Calibrate voltage
Let the unit sit with output ON for one minute, then connect the DMM voltage input to the power supply.
Step
1
Turn the knob to 'Cal Voltage' and press the knob.
2
Measure the output voltage (low point) with the DMM.
3
Enter the measured value, and press the knob.
4
Measure the output voltage (high point) with the DMM.
5
Enter the measured value, and press the knob.
6
Read DONE or FAIL on the display.
Calibrate current
Let the unit sit with output ON for one minute, then connect a current monitoring resistor across the output
terminals to be calibrated and then connect a DMM across the terminals of the monitoring resistor.
Step
1
Turn the knob to Cal Current and press the knob.
2
Measure the low output current with the DMM (DMM reading / shunt resistance).
3
Enter the measured value, and press the knob.
4
Measure the high output current with the DMM (DMM reading / shunt resistance).
5
Enter the measured value, and press the knob.
6
Read DONE or FAIL on the display.
Calibrate small current
Allow the unit to sit with output ON for one minute before continuing.
Step
1
Turn the knob to Cal Current and press the knob.
2
Wait approximately 40 seconds for the 'Cal in Prog' message to leave the display.
3
When the display shows second point calibration, connect the DMM current input
with the appropriate calibration resistor (see
Recommended test equipment
ply.
4
Measure output current with the DMM.
5
Enter the measured value, and press the knob.
6
Read DONE or FAIL on the display.
