System Front Panel Features

• VMPA/VMPC PWB Symbol: The front panel features a symbol representing the VMPA/VMPC Printed Wiring Board (PWB) mounted within the turbine control panel. This visual reference indicates the specific PWB being tested.
• LED Signal Indicators: LED indicators on the front panel display the presence of signals on the input and output lines of the VMPA/VMPC PWB. These LEDs illuminate to provide real-time status of signal activity, helping operators quickly identify any issues or anomalies.
• VMPA/VMPC Toggle Switch: This switch allows operators to select the specific position corresponding to the type of PWB installed in the turbine control panel under test, ensuring accurate testing aligned with the hardware configuration.
• MONITOR/FIRST FLT DET Switch: This mode selector switch enables users to toggle between MONITOR and FIRST FLT DET modes, depending on the testing or monitoring requirements.
• LAMP TEST Pushbutton: The LAMP TEST pushbutton verifies the integrity of all LED indicators. Pressing it initiates a test to check LED functionality, with illuminated LEDs remaining steady and others flashing on and off to conserve power and identify malfunctions.
• Jacks J1 and J2: These jacks have distinct sizes to prevent incorrect cable connections, serving as a safety feature to ensure proper connectivity and avoid potential errors or damage during testing and monitoring.

System Back Panel Features

• Extender Board Storage Space: The back panel includes storage space for the extender board, ensuring that this crucial accessory is readily available and preventing misplacement.
• Stand Functionality: The back panel also acts as a stand for the test module, providing a stable platform that supports the module in an upright position during use, minimizing the risk of tipping or damage.
• Operating Instructions: An abbreviated set of operating instructions is included on the back panel for quick reference, offering users a handy guide for fundamental procedures and functions of the equipment.
• User-Friendly Design: The design integrates essential components and information access, streamlining the workflow and enhancing user experience. This approach minimizes downtime and maximizes productivity.
