3.1 Local Mode/Remote Mode 
(Local) button on the front panel is used to switch remote mode to local 
mode. 
After power on the power  supply,  it defaults in local mode. In this mode, all 
buttons are enabled. While in remote control mode, all buttons are forbidden 
except local button. Local and remote control mode can be switched by PC. It 
will not change the output parameters when mode is changed. 
3.2 Dual-range switch(IT6860A/B/IT6870A/B) 
Operation: Press      (shift) +number 4 or 7 
Take  IT6874A  as  an  example,  press      (Shift)+number  4,VFD  will  appear  a 
mark  “*”,it  represents  in  high  voltage  level(0-150V,1.2A).Press        (shift)+ 
number  7,mark  “*”  will  disappear  which  indicates  in  low  voltage  level 
now(0-60V,2A). 
In  high  voltage  level,  setting  voltage  is  higher  than  the  max  voltage  in  low 
voltage level. At this moment, if customer switch to lower voltage level. Then 
the voltage will default to be limited at the max voltage value of low voltage level. 
In low voltage level, working current is higher than in high voltage level. So, 
when  customer  switch  to  high  voltage  level  (with  lower  current  range),  the 
current will default to be limited at the max current value of high voltage level. 
NOTE 
The output of the power supply will be OFF after switching the voltage level. You need to wait for 
one second before pressing the    button to turn on the output. The button will be no 
response in the one second. If  you send the  ‘OUTP  ON’  command, the system will return the 
error message ‘Output Locked’. 
3.3 Voltage setting   
IT6800A/B series power  supply enables  customer to set  voltage from  0V to
