To Use the Power Supply in Constant Voltage Mode
To set up the power supply for constant voltage (CV) operation, proceed as follows.
For each step, use the keys shown on the left margin.
1Connect a load to the desired output terminals.
With

2 Turn on the power supply.
The power supply will go into the

Limit | 3 Set the display to the limit mode. |

Notice that the Limit annunciator flashes, indicating that the display is in the limit mode. When the display is in the limit mode, you can see the voltage and current limit values of the power supply.
In constant voltage mode, the voltage values between the meter and limit modes are the same, but the current values are not. Moreover, if the display is in the meter mode, you cannot see the change of current limit value when adjusting the knob. We recommend that you should set the display to “limit” mode to see the change of current limit value in the constant voltage mode whenever adjusting the knob.

Check that the Limit annunciator still flashes. Set the knob for current control. The second digit of the ammeter will be flashing. The flashing digit can be changed using the resolution selection keys and the flashing digit can be adjusted by turning the knob. Adjust the knob to the desired current limit.
1You can use the resolution selection keys to move the flashing digit to the right or left when setting current.
