3646A-TYPE USER’S MANUAL Chapter 2 Operation 2.1 General operation 1. Connect the power supply with PC Fig 7 Connect the power supply with PC 2.2 Function introduction 2.2.1. Main functions 1. Set up a constant voltage from 0 to 36V 2. Set up a constant current or maximum protection current from 0 to 3A 3. Switch ON/OFF the power supply output 4. Store 10 sets of date which had been set up 5. Recall the stored data 2.2.2 Sub-functions 1. Set up the output voltage limit 2. Turn ON/OFF the sound of key 3.
3646A-TYPE USER’S MANUAL 2.3.1 V-set (set up a constant voltage from 0 to 36V) Set up a constant DC voltage output is the first main function of programmable DC power supply, 3645A power supply provides two methods to set up the constant DC voltage output by using the number keyboard and the rotary button. Please see the following operation procedure.
3646A-TYPE USER’S MANUAL 2.3.2 I-set (set up a constant current or a maximum current from 0 to 3A) 3645A power supply can be set u p for a constant current or a maximum current from 0 to 3A, and there are two special application for users when he set up the I-set, please see the following example. Conditions: voltage=24V, load R=12 ¦¸ ¦¸, then V/R=2 A, it represents that the power supply provide the load with 2A current. If 1)Set up the current I = 2.
3646A-TYPE USER’S MANUAL 2.3.4 Store data function To users, this is a good function for ease using. If you wan to use a constant voltage and current as 24V and 2A, or 12V and 2.3A etc every day, you just need to set up the data for the first time, and then store the data in the power supply, and then recall it when you need the data again. It can store 10 sets data at most.
3646A-TYPE USER’S MANUAL 2.3.5 Recall data function In the last paragraph, we know that we can store 10 sets of data of the power supply in the memory. Also you can recall any one set data from the stored data. It means that you needn’t to set up again for the usually requirement, and it bring your much ease to use.
