VIII — OPERATION.
Additional features covered in the Operator Manual
are: Quick Boot (eliminating the power- up displays),
use of the internal relay, operation via the LAN inter-
face or analog signals and setting coarse/fine
adjustment preference of the VOLTAGE and CUR-
RENT controls. An Installation/Operation Summary
is also included in the Operator Manual. The Opera-
tor Manual also covers the GPIB, Ethernet and RS
232 interfaces, including the use of the drivers

TURNING THE POWER SUPPLY ON.
CAUTION:
DO NOT repeatedly toggle the cir-
cuit breaker/switch as this may
damage the unit.
Set POWER ON/OFF circuit breaker/switch on front
panel to ON. If actuator does not lock when
released, wait a few seconds before trying again.
The circuit breaker is “trip-free” design; if overload
exists, contacts cannot be held closed by actuator.
•
When the power supply is turned on, it per-
forms a brief self-test that includes testing the
three processors (analog, interface and dis-
play), then displays the power-up screen (see
Figure 5). If an error is detected, the FAULT
indicator will light, information about the error
will be briefly displayed on the LCD.
•
If the unit powers up in REMOTE mode, press
