General Inspection

After you get a new power supply, it is recommended that you should make a check on the instrument according to the following steps:

1. Check whether there is any damage caused by transportation.
   If it is found that the packaging carton or the foamed plastic protection cushion has suffered serious damage, do not throw it away first till the complete device and its accessories succeed in the electrical and mechanical property tests.

2. Check the Accessories
   The supplied accessories have been already described in the “Appendix A: Enclosure” of this Manual. You can check whether there is any loss of accessories with reference to this description. If it is found that there is any accessory lost or damaged, please get in touch with the distributor of our responsible for this service or the our local offices.

3. Check the Complete Instrument
   If it is found that there is damage to the appearance of the instrument, or the instrument can not work normally, or fails in the performance test, please get in touch with the our distributor responsible for this business or the our local offices. If there is damage to the instrument caused by the transportation, please keep the package. With the transportation department or the our distributor responsible for this business informed about it, a repairing or replacement of the instrument will be arranged by the we.

Power Inspection

1. Use the power cord supplied with the accessories to connect the instrument to the AC power.
   Warning：
   To prevent electric shock, make sure that the instrument is properly grounded.

2. Press the power button on the front panel, the button light will be on, and the startup screen will be displayed on the screen.

Output Inspection

Output inspection is to ensure that the instrument can achieve its rated outputs and properly respond to operation from the front panel. For the procedures below, it is suggested that you read “Turn On/Off the Channel Output” on page 8 and “Set the Output Voltage/Current” on page 8.

Voltage Output Inspection
The following steps verify basic voltage functions without load:

1. When the instrument is under no load, select a channel and ensure the output current setting for this channel is not at zero.
2. Turn on the channel output, then ensure the channel is in Constant Voltage output mode.
3. Set some different voltage values on this channel; check if the actual voltage value displayed is close to the set voltage value, and also that the actual current value displayed is nearly to zero.
4. Check that if the output voltage can be adjusted from zero to the maximum rating, When it is  set to the maximum or minimum, a beep is heard, indicating that the limit has been reached.

Current Output Inspection
The following steps check basic current functions with a short across the power supply’s output:

1. Connect a short across (+) and (-) output terminals with an insulated test lead on this channel. Use a wire size sufficient to handle the maximum current.
2. Set the output voltage to the maximum rating on this channel.
3. Turn on the channel output. Ensure the channel you used is in Constant Current output mode.
4. Set some different current values on this channel; check if the actual current value displayed is close to the set current value, and to check if the actual voltage value displayed is nearly zero.
5. Check that if the output current can be adjusted from zero to the maximum rating, When it is set to the maximum or minimum, a beep is heard, indicating that the limit has been reached..
6. Turn off the channel output and remove the short circuit from the output terminals.

Panel Operation

Over Voltage/Current Protection
Overvoltage protection (O.V.P) or overcurrent protection (O.C.P): after the output is turned on, once the output voltage/current reaches the set value of O.V.P/O.C.P, the instrument will cut off the output, a warning will show on the screen.

Note:
When the instrument disables the output due to protection, after you make some adjustments, the channel must be restarted to output normally.

This function can keep the power output from exceeding the load rating to protect the load.
