5Adjust the knob for the desired output voltage. 1

Check that the Limit annunciator still blinks. Set the knob for voltage control. The second digit of the voltmeter will be blinking. Change the blinking digit using the resolution selection keys and adjust the knob to the desired output voltage.

6Return to the meter mode.

Press the Display Limit key or let the display time-out after several seconds to return to the meter mode. Notice that the Limit annunciator turns off and the display shows "OUTPUT OFF" message.

7Enable the outputs

The OFF annunciator turns off and the 15V or 30V, OVP, OCP, and CV annunciators are lit. Notice that the display is in the meter mode. In the meter mode, the display shows the actual output voltage and current.

8Verify that the power supply is in the constant voltage mode.

If you operate the power supply in the constant voltage (CV) mode, verify that CV annunciator is lit. If the CC annunciator is lit, choose a higher current limit.

During actual CV operation, if a load change causes the current limit to be exceeded, the power supply will automatically crossover to constant current mode at the preset current limit and the output voltage will drop proportionately.

1You can use the resolution selection keys to move the blinking digit to the right or left when setting voltage.
