Introduction This unit is a bench top triple-output power supply. Variable voltage outputs may be electrically connected for Series or Parallel mode. The two main power supplies in the unit have four meters for monitoring output voltage and current. Each of the variable power supplies are also equipped with independent controls for use when the unit is not being operated in the Series or Parallel mode.
Front Panel Description The following is an explanation of the function of each of the front panel controls and connectors. (1) POWER ON - This is the main power switch (2) POWER ON LED - This LED indicates that the power is on. (3) VOLTAGE/CURRENT METERS - These four meters indicate the output voltage and current as measured at the output terminals.
