Clear an OCP or OVP event
The instrument prominently displays an OCP TRIPPED or OVP TRIPPED message to indicate an overcurrent or
overvoltage event. The triangle above OCP or OVP flashes continuously until the event is cleared.
The output will be automatically turned OFF when OCP/OVP occurs.
1. To begin, correct the condition that caused the OCP or OVP event. There are three ways to do this:
a. Turn off OCP or OVP as described above.
b. Set the current or voltage level to be less than the OCP or OVP level. You may be able to do this by adjusting
the voltage setting, the current setting, or the resistance of the load.
c. Set the OCP or OVP limit value to be above the current or voltage level.
2. Press [Menu].
3. Turn the knob to OCP Set or OVP Set and press the knob.
