SHOCK HAZARD, LETHAL VOLTAGES Many models generate voltages greater than
60 VDC, with some models rated at 950 VDC! Ensure that all instrument
connections, load wiring, and load connections are either insulated or covered using
the safety covers provided, so that no accidental contact with lethal voltages can
occur.
When the RPS is first turned on, it may take about 30 seconds or so to initialize the
instrument before it is ready for use.
Set the Output Priority Mode
Select either voltage or current priority mode. Refer to
Voltage priority mode keeps the output voltage constant. The output voltage remains at its
programmed setting, provided the load current remains within the + or - current limit setting.
Current priority mode keeps the output current constant. The output current remains at its
programmed setting, provided the load voltage remains within the voltage limit setting.
Front Panel Menu Reference
Select Output\Mode.
Select either Voltage priority or Current priority.
Then press Select.
When switching between voltage priority and current priority mode, the output is
turned off and the output settings revert to their Power-on or RST values.
