2.3.2 Set up current

3600 Series power supply can be set up for a constant current or a maximum current, please see

the following example.

Conditions: voltage=24V, load R=12Ohm, then V/R=2 A, it represents the power supply pro-

vide the load with 2A current. If the current value is set to 2.50A, the power supply works in CV

mode, the actual current value should be displayed on the screen as 2.00A. If the load resistor

becomes lower, the current will increase. When the current exceed 2.5A, the power supply will

change to CC mode, and the output voltage will drop down to maintain the actual current value

to 2.5A.

Set up current procedure as follows:

2.3.3 Enable/disable the output

By default, the power supply is disabled after power on, users can change the output status

by using ON/OFF button. The button is a turnover button. When the original output is ON, press

Procedure

Operation details LCD display

Step 1 Press “I-set” ENTER PASSWORD

Step 2 Enter the password ( Or jump to step 4 if the ENTER PASSWORD

keypad is unlocked)

Step 3 Press “Enter” button ( it will return to step 2 if your ENTER PASSWORD

password is wrong for reentering) ****

Step 4 Press “I-set” . Set up a constant current or a maximum SET CURR=0mA

current by using number key or the rotary knob. NEW=3

Step 5 Press “V/A” or “mV/mA” to confirm the set. SET CURR=0mA

It will return to step 4 for reentering if the current NEW= 15.0

value exceeds the maximum output current.

It will exit the setting up current operation at any procedure by press ESC button
