– VOLTAGE knob

Voltage function: Adjusts the output voltage, the over-voltage protection level,

 

 

and the under-voltage limit. If over-voltage protection or under-voltage limits have

 

 

been set, you cannot program the output voltage outside those limits.

 

 

GPIB address: Selects the GPIB address when REM is pressed and held.

2

– CV indicator

When lit, indicates that the unit is operating in constant voltage mode – with the

 

 

output voltage being held constant.

 

 

 

 

3

– DC VOLTS display

LED display that normally displays the voltage measured at the sense terminals.

 

 

When LIMIT is pressed, the display indicates the programmed voltage setting.

 

 

When OVP/UVL is pressed, the display indicates either the OVP or UVL setting.

 

 

When REM is pressed and held, the display indicates the GPIB address.

4

– DC AMPS display

LED display that normally displays the current measured at the output terminals.

 

 

When LIMIT is pressed, the display indicates the programmed current setting.

5

– CC indicator

When lit, indicates that the unit is operating in constant current mode – with the

 

 

output current being held constant.

– CURRENT knob

Adjusts the output current.

 

 

 

 

 

7

– OUT ON button

Output function: Press OUT ON to turn the output on or off. Press OUT ON to

 

 

reset and turn the output on after an OVP or OCP event has occurred.

Start-up function: Selects between Safe-Start and Auto-Restart modes. Press and hold the OUT ON button to toggle between Safe-Start and Auto-Restart. The display cycles between SAF and AU7. Releasing the OUT ON button while one of the modes is displayed selects that mode.

8 – OUT ON indicator When lit, indicates that the output is enabled or on.
