How to Adjust the Voltage and Current (Manual Adjustment) 

 
The procedure below explains how to adjust the voltage and current if the manual Voltage and/or Current option is 
activated.  

 

 

 

 

 

Current adjustment only activated 

or 

Voltage adjustment activated  

   

 

 

   

(current adjustment activated or no). 

 

Starting from the main menu, select 

‘Cmnd’

 

 
 

 

 

Press 

‘Next’

 until the text ‘ADJUSTMENT’ is displayed and press 

‘Enter’

 

 
 
 
 

From this menu, the Voltage or Current adjustment can be selected. If one of these options is not active and the 
function is selected, a message 

‘SET. NOT ALLOWED’

 is displayed for two seconds. 

 
If you need to set the voltage, press 

‘Volts’

. If you need to set the current press 

‘Amps’

 
 
 
 
 

Left: display of setpoint value (change with up or down arrow key). 
Right: display of actual value (measurement). 
When you press the arrow up 

'

'

 the voltage or current increases. The arrow down 

'

'

 will decrease the voltage 

or current.  
The values are saved in the system memory ensuring the values are permanently stored. Adjustment Resolution 
is 1 decimal V or A <100 and no decimal for values >100.
