Upper Voltage/Current (UVL/UCL) Limits
The Upper Voltage (UVL) and Current (UCL) Limits are added protection for sensitive loads. When
the output exceeds the UVL or UCL setting, the output signals will automatically switch OFF and
the alert icon 'Uul' or 'UCl' will appear. The second function of the Voltage and Current Knobs are
for UVL and UCL adjustment.
