DC Power Supply
Accepts a USB slave connector for command-based
remote control via PC.
The power cord socket accepts the AC mains.
The fuse holder contains the AC main fuse.
The instrument automatically switches between constant voltage mode
(CV) and constant current mode (CC), according to load condition.
When the current level is smaller than the output setting, the instrument
operates in Constant Voltage mode. The indicator on the front panel turns
green (C.V.) The Voltage level is kept at the setting and the Current level
fluctuates according to the load condition until it reaches the output
current setting.
When the current level reaches the output setting, the instrument starts
operating in Constant Current mode. The indicator on the front panel turns
red (C.C.) The Current level is kept at the setting but the Voltage level
becomes lower than the setting, in order to suppress the output power
level from overload. When the current level becomes lower than the
setting, the instrument goes back to the Constant Voltage mode.
