3 Set the display to the limit mode.
Notice that the Limit annunciator flashes, indicating that
the display is in the limit mode. When the display is in
the limit mode, you can see the voltage and current limit
values of the selected supply.
4 Adjust the knob for the desired voltage limit.
[1]
Check that the Limit annunciator still flashes and the
second digit of voltmeter flashes to indicate the knob is
selected for voltage control. The flashing digit can be
changed using the resolution keys and the flashing digit
can be adjusted by turning the knob. Adjust the knob for
the desired voltage limit.
5 Adjust the knob for the desired output current
[1]
Check that the Limit annunciator still flashes. Set the knob
for current control. The first digit of the ammeter will be
flashing. Change the flashing digit using the resolution
selection keys and adjust the knob to the desired output
current.
6 Return to the meter mode.
Press or let the display time- out after
several seconds to return to the meter mode. Notice that
the Limit annunciator turns off and the display shows the
OUTPUT OFF message.

NOTE
In constant current mode, the current values between the meter mode and
limit mode are the same, but the voltage values are not. Moreover, if the
display is in the meter mode, you cannot see the change of voltage limit
value when adjusting the knob. We recommend that you should set the
display to the limit mode to see the change of voltage limit value in the
constant current mode whenever adjusting the knob.
[1] You can use the resolution selection keys to move the flashing digit to the right
or left when setting the voltage.
