Operating Instructions
POWER ON/OFF
Make sure that the battery is installed or the AC adapter is plugged into the
EXT POWER jack. The AC adapter disconnects the internal battery. To turn the
CVC on, press and hold the upper red ON/OFF button for at least 2 seconds. The
LCD annunciators will cycle and then hold steady when the CVC is turned on.
Release the ON/OFF button within 5 seconds after cycling stops or the unit
will turn off.
To turn it off, press and hold the ON/OFF button for at least 5 seconds. The LCD annunciators will start to cycle when the CVC is turned off. Release the ON/OFF button as soon as the display starts to cycle or the unit will turn on again.
SELECTING OUTPUT MODE
Plug the test lead assembly into the appropriate output jack as shown below.
If the test leads are plugged into the mA XMTR or mA OUTPUT jack, or no leads
are plugged in, “mA” will turn on. If the load resistance is too high or the
leads are left open, “OVERLOAD” will turn on. If the leads are plugged into
the VOLTS OUTPUT jack, “V” will turn on. If the load resistance is too low or
the leads are shorted, “mA” may stay on or turn on.
Fig 3. Simulate a 2-Wire mA Transmitter Loop With an External 12 to 30V DC Supply. A similar connection can be used to extend the output range of CVC beyond 300 ohms. A 24V source will allow CVC to source into an impedance of
1000 ohms.
MANUAL SELECTION OF OUTPUT LEVEL
To increase the output, press the key. To reduce the output, press the key. A new output value will be displayed on the display.
AUTO RAMPING
The output is preprogrammed to ramp between 4 to 20 mA (or 2 to 10 V) and back in 1.0 mA (or 1.0 V) steps, with 5 seconds between each step. See below to change the ramp endpoints and step time interval. To start ramping the output, press the RAMP/TIME key for 2 seconds. “RAMP” will turn on and the output will start ramping within the minimum and maximum values programmed into the CVC. It will start at the output value manually set on the CVC before the key is pressed.
To stop the ramping and return to manual mode, press the RAMP/TIME key again.
CHANGING THE AUTO RAMPING ENDPOINTS AND STEP TIME
Press and hold the RAMP/TIME key, and immediately (within 2 seconds) press the
key without releasing the RAMP/TIME key until “RAMP” and “TIME “ turn on. “mA”
will turn off. Set the time duration for each step increment from 1.0 to 20.0
seconds, in 1.0-second increments by using the and keys. To store the desired
time interval, press the RAMP/TIME key again. “TIME” will turn off and the
appropriate “mA” or “V” will flash. “RAMP” will remain on. Set the first
endpoint by using the and keys. To store the first endpoint, press the
RAMP/TIME key again. The appropriate “mA” or “V” and “RAMP” will flash. Set
the second endpoint by using the and keys. To store the second endpoint and
exit the programming mode, press the RAMP/TIME key again. The second value
stored will be displayed along with the appropriate “mA” or “V”.
SETTING THE AUTO POWER OFF DELAY TIME
With the unit ON, press and hold the RAMP/TIME key, and immediately (within 2
seconds) press the key without releasing the RAMP/TIME key until “TIME” turns
on. All other annunciators are off. Set the time delay from the last key press
until the unit automatically turns OFF by using the and keys. The time delay
can be set from 1.0 to 20.0 minutes in 1.0-minute increments. If the delay
time is set to 00.0 minutes, the Auto Power Off Delay function is disabled.
This is useful when the unit is used on a bench with an AC adapter. To store
the desired time delay, press the RAMP/TIME key again. “TIME” will turn off
and the appropriate “mA” or “V” will turn on.
