activation press the CLEAR key to set the

value is displayed, press ENTER. This causes
the new value to appear at the output and be
applied to the load if the output is enabled.

the two methods described above. If the Protect
Entry setting is set to Independent, separate
entries for the positive and negative protect chan-
nel are possible. Otherwise the value entered is
applied to both positive and negative protect
channels.
NOTE: The BOP can be configured to show
the protection limits as either a single
value that applies to both protection
channels or show individual settings
for positive and negative protection
limits. See Operator's Manual for

setting is below the existing setting for the protection
limit, the protection channel (voltage or current) is
set to zero.
DETERMINING HOW THE UNIT RESPONDS
WHEN OUTPUT IS OFF (LOAD TYPE)
BOP supports three Load Type selections (see Table
5) which determine how the power supply responds
when the output is off: ACTIVE, RESISTIVE and
BATTERY. The Load Type selection does not affect
the settings of the power supply for ON state; it only
affects the main internal reference level and the pro-
prevent
tection levels during the OFF state.
For inductive loads, and especially
superconducting
loads, the inherent offset of the
BOP in the OFF state may generate
significant current in the circuit. A
properly rated switch in parallel
with a resistor must be connected
between the power supply and the
load. The switch must be open and
the BOP front panel LCD must read
0V, 0A before removing or installing
connections between BOP and
load.
