3. Set the DMM to measure 5 amperes DC.
4. Press SHIFT
→ OUT 1; verify that the “1” indicator lights up on the display.
5. Set up the power supply as follows:
VOLTS SET 20 V
CURRENT SET 2.5 A
OVP SET 22 V
6. Press OUTPUT ON/OFF. Verify that the “OUT” indicator lights up on the
display.
7. Adjust the output of the Variac from 108 to 132 VAC (120 V range) or 198
to 242 VAC (220 V range). Verify that the DMM current variation is
≤0.003 A over the adjustment range.
8. Press OUTPUT ON/OFF. Verify that the “OUT” indicator turns off.
9. Press SHIFT
→ OUT 2; verify that the “2” indicator lights up on the display.
10. Ensure that the power supply output is disabled. Remove the leads from the
