After selecting a control mode and setting the limit and timed run parameters if desired, press the Run key to energize the power supply output. The power supply output will ramp up to the appropriate setpoint, while not allowing any limit parameter to be exceeded. If any limit parameter should be exceeded, then the power supply will crossover control modes, making the limit parameter the new control setpoint. The run mode display shows the controlled parameter highlighted, and will automatically change if a crossover has occurred.
To stop a run in progress, press the Run key, the Stop key, or the gray ON/OFF key. The display will change to "STOP" signifying that the output is no longer energized, and display the conditions just before the stop. To pause a run in progress, press the Pause key. The display will change to "PAUSE" signifying that the output is no longer energized, and that the run can be resumed. Pressing Run or Pause resumes the run from the previous point (i.e. for a timed run). Only a run that has been paused can be restarted. After Stopping a run, or to change parameters of a (paused) run, you must cycle the control logic off and then back on by pressing the gray ON/OFF key.
During a run, the display will show the actual values of voltage, current, power, and temperature. The time value displays elapsed time for an untimed run, or time left for a timed run. The volt- hour value displays the accumulated
Constant Voltage Operations
From the mode selection screen, select constant voltage operation by pressing the appropriate function key located to the right of the display. To get to the selection screen from an operating screen, press Exit, or cycle the control logic off and then back on by pressing the gray ON/OFF key and selecting MANUAL. The FB1000 will display the last saved values for constant voltage mode. To switch between volts/current/power and
The limit parameters are normally set to the power supply maximum values. The FB1000 will not accept a limit parameter outside of the allowed range.
In addition, the FB1000 will never exceed the maximum power output specification of 250W.
Constant Current Operations
From the mode selection screen, select constant current operation by pressing the appropriate function key located to the right of the display. To get to the selection screen from an operating screen, press Exit, or cycle the control logic off and then back on by pressing the gray ON/OFF key and selecting MANUAL.
