5 Adjust the knob for the desired ou tput voltage.
Check that the
Limit
annunciator still blinks. Se t the knob for
voltage
control.
The second digit of the voltmeter wil l be
blinking
. Change the blinking digit
using the resolution selection keys and adjust the knob to the desired output
voltage.
6 Return to the meter mode.
Press key or let the display time-out after several seconds to return to
the meter mode. Notice that the
Limit
annunciator turns off and the display
shows “OUT PUT OFF” mes sage.
7 Enable the output.
The
OFF
annunciator turns off and the

OVP
,
OCP
and
CV
annunciators are lit. Notic e that the display is in the
meter
mode.
In the meter mode, the display shows the actual output voltage and current.
Refer to “Programming Overvoltage Protection” and “Programming
Overcurrent Protection” sections, starting on
page 30 and page 34 for more
inform ation on
OVP
and
OCP
annunciators.
8 Verify that the power supply is in the co nstant voltage mode.
If you operate t he power supply in the constant v oltage (CV) mode, verify that
the
CV
annunciator is lit. If the
CC
annunciator is lit, choose a higher current
limit.
Note During actual CV operation, if a load change causes the current limit to be exceeded,
the power supply will automatically crossover to the constant current mode at the
preset current limit and the output voltage will drop proportionately.
