6.8.1. Current Regulation
1. Set the VOLTAGE setting to its maximum value using the voltage encoder (the maximum
value will be the rating of the supply).
NOTE: The fastest way to adjust a setting to maximum or minimum is to press the encoder
button until the left-most digit is flashing and then turn the encoder.
2. Set the CURRENT setting to the desired value using the current encoder.
3. If the voltage reaches the supply voltage rating while regulating current the supply will
change to voltage regulation to keep the voltage from going over its rating.
6.8.2. Voltage Regulation
1. Set the CURRENT setting to its maximum value using the current encoder (the maximum
value will be the rating of the supply).
2. Set the VOLTAGE setting to the desired value using the voltage encoder.
3. If the current reaches the supply current rating while regulating voltage the supply will
change to current regulation to keep the current from going over its rating.
6.8.3. Current Regulation with Voltage Limit (crossover)
1. Use the voltage encoder to adjust the VOLTAGE setting to the desired voltage limit. For
proper setting of the voltage limit make sure the SET lamp is blinking on and off while
making the adjustment (if the SET lamp is not blinking on and off then the value displayed is
not the voltage setting but rather the output voltage meter value, which indicates actual
voltage on the output, not the voltage limit setting).
2. Use the current encoder to adjust the CURRENT setting to the desired current. For proper
setting of the current setting make sure the SET lamp is blinking on and off while making the
adjustment.
3. During operation if the bath resistance goes up the voltage will increase until it reaches the
voltage limit. The power supply will then switch to voltage regulation to keep the voltage
from going over the limit. The current will then decrease as the bath resistance increases.
NOTE: The current and voltage settings can be viewed at any time by pressing the
associated encoder switch (the SET lamp will blink on and off).
6.8.4. Voltage Regulation with Current Limit (crossover)
1. Use the current encoder to adjust the CURRENT setting to the desired current limit. For
proper setting of the current limit make sure the SET lamp is blinking on and off while
making the adjustment (if the SET lamp is not blinking on and off then the value displayed is
not the current setting but rather the output current meter value, which indicates actual
current on the output, not the current limit setting).
2. Use the VOLTAGE encoder to adjust the VOLTAGE setting to the desired voltage. For
proper setting of the voltage setting make sure the SET lamp is blinking on and off while
making the adjustment.
3. During operation if the bath resistance goes down the current will increase until it reaches
the current limit. The power supply will then switch to current regulation to keep the current
from going over the limit. The voltage will then decrease as the bath resistance decreases.
