Constant Current Output
In constant current output mode, the output current equals the current setting value
and the output voltage is determined by the load. This section introduces the
operation method in constant current output mode.
Operation Method:
1. Connect the channel output terminals
Connect the load with the channel output terminals of the corresponding
channel at the front panel by referring to “Connect the channel output
terminals” in “Constant Voltage Output”.
2. Turn on the power switch to start the instrument.
3. Select the channel
Select the proper output channel according to the desired output current. Press
the corresponding channel selection key; at this point, this channel, its channel
number and output state are high-lighted in the center of the screen.
4. Set the voltage
Press Voltage to set the desired voltage according to “Set the voltage” in
“Constant Voltage Output”.
5. Set the current
Press Current to set the desired current according to “Set the current” in
“Constant Voltage Output”.
6. Set the overvoltage protection
Press OVP to set the proper overvoltage protection value (for the setting
method, refer to “Set the voltage” in “Constant Voltage Output”). Then,
enable the overvoltage protection function (you can enable or disable the OVP
function by pressing OVP) and the output will be turned off automatically when
the actual output voltage is greater than the overvoltage protection value.
7. Turn on the output
Turn on the output of the corresponding channel and the actual output voltage,
output current, output power as well as the output mode (CC) are high-lighted
in the user interface.
Warning
To avoid electric shock, please turn on the output switch after the
output terminals are correctly connected.
