Operation
6.1
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.
6.2
Using the device as a C.V. source
1. Turn the knobs [3] and [4] completely to the right before activating the device.
2. Activate the device.
3. Use knob [5] to obtain a voltage that is close to the desired value.
4. Consequently, you should use fine-tuning knob [6] to set the exact value.
The C.V. indicator comes on.
6.3
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.
6.4
Using the device as a C.C. source
1. Use the power switch [9] to activate the device.
2. Turn knobs [5] and [6] completely to the right and turn knobs [3] and [4] completely to the left.
3. Connect the load.
4. Adjust [3] and [4] until the desired current is obtained.
The C.C. indicator is now lit while the C.V. indicator is off.
