The following steps verify basic voltage functions with no load.
1 Turn on the power supply.
The power supply will go into the power-on / reset state; the output is disabled
(the
OFF annunciator turns on); the 8V/20A* or 25V/7A** range is select ed (the
8V * or 25V ** annunciator turns on); and the knob is selected for voltage
control.
2 Enable the outputs.
The OFF annunciator turns off and the 8V * or 25V **, OVP , OCP , and CV
annunciators are lit. The bli nki ng digit can be adjusted by turning the knob.
Notice that th e displ ay is in the meter mode. ‘‘Meter mod e’’ means that the
displ ay shows the actual output voltage and curr ent.
3 Check th at the front-panel voltmeter properly responds to knob
control for the 8V/20A* or 25V/7A ** range.
Turn the knob clockwise or counter clockwise to check that the voltmeter
responds to knob control an d the amm eter indicates nearly zero.
4 Ensu re that the voltage can be adjusted from zero to the full rated
value.
Adjust the knob until the voltmeter indicates 0 volts and then adjust the knob
until the voltm eter indicates ‘‘
8.0 volts ’’* or ‘‘ 25.0 vo l t s ’’ * *
