Page 14: Analogue Remote Control Mode
9. Analogue Remote Control Mode There are two methods for remote control of current and voltage adjustment. NOTE: Both methods require both the current remote control part and the volt- age remote control part to be set up and be in-use at the same time in order for analogue remote control mode to be functional. - Page 15 9.2 Method B: Using two 0 – 5K Ohm variable resistors Two variable resistors must be set up at the same time in order for the remote control to be functional.

Page 17: Faults And Trouble Shooting
10. Faults and Trouble Shooting 10.1 OUP: Over Voltage Protection This unit has a built-in tracking over voltage protection feature. In the event of output voltage becoming greater than the set value (see specified range from specifications table), protection will be triggered and the output power will be cut off and OUP warning appears as below. - Page 18 10.3 OLP: Over Load Protection Normally the overload protection is sustained by the CC constant current mode. When the CC mode fails and goes undetected, it may cause serious damage to your test piece or load. The OLP is meant to minimize the extent of damage to your loads as power supplies do fail some day.

- Page 22 D. External Timed Program External Timed Program is completely controlled by PC, PC counts the time and changes voltage and current of power supply. Select External Timed Program tab to switch to the External Timed Program tab. - Double click on the cell that you would like to set value. e.g. Step 2 voltage. - Slide the bar to configure the value.
- Page 23 - Set time for this step to be running. The time range is between 0 to 9hours 59 minutes 59 seconds. You can click up/down button to change value or directly input value. If the time value is set to 0, this step will be skipped. - Select running cycle between 0-999.
- Page 24 E. Internal Preset Memory The PC interface remote mode really eliminates the tedious process of keying in groups of entries on the power supply. Because all the data are displayed together in the monitor, possibility of wrong entry is greatly reduced. Data of different groups can be classified, stored, exported and retrieved for use at any time.
- Page 25 F. Data Log Data Log window Data log window is used to display output Voltage, Current and Power against time in graphical view. You can move the diagram left and right by adjust “Move:” slide bar. You can zoom in/out the diagram by adjust “Zoom:” slide bar. You can save the data in CSV file for analysis later.
- Page 26 G. Save, Load and Print Setting In previous session, the above 3 buttons are used to save, load and print log data. In addition, these buttons can used to save, load and print setting for External Timed Program and Internal Preset Memory. First, select tab in Main configure and data log display panel.
