Local Operation

Introduction

Once you have installed the power supply and connected both the AC input power and the load (covered in “Installation” on page 2–1), the power supply is ready for local operation. To turn the power supply on, see “Powering the Power Supply On/Off” on page 2–8.

Configuring Settings from the Front Panel

Using the 9-Position Mode Control

The 9-position mode control is used with the rotary Adjust/Enter control to configure settings in local operation. See Figure 1-2, “Front Panel Display and Controls” on page 1–5 for location of the front panel features.

Using the 9-position mode control, select one of nine modes: VOLTS, AMPS, FLD, PRT, SAV, RCL, CAP, and VAP. See Figure 3-1 and Table 3-1 for detailed information on the nine modes.

Figure 3-19-Position Mode Control

Using the Rotary Adjust/Enter Control

The rotary Adjust/Enter control is used to change settings and set the value selected. The front panel displays information on the output voltage and output current displays. Each display has a maximum of four characters that are made up of 7 segments.
