Operation

Introduction

The device is a highly accurate, DC-regulated power supply with an adjustable output. This output can be used for constant voltage (C.V.) and constant current (C.C.).

The output voltage can be adjusted between 0 V and 60 V when the device is in the constant voltage mode or C.V.-mode. The current-limiting point (max. ± 12 A) can also be set arbitrarily in this mode.

The output current can be adjusted continuously between 0 and 10 A in the constant current mode.

The output current and voltage are indicated through LED displays.

Using the device as a C.V. source

Turn the knobs [3] and [4] completely to the right before activating the device.
Activate the device.
Use knob [5] to obtain a voltage that is close to the desired value.
Consequently, you should use fine-tuning knob [6] to set the exact value. The C.V. indicator comes on.

Connecting the Load

The load is connected as shown in the figure below.
You can read the output current [1] and the output voltage [2] from the display as soon as the device has been switched on.
The C.V. indicator [8] is lit if the device is in the C.V.-mode.
The C.V. LED is off and the C.C. LED will light if the Amp display indicates a value that exceeds the installed value. When this happens, the device will automatically go into current-limiting mode. Install a load that will allow the device to function normally.

Using the device as a C.C. source

Use the power switch [9] to activate the device.
Turn knobs [5] and [6] completely to the right and turn knobs [3] and [4] completely to the left.
Connect the load.
Adjust [3] and [4] until the desired current is obtained. The C.C. indicator is now lit while the C.V. indicator is off.

Use of the current-limiting adjustment in the C.V.-mode

Set both current knobs [3] and [4] to the maximum position.
You can now set the current-limiting point arbitrarily (max. ± 12 A).
Proceed as follows: activate the device, connect a variable load and adjust the load so that the current matches the desired current-limiting point.
Meanwhile, you should also manipulate current knobs [3] and [4] until the C.C. LED lights.
The value on the Amp display is identical to the current limiting point.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Disconnect the device from the mains prior to maintenance activities.
The power supply cables must not show any damage. Have a qualified technician maintain the device.
Wipe the device regularly with a moist, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
There are no user-serviceable parts, apart from the fuse. Contact your dealer for spare parts if necessary.
Store the device in a dry, well-ventilated, dust-free room.
