To check the rated voltages of the power supply
The following procedures check to ensure that the power supply develops its
rated voltage outputs with no load and properly responds to operation from
the front panel.
For each step, use the keys shown on the left margins.
1 Turn on the power supply.
The power supply will go into the power-on / reset state; all outputs are disabled
(the OFF annunciator turns on); the display is selected for the +6V supply (the
+6V annunciator turns on); and the knob is selected for voltage control.
2 Enable the outputs.
The OFF annunciator turns off and the +6V and CV annunciator s are lit. The
blinking digit can be adjusted by turning the knob. Notice that the display is
in the meter mode. "Meter mode" means that the display shows the actual
output voltage and current.
3 Check that the front-panel voltmeter properly responds to knob
control for +6V supply.
Turn the knob clockwise or counter clockwise to check that the voltmeter
responds to knob control and the ammeter indicates nearly zero.
4 Ensure that the voltage can be adjusted from zero to the maximum
rated value. 1
Adjust the knob until the voltmeter indicates 0 volts and then adjust the knob
until the voltmeter indicates 6.0 volts.
1You can use the resolution selection keys to move the blinking digit to the right or
left when setting the voltage.
