value in the numeric keypad area. If you want to clear and reset, you can press the【Reset】key and re-enter. At this point, pressing 【F3】 will switch back to the interface for setting output current and voltage. After completing the settings, press【F4】to confirm the output and start working. Example: Set output voltage to 28.5V, output current to 10.5A, overvoltage protection to 29V, and overcurrent protection to 15A (values entered using the keypad).
2.3 Storage/retrieval operation 2.3-1 Storage operation Users can save some commonly used parameters in 6 groups of memory for quick retrieval. The stored content includes output voltage, output current value, and overvoltage and overcurrent values. Before storing, you must first set the required voltage, current, overvoltage, and overcurrent values (refer to section 2.2-1 for details).

CV power supply constant voltage; CC power supply constant current; OV power supply overvoltage To exit, press (BACK) key to return to the main interface. 【 】 2.4-2 Continuous time setting The power supply provides power to the load, and the duration can be set. When the required output time is reached, it will automatically stop output and emit a buzzer sound as a reminder.
2.4-3 Locking function The locking function can prevent the power supply from being accidentally triggered during operation. When the power supply is operating on the main interface, press the function key 【 Lock 】, the locking indicator will light up. At this time, only the Lock key can be pressed; any other key will be ineffective.
output is turned off. to enter the parameter settings interface. In this mode, you can use the (2)Press 【 】 numeric keypad to input the desired output voltage value, output current value, overvoltage protection, and overcurrent protection value. (3)After setting is complete, press to turn on the output.
2.7 Usage of Remote Compensation Function When the power supply outputs current to the load, if the output current experiences excessive voltage drop along the output wire, for example, if the output is set to 24V, the voltage across the load may be 21V, resulting in a loss of 3V along the output wire. At this point, this function can be used to ensure that the voltage across the load remains at the set voltage, preventing variations due to reasons such as long wire lengths.
Note: When using the remote compensation function, the load and output positive and negative terminals must be properly connected, and the rear panel compensation terminal must be connected to both ends of the load. The rear panel compensation terminal must not be left unconnected; otherwise, the voltage may continuously rise. The voltage across the load and the voltage drop across the output wires, the sum of these two is the voltage at the output terminal.
3.2 Communication Settings Set the COM port in the PC according to the following settings: (1) Baud rate: 9600 (2) Parity: None (3) Data bits: 8 (4) Stop bits: 1 Note: If the power supply does not respond during remote control, please check: 1)Whether the interface cable is disconnected;...
3.3 Host Control Interface Through the host control software, you can control the output voltage and current of the power supply on the computer interface, start and stop the power supply output, and monitor the output voltage and current values of the power supply in real-time, as well as the status of the power supply: constant voltage or constant current overvoltage, and whether it is outputting.
P00: Overvoltage OV status, output disabled P10: Constant voltage CV status, output disabled P20: Constant current CC status, output disabled Complete format example: V24.00A12.55P11, meaning the power supply is currently outputting a voltage of 24.00V, an output current of 12.55A, in constant voltage mode, and the output is enabled Send: The host can send function codes to the power supply, which will respond upon receipt.

1. Check if the maximum output power meets the load requirements. 2. If satisfied, check whether the voltage setting value is appropriate; if too low, you can appropriately increase the voltage setting value. Check whether the cables connecting the load and the power supply have short circuits or disconnections, and whether the connections are good.

After making the changes, click 'Find Serial Port' in the software again, and finally click 'Open Serial Port'. Once successfully opened, it will display 'Port COMA has been opened' in the lower left corner. 3. Output start and stop Once the serial port is opened, the computer establishes serial communication with the programmable power supply, and the software begins monitoring.
