Figure 3-4Operating Modes

To set the voltage set point (VSET):

1.Turn the 9-position mode control to the VOLTS position or press the rotary Adjust/Enter control if the 9-position mode control is already at the VOLTS position.

The voltage set point is blinking in the output voltage display. The output current will be displayed in the output current display.

2.Set the desired voltage value using the rotary Adjust/Enter control.

Important: If you can’t get the set point to the desired level, you may need to change the set points for OVP.

3.Press the rotary Adjust/Enter control to transition to Fine Adjust mode.

The set point will blink faster to indicate fine adjust tracking mode.

4.Set the desired voltage value using the rotary Adjust/Enter control.

5.Once the desired value has been set, press the rotary Adjust/Enter control to commit the setting.
