Protection Function
nuisance. Specifying an OPP delay lets the OPP circuit ignore these
momentary changes during the specified delay period. Once the OPP delay
time has expired and the over-power condition persists, the output will shut
down.
Clear Over-Power Protection
When over-power protection occurs, the instrument responds as follows:
• Instrument input is off;
• The buzzer sounds;
• The interface displays “Over Power Protect” and flashes;
• Status register, the OP status bit is set to 1.
To clear the over-power and return to normal operation, firstly remove the
conditions that caused the protection fault. Press [Esc] key (or send the
command PROTection:CLEar) to clear the protection status. The “Over Power
Protect” displayed in front panel is cleared and the instrument exits OPP status.
6.3 Set Under-Voltage Protection
Under-voltage protection function allows the user to enable the protection and
set a under-voltage limit (Level) and delay time (Delay).
An under-voltage protection will occur if:
• Enable UVP;
• The input voltage value is less than the set voltage protection point Level
and the period is greater than the set protection delay time Delay.
Enable UVP
1. Press [Shift]+[R-set](Protect) to enter Protect menu interface.
2. Rotate the knob to select UVP and press [Enter] to enter the setting
interface.
3. Rotate the knob to select On and press [Enter] to enable the function.
4. Rotate the knob and adjust the protection Level and press [Enter] to
confirm.
5. Rotate the knob to set the Delay time, press [Enter] to confirm.
6. Press [Esc] to exit.
Delay time
You can specify an UVP delay to prevent momentary output settings, DUT and
status changes from tripping the over-power protection. In most cases these
