5. GENERAL OPERATION PRINCIPLE There are four operation methods for this unit: • Manual Operation • Presets • Timed Program • PC Interface Mode. • The large Liquid Crystal Display will guide you through the various operations/procedures interactively once you understand the operation principle. There are four Dual Function Control Keys for various operation modes and input states of the unit. To change/set operation mode (output on /off, key lock & etc.
Program 1 to 9 is for nine sets of Presets of voltage and current. The program 0 is reserved for the 20 timed subprograms; each is capable of storing 1 second to 99-minute operation period with its preset voltage and current levels. The timed subprograms can be set to operate repeatedly in sequence from 1 to 232 cycles. 6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 6.1 Setting of Operation Modes Output On/Off Mode 1. 2. Press SHIFT key. The display will show Sh:Ft. Press (O/P On/Off) key within 3 seconds.
Upper Voltage Limit Setting This feature limits the upper level setting of output voltage to prevent inadvertent setting of high voltage, which may damage your application.

This will disable the output at power up.
STANDARD OPERATION SYMBOLS V- const Constant Voltage mode showing set voltage. V- set This only appears voltage level is ready for setting. I-set This only appears current level is ready for setting. I-const This only appears when unit is in (CC) constant current mode. They show the actual Volts, Amperes and Watts at the output terminals.
6.2 Manual Operation Mode In the Manual Operation Mode, once the voltage and current levels have been set, the unit wi11 keep these settings even after unit has been switched off until further reset. There are 3 ways to input a setting: 1. By the Jog Dial. 2. By the UP or DOWN key. 3. By the Key Pad. For any wrong input, e.g. out of specification values, display will show "OUT OF RANGE" FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS, then returns to it's previous settings and ready for correct new input.
and returns to its old settings Note : If during any of the above keypad operations, you fall to input a setting within 10 seconds, the unit will cancel the procedure and resume its previous settings. You can exit any of the above operations by pressing the CLEAR key and the unit will revert to its previous settings. 7.

8. MAINTENANCE 8.1 RECALIBRATION Introduction This in-case recalibration is to reduce the difference between the Set values and the displayed values on the LCD Display. You only use the recalibration when the difference is greater than 0.1V for voltage or -0.01A / +0.02A for current. The whole recalibration for voltages and current takes less than 15 minutes. It is performed by a proprietary software using regression algorithm. The recalibration software is compatible to Window XP, Me, 2000, 98SE, 98.
8.2 TROUBLE SHOOTING 1. Keypad and Dial do not work. Check key lock symbol for lock state, unlock unit by pressing SHIFT then Lock/Unlock key, otherwise switch the unit off and then back on to see if the problem persists. 2. No output power. Check the output for on/off symbol on the display. Press SHIFT O/P ON/OFF key. 3. Cannot get a high voltage setting within the rated maximum. Check the upper voltage limit setting by pressing SHIFT then the 0 key. Reset to the rated maximum voltage. 4.
