Power Line Surge Protection
The Model 6100 unit contains circuitry to minimize the impact of power line
surges. In order to further protect an attached laser diodes and TEC coolers,
the 6100 contains circuitry to immediately shut down one or both of the
outputs when a large surge is detected.
This secondary protection capability instantly disables an output when it
senses that the output's current exceeds 3% of the set current limit or that the
