Chapter 3 Front-panel Operation Chapter 3 Front-panel Operation So far you have learned how to install your power supply and do some basic operation, you were briefly introduced to operating from the front panel as you learned how to check basic voltage and current functions. This chapter describes in detail the use of the front-panel keys and shows how they are used to accomplish power supply operation.
Chapter 3 Front-panel Operation 5. The VFD display shows the present operating status of the power supply with annunciators. For example, the power supply is operating in CV mode, and then the CV annunciator will turn on. If, the power supply is remotely controlled, the Rmt annunciator will also turn on, See ‘‘Display Annunciators’’.
Chapter 3 Front-panel Operation 3.4 Saving and Recalling Operation You can store up to 16 different output states in storage register locations (1 to 16). Each output state includes Constant voltage value, Constant current value and Maximum output voltage value. When shipped from factory, storage locations “1”...
