4.3 Setting Current Limit
1. Determine the maximum safe current for the device to be powered.
2. Temporarily short the (+) and (-) terminals of the power supply together
with a test lead.
3. Adjust the coarse and fine current control for the desired current limit. Read
the current value on the current LED display.
4. The current limit (overload protection) has now been preset. Do not change
the current controls settings after this step.
5. Remove the short between the (+) and (-) terminals and hook up for constant
voltage operation.
