Explanation

6.

Press 5, Enter

VOLT:PROT 5

Programs the OVP to 5 volts, which is less than

 

 

 

the previously set output voltage.

 

 

0.449V 0.145A

Because the OVP voltage entered was less than

 

 

 

the output voltage, the OVP circuit tripped. The

 

 

 

output dropped to zero, CV turned off, and Prot

 

 

 

turned on.

7.

Press Shift, OV,

VOLT:PROT <22>

Programs the OVP to a value greater than the

 

<2, 2>, Enter

 

output voltage setting of the unit. This prevents

 

 

 

the OV circuit from tripping again when the

 

 

 

protection condition is cleared.

8.

Press Shift, Prot Clear

<20.003V>

Clears the protection condition, thus restoring

 

 

0.0034A

the output of the unit. Prot turns off and CV

 

 

 

turns on.

9.Press Output on/off

10.Connect a jumper wire across the + and - output terminals.

Turn the output off.

Shorts the output of the unit.

11.

Press Output on/off.

0.0005V

The CC annunciator is on, indicating that the

 

 

<0.5005>A

unit is in constant current mode. The unit is

 

 

 

 

sourcing output current at 10% of the maximum

 

 

 

 

rating (the default output current limit setting).

12.

Press Current, <5>,

0.0452V

Programs the output current to the selected

 

Enter.

<5.002>A

amperes.

13.

Press Shift, OCP

0.0005V

0.0003A

You enabled the overcurrent protection circuit.

 

 

 

 

The circuit then tripped because the unit was

 

 

 

 

operating in constant current mode. The CC

 

 

 

 

annunciator turns off and the OCP and Prot

 

 

 

 

annunciators come on.

14.

Press Shift, OCP

0.0005V

0.0003A

You have disabled the overcurrent protection

 

 

 

 

circuit. The OCP annunciator turns off.

15.

Press Shift, Prot Clear

0.0452V

Restores the output. The Prot annunciator turns

 

 

<5.002A>

off. CC is on.

16.

Turn the unit off and

 

 

The next time the unit turns on it will be

 

remove the shorting wire

 

 

restored to the *RST or factory default state.

 

from the output terminals.
