COMM program version information etc.. 3.3 Switch Power Supply Output Mode FTP series power supply provides three different output modes: CV/CC output, sequence output and constant power (CP) output. Press the specific key so as to switch to corresponding output mode.
____________________________________________________________________________ 3.4 Turn ON/OFF Power Supply Output In any of three output modes, press the key to turn ON/OFF power supply output. For example, in CV/CC output interface, when press the key, the screen status prompt area no longer displays “OFF”, instead it indicates the power supply output mode “CV”.
3.6 Save and Recall FTP series provides users with up to 20 memory locations for saving V/I parameters. To recall saved parameters, you can perform in recall function interface, or just press a number key to shortcut recall saved parameters.
3.7.1 Voltage/Current Limit Set FTP series power supply allows for setting upper and lower limits on output voltage, current. When the upper and lower limit is set to non-zero, the allowed setting range of static output voltage, current is limited between the upper and lower limit.

3.7.5 CV/CC Priority Start function FTP series power supply provides CC priority and CV priority start function, which forces the power supply to operate in CC or CV mode at the moment the output is turned on, effectively avoids the current or voltage overshoot resulted from capacitive or inductive load.
____________________________________________________________________________ 3.8 Protection FTP series power supply provides comprehensive protection functions, some of them are user adjustable protection functions and it is possible to set an protection threshold, while others are not. The adjustable protection functions includes protections against overvoltage (OVP), overcurrent (OCP), overpower (OPP), foldback, reverse voltage (RVP), low voltage (LVP), communication time out (Over time).
Page 33
____________________________________________________________________________ Overcurrent Protection (OCP) Users are able to set the OCP threshold, set to 0 means to turn off OCP (Default set is 0). OCP is triggered once the output current exceeds OCP set, the DC output is shut off and “OCP” is prompted on display. Overpower Protection (OPP) Users are able to set the OPP threshold, set to 0 means to turn off OPP (Default set is 0).
