This guide gives a brief introduction to the KLP Power supply, shows simple load connections, and
allows you to verify the power supply is working. The guide also shows you how to use the front panel
controls to perform the most commonly used functions.
Accessing Manuals. First determine your Firmware Version (see below), then download the KLP User
Manual and Developer's Guide from www.kepcopower.com/support/opmanls.htm#klp. Refer to the KLP
User Manual for full specifications, installation considerations and operating instructions. An Installation/
Operation Summary includes hyperlinked references to detailed procedure, but which can be printed as
a handy reference. Refer to the KLP Developer's Guide for a full description of the digital interfaces, their
associated drivers, and the SCPI command language.
Firmware Version. Refer to www.kepcopower.com/utility/util.htm to determine which firmware version is
installed. The KLP can be upgraded to the latest version at no cost using the Kepco Upgrade Utility, also
available at www.kepcopower.com/utility/util.htm.
