8. NORMAL OPERATION
The power supply can be operated via the front setting controller in normal operation. Remove
the connected consumer from the output (6).
Switch on the power supply via the POWER (1) on/off switch.
The display (2) lights up and the voltage and current display appears after a short self-test.
First set the current limit before each voltage setting. Your connecting cables can
be damaged by a high current value. The output voltage can be limited by a low
current value (<1A).
a) Set current limit
A protective mechanism limits the output current to protect the consumer or the connecting
cables. The current limitation can be preset without short circuiting at the output. The power
supply then delivers the maximum preset current.
1. Remove the connected consumer from the power supply.
2. Switch on the power supply POWER on/off switch (1). The display (2) lights up and after a
short self test the voltage and current display appears.
3. Set the current limiter on the CURRENT setting controller (5) according to your needs.
4. Turn the controller and the current limitation value appears.
The display switches back to the current power display if a setting is not
made within 2 seconds.
5. Turn the setting controller to the left or right to set the current limitation. This is represented
byaslightlylighterdigit.Brieypressthesettingcontroller.Thedecimalpoint(1.0or0.1)
of the setting range changes each time the button is pressed. Turning changes the value.
6. The setting can be made roughly (in the unit range) or precisely (in the one tenth range).
7. The display automatically switches back to normal display after approximately 2 seconds if
the desired current value was set.
The power supply switches to current limitation mode and also reduces the
voltage value if the preset current strength is reached in normal operation. This
operation is signaled with the red C.C. status display (2).
b) Set output voltage
The output voltage can be set at the VOLTAGE (4) settingcontrol.Theroughandnecontrolis
carried out in the same way as the setting of the current limitation.
