Constant Current Operation
To set up the power supply for constant current (CC)
operation, proceed as follows.
Front panel operation
1 Connect a load to the output terminals.
With power- off, connect a load to the (+) and (–) output
terminals.
2 Turn on the power supply.
The power supply will go into the power- on/reset state
and the output is disabled (the OFF annunciator turns on).
Its low voltage range is selected and the annunciator for
the range presently selected turns on. For example, the 8V
annunciator turns on for the E3646A model. The knob is
selected for voltage control. At power- on, the output1 is
selected and the OUT1 annunciator turns on.
Press to operate the power supply in the high
voltage range before proceeding to the next step. The 20V
or 60V annunciator turns on depending on which power
supply you are using.
3 Set the display to the limit mode.
Notice that the Limit annunciator flashes, indicating that
the display is in the limit mode. When the display is in
the limit mode, you can see the voltage and current limit
values of the selected supply.
CURRent {<current>|MIN|MAX} Set the current.
VOLTage {<voltage>|MIN|MAX} Set the voltage.
OUTPut ON Enable the output.
