INITIAL SETUP menu
Figure 5-20: INITIAL SETUP Menus
Any time the power source is powered up, the output will reflect the values stored as the INITIAL setup
values. This allows the unit to be powered up in a known state at all times. The INITIAL values can be set
in the INITIAL SETUP menus.
The initial setup can be used to power up the power source with the output on and a high voltage present
at the output. For normal situations, this is not recommended due to the potential danger to the operator. It
is recommended that the initial voltage be set low and/or the output relay be programmed to OFF for most
situations.
The following fields are provided in the INITIAL SETUP menus:
Entry Description
INITIAL SETUP 1
VOLTAGE
Sets the power-on AC voltage for AC and AC+DC modes or the DC
voltage for DC mode.
CURR LIMIT
Sets the power-on current limit value.
FREQ Sets
the
power-on frequency value.
PHASE
Sets the power-on frequency for phase A with respect to an external
sync signal. If the internal oscillator is used (default) this setting has
no effect.
INITIAL SETUP 2
VOLT RANGE
Sets the power-on voltage range value.
VOLT MODE
Sets the power-on voltage mode. Available settings are AC mode, DC
mode or AC+DC mode.
OL MODE
Sets the power-on overload mode. Available settings are Constant
Current (CC) or Constant Voltage (CV) mode.
OUTPUT RELAY
Sets the power-on state of the output relay. Available settings are ON
or OFF.
INITIAL SETUP 3
VOLT SENSE
Sets the power-on state of the voltage sense mode. Available settings
are Internal (INT) or External (EXT).
