6000 SERIES MANUAL
Plug
the
line cord
into a
grounded
AC outlet. Push
the
power
switch
to
turn on
the
power
supply. The
red current LED
will
light and the display readings will remain zero.
To use the power supply in the Constant Voltage mode, turn the
current control
to
its
extreme
clockwise
position
and
set
the
voltage control to the desired voltage.
To operate the supply in
the
Constant
Current
mode,
turn
the
voltage
control
1/2
turn
clockwise
and
the
current
control
fully
counter
clockwise.
Connect a shorting lead across the output terminals and set the
desired
maximum
value of
current limit
by
turning
the
control
clockwise.
Then
disconnect
the
shorting
lead
from
the
output
terminals.
The power supply will now automatically switch into
the current limiting
mode (current regulation) as soon as the
preset current level is reached and will not exceed this level at
any voltage setting.
As soon as the supply starts operating in
current mode, the red current mode LED will turn on.
2.4 ELECTRICAL CHECK
2.4.1 Voltage Mode
To check voltage mode operation, proceed as follows;
a. Rotate VOLTAGE and CURRENT controls fully counter clockwise.
b. Connect a DC voltmeter, rated better than .5% accuracy, to the
front panel binding posts (+ and -).
c. Connect
the
lEC
power
cord
set
to
the
unit,
then
to
an
appropriate power source and set the POWER switch to ON.
d. Rotate the CURRENT control 1/2 turn clockwise.
Slowly rotate
the
VOLTAGE
control
clockwise
and
observe
the
digital
displays.
The control range should be from zero to maximum
rated output.
Compare the test meter with the voltage display
on
the
left.
Observe
the
bar
graph
meter
to
see
that
it
tracks
as
the
voltage
rises
and
that
the
voltage
mode
indicator light is ON.
e. Set the POWER switch to OFF.
2.4.2 Current Mode
To check current mode operation, proceed as follows:
a. Rotate VOLTAGE and CURRENT controls fully counterclockwise.
b. Rotate the VOLTAGE control 1/2 turn clockwise.
c. Connect a DC ammeter between the front panel binding posts (+
and -). Select leads of sufficient current carrying capacity
and an ammeter range compatible with the unit's rated current
