Programming the Overvoltage Protection
E3632A User’s Guide 35
Remote interface operation
Use the following commands to store and recall the power
supply state.
Programming the Overvoltage Protection
Overvoltage protection guards the load against output
voltages that reach a specified value greater than the
programmed protection level. It is accomplished by shorting
the output via an internal SCR when the trip level is set to
equal or greater than 3 V, or by progamming the output to
1 V when the trip level is set to less than 3 V.
The following steps show how to set the OVP trip level, how
to check OVP operation, and how to clear overvoltage
condition.
Front panel operation
Setting the OVP level and enable the OVP circuit
1 Turn on the power supply.
The power supply will go into the power- on/reset state,
the output is disabled (the OFF annunciator turns on), the
15 V/7 A range is selected (the 15V annunciator turns on);
and the knob is selected for voltage control.
2 Enable the output.
The OFF annunciator turns off and the display will go to
the meter mode.
*SAV {1|2|3} Store an operating state to a
specified location
*RCL {1|2|3} Recall a previously stored state from
a specified location
