Chapter 3 Front-Panel Operation

Disabling the Output

Disabling the Output

The output of the power supply can be disabled or enabled from the front panel.

When the power supply is in the “Off” state, the OFF annunciator turns on and the output is disabled. The OFF annunciator turns off when the power supply returns to the “On” state. When the output is disabled, the voltage value is 0 volts and the current value is 0.02 amps.

The output state is stored in volatile memory; the output is always disabled when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.

While the output is disabled, the range selection keys, the control knob, resolution selection keys, and adjust selection key are still working. If the display is in the meter mode, you cannot see the changes of output voltage and current settings on the display when turning the knob. To see or check the changes when the outputs are disabled, the display should be in the limit mode.

Front-panel operation:

You can disable the output by pressing OutputOn/Off key. This key toggles between output “Off” and “On” states.

Remote interface operation:
