4. Press the LEVEL key (9) to select the desired CR level. When the LEVEL LED is lit, the
HIGH level (lower resistance) is selected and when not lit, the LOW level is selected (higher
resistance).
5. Press the LOAD key (8) to toggle the load off or on. Press the LEVEL key (9) at any time
to switch between the settings. The current can be changed at any time using the inc/dec
arrows. The value set can be viewed by pressing the PRES key.
CV Mode
CV mode operates in static mode only.
1. Press the MODE key (3) until the CV LED (3) is lit.
2. Press the PRES key (7) to view the programmed values. The high level must be higher
than the low level; in setting the values, the load will not allow the HIGH level to be lower
than the LOW level.
a. To set the high level, press the HIGH key (16). Use the inc/dec arrows to set the desired
level.
b. To set the low level, press the LOW key (16). Use the inc/dec arrows to set the desired
level.
3. To exit the Preset mode, press the PRES key (7) until its LED is green (power/watts
displayed) or not lit (volts displayed).
4. Press the LEVEL key (9) to select the desired level CV mode. When the LED is lit, the
high level is selected; when the LED is not lit, low level is selected.
5. Press the LOAD key (8) to toggle the load off or on. Press the LEVEL key (9) at any time
to switch between the settings. The current can be changed at any time using the inc/dec
arrows. The value set can be viewed by pressing the PRES key.
CP Mode
CP mode can be either static (fixed DC level) or dynamic (two levels with timing and current
slew rates programmed). Dynamic mode is described next. In static mode, two levels can be
set to allow for quick switching between two current levels.
1. Press the MODE key (3), until the CP LED (3) is lit.
2. Press the PRES key (7) to view the programmed values. The high level must be higher
than the low level; in setting the values below, the load will not allow the HIGH level to be
lower than the LOW level.
a. To set the high level, press the HIGH key (16). Use the inc/dec arrows to set the desired
level.
b. To set the low level, press the LOW key (16). Use the inc/dec arrows to set the desired
level.
3. To exit the Preset mode, press the PRES key (7) until its LED is green (power/watts
displayed) or not lit (volts displayed).
