Operation Of The Device - PeakTech 6080 A Operation Manual

5. Operation of the device

1. Switch on the device with the main switch (9)
2. Set the desired output voltage roughly with the knob (5) and make fine adjustments with the
knob (6) until you see the desired output voltage in the display (1)
3. If you have an overcurrent-sensitive load, short-circuit the outputs (10 + 11) and set the
current limit to the desired value before connecting the load
4. Read the current value in the digital display (2) and the voltage value in the digital display (1).
5. If the required current exceeds the set current limit, the output voltage breaks down. Adjust the
current limit or remove the load depending on the application.
6. After use, switch off the device and allow the heat sink to cool before transporting or storing
the device.
Note:

The current controls (7/8) of the PeakTech 6080 A are used to set a current limit. If the loaded
current of the load is below this set value, the set voltage (5/6) is completely output. If the
loaded current of the load exceeds the set current limiter value, the output voltage for
protection of the connected load completely breaks down and amounts to approx. 0V.

The current and voltage readings represent the measured actual value. Therefore, if the load
requires less current than is set via the rotary control, only this actually required current value
is displayed.

The voltage display shows the set voltage value even without the load connected - the current
display shows zero without connected load (with open terminals). Only after connecting a load
(load or short-circuit bridge) is a current value displayed.
