Display Descriptions

Constant Voltage mode (C.V. indicator)
The output voltage is kept constant at the set voltage. The
DCP36 remains in CV mode if the load current is lower than
the set current limit, otherwise it will switch to CC mode.
Constant Current mode (C.C. indicator)
When the load is higher than the set current limit of the set
voltage in CV mode, the Constant Current mode is active.
The output current is kept constant at the set current level
provided that the loading is sufficiently large to draw
current equal to or larger than the set current, otherwise it
will switch to the CV mode.
