Remote Programmable Laboratory Grade Switching Mode Power Supply
1. INTRODUCTION
Since the introduction of HCS series power supplies in 2009, we have made numerous improvement within the limits of
the original hardware modules, firmware and software framework.
In the upgraded version of HCS series power supplies, both the hardware and the firmware have been modified, the
application software has a completely design in concert with the value added features.
Added features which can be done on the unit panel.
1. Reset no load current to zero on current meter.
2. Reset the 3 presets to factory default

7.4 Using the control knobs The rotary encoder control knobs have fine and coarse tuning with clicking movement. Push the knobs to toggle between coarse and fine tuning, notice the subtle changes in brightness of related LED. . Adjust the knobs to your desired values by trying coarse and fine tuning. The display will resume its normal brightness after few seconds to confirm your adjustment. - Page 6 7.10 Reset 3 preset output P1/ P2/ P3 to factory default value In session 6.3, you learning how to set 3 preset output to you preferred value. In case you need to reset it to factory default, you can do it in MENU mode. Press and hold Voltage Control Knob for 30s to enter MENU mode.

Page 7: Analogue Remote Control Mode
8. ANALOGUE REMOTE CONTROL MODE There are two methods for remote control of current and voltage adjustment. Both methods require both the current remote control part and the voltage remote control part to be set up and be in used at the same time in order for analogue remote control mode to be functional. Otherwise unit will be in CC mode all the time and the analogue remote control will not be functional. -
