Operation

• If you want to use the unit as a stable voltage supply, set the current knob to maximum clockwise. Then switch on the unit and set the voltage knob to the required voltage.
• If you want to use the unit as a stable current supply, turn the unit on, set the voltage knob to the maximum clockwise and the current knob to the minimum counterclockwise. Connect the load and set the current knob to the required current.
• If you want to use the unit as a stable voltage supply, you can set the protection point of the current limit randomly. Set the current knob on the minimum counterclockwise. Then, short-circuit the output terminals and set the current knob clockwise.
• Set the output current to the required limited current point.
• For more accuracy, connect an external high-accuracy meter.

Notes

• This unit is short-circuit protected. If a short circuit should occur, turn the power supply off and solve the problem.
