“STBY” in the lower left corner of the Output Display. In standby mode, the NORMAL, AUX and

standby mode. The 5520A automatically switches to standby if one of the following occurs:
The RESET key is pressed.
A voltage ≥ 33 V is selected when the previous output voltage was less than 33 V.
Output function is changed, except when going between ac or dc voltage <33 V.
A current output above 3 A is selected. This is when the output location changes to the 20A
terminal.
An overload condition is detected.

Softkeys
The functions of the five unlabeled blue softkeys are identified by labels on the Control Display
directly above each key. The functions change during operation so that many different functions
are accessible through these keys. A group of softkey labels is called a menu. A group of
interconnected menus is called a menu tree.
