1.8 System Menu Function for details. Configure LAN Interface Information The configurable parameters of the IT6000C series power supply are described as follows. IP-Conf • IP Addr: This value is the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the instrument. An IP address is required for all IP and TCP/IP communications with the instru- ment.
This page allows you to monitor and control the instrument; • LAN Configuration: Reconfigure the LAN parameters; • Manual: Go to the ITECH official website and view or download the relevant documents. • Upload: Performs a system upgrade. Click CONNECT to connect the PC with the instrument, then click Select File to select the system upgrade installation package (for example, itech_6000_P.itech), and then click UPLOAD performs the upgrade op-...
2.3 Connecting the Power Cord to select proper AC input. 4. If you need additional assistance, contact ITECH technical support engineer. 3.2 Set Output Value The voltage value, current value, power value can all be programmed. The user can set different output parameters within the range of specifications according to the need to satisfy a range of test requirement.
Vh, and press [V-set] again to set the voltage lower limit Vl. 4.4.2 Set the Internal Resistance The IT6000C series power supply provides internal resistance setting (CV prior- ity mode only). The procedures are shown as below. 1. Press the composite keys [Shift]+[V-set] (Config) on the front panel to enter the configuration menu.
3. Set the output-on/output-off delay time and press [Enter] to confirm. 4.5 Protection Function for Power Supply The IT6000C series power supply provides the general protection functions such as overvoltage, overcurrent, overpower, undercurrent and undervoltage protection. The corresponding protection parameters can be configured in the Protect menu.
When you return power to the instrument, verify that the cooling fan is running. If not, please contact ITECH Technical Support. Leaving the instrument powered on with an inoperative cooling fan may result in damage to the instrument.
