turned on | Incorrect wiring polarity for the DUT or LED LOAD | Follow the troubleshooting steps in Section 3.2. Be sure to observe the correct polarity when connecting the DUT and LED LOAD terminals; failure to do so may affect load operation or even damage the equipment. |
| Communication Failure | Communication cable connection error / Driver not installed, baud rate mismatch | See Section 3.2 for troubleshooting wiring; see Section 4.1 for troubleshooting driver installation; see Section 4.2.2 for troubleshooting settings. |
