How do I view/change the virtual model settings?

 See PAR. 3.2.6 for description of virtual model. 

If status shows SET, exit set-

point mode (tap either knob once).

 Use thin tool to press FUNCTION once; status reads VIRT. VOLTS and AMPS displays show the 

maximum voltage and current of the present virtual model. 

If no change

, exit function mode (see above). To change, press DC OUT-

PUT once. Status shows PASS (password). Enter password 

(see above)

 and tap DC OUTPUT to accept. When password is 

accepted, status reads VIRT, VOLTS and AMPS displays blink. To change setting rotate Voltage and Current knobs until VOLTS and 
AMPS displays show desired virtual model settings. (Press and hold knob in while turning for fine adjustment.) Press DC OUTPUT to 
accept virtual model settings. Unit displays DONE, then resets and repeats power on sequence.

How do I view/change overvoltage and overcurrent protection limits?

 See PAR.3.2.6 for description of protection limits. 

If status 

reads SET, tap either knob to exit setpoint mode

. To view protection limits, use a thin tool to press and hold PROTECT until status 

reads PROT, VOLTS and AMPS displays show the protection limits; to change limits, while continuing to hold PROTECT in, adjust 
OVP and OCP limits using the Voltage and Current knobs. When PROTECT released, values showing in VOLTS and AMPS displays 
are the new protection limits.

REMOTE ANALOG OPERATING MODE INSTRUCTIONS

How do I enable analog operating mode?

 Connect ANALOG_CTRL (pin 12) to GROUND (pin 9, 11, 13, or 15) of analog port prior 

to power-up to enable remote analog programming for that session. Remote analog control is indicated by "aREM" in status display. 

The status of ANALOG_CTRL is sensed at power-up only

. Enabling analog operating mode disables the local operating controls on 

the front panel. (see PAR. 3.4).

How do I enable or disable the output?

 Connect REM_INH (pin 8) to GROUND (pin 9, 11, 13, or 15) of analog port to disable 

power supply output, open the connection to enable the output (see PAR. 3.4.1). The DC OUTPUT control on the front panel remains 
active in remote analog programming mode. 

How do I adjust voltage and current setpoints using an external voltage source?

 Set analog I/O DIP switch positions 1 and 2 up 

(factory default position) to use external voltage control of voltage and current, respectively. Full-scale programming voltage is factory 
set at 10V; to alter full-scale value see PAR. 3.2.13.6. Apply a 0-10V signal from Vref (pin 1) and Cref (pin 3) to GROUND (pin 9, 11, 
13, or 15) of analog port to adjust the setpoint values for output voltage and current proportionally between minimum and maximum 
virtual model limits. 

Programming input pins are only active when analog port is enabled.

 (See PAR. 3.4.3 for details.)

How do I adjust voltage and current setpoints using an external resistance?

 Set analog I/O DIP switch positions 1 and 2 down 

to use external resistance for remote analog programming of voltage and current, respectively. Full-scale programming resistance is 
factory set at 10KOhms; to alter full-scale value see PAR. 3.2.13.6 and use 1000 ohms per volt scale factor. Apply a 0-10KOhm resis-
tance from Vref (pin 1) and Cref (pin 3) to GROUND (pin 9, 11, 13, or 15) of analog port to adjust the setpoint values for output volt-
age and current proportionally between minimum and maximum virtual model limits. 

Programming inputs are only active when analog 

port is enabled. 

(See PAR. 3.4.2 for details.)

How do I Read back operating voltage and current?

 Analog signals proportional to actual output voltage and current levels are 

available at VOLT_RBACK (pin 6) and CURR_RBACK (pin 7) of analog I/O port. Full-scale signal level is the same as that for full 
scale programming. Readback signals are always available at analog port, even if analog programming is not enabled. 

How do I exit remote analog programming mode?

 Simultaneously depressing and releasing both Voltage and Current knobs 

forces the unit to exit remote analog programming mode and return to local operating mode; this can also be done by sending any 
command or query via the remote digital inputs. To restore remote analog control cycle source power OFF for five seconds then 
restart.

REMOTE DIGITAL OPERATING MODE INSTRUCTIONS

How do I enable digital operating mode?

 Sending any digital command or query via either the GPIB, LAN or RS 232 port immedi-

ately sets the unit in remote digital operating mode and disables the local operating controls on the front panel. For details on com-
mand formatting and communication protocols see PAR. 3.3.

How do I exit remote digital programming mode? 

Simultaneously depressing and releasing both Voltage and Current knobs will 

force the unit to exit remote digital programming mode and return to local operating mode. Remote digital control is reactivated upon 
transmission of any digital command or query by the control (host) computer.

How do I view/change the GPIB address?

 The factory default GPIB address is 6. Using a thin tool, press FUNCTION once; status 

reads VIRT. Rotate Voltage or Current knob until status reads ADDR; the active GPIB address shows in AMPS display. To exit, 
rotate Voltage or Current knob till status reads EXIT then tap DC OUTPUT. To change, tap DC OUTPUT: AMPS display blinks. 
Rotate Current knob to change address and tap DC OUTPUT to accept; display flashes DONE then ADDR. See above to exit.

How do I view/change RS 232 baud rate? [-1200 Models Only]

 The factory default RS 232 baud rate is 38400. Using a thin tool, 

press FUNCTION once; status reads VIRT. Rotate Voltage or Current knob until status reads BAUD; AMPS display shows active 
baud rate x 1000 (e.g., 38400 is displayed as 38.4). To exit, rotate Voltage or Current knob till status reads EXIT then tap DC OUT-
PUT. To change, tap DC OUTPUT: AMPS display blinks. Rotate Current knob to change baud rate and tap DC OUTPUT to accept; 
display flashes DONE then BAUD. See above to exit. See PAR. 3.3.1.2 for additional RS 232 parameters. 

How do I set up the LAN interface?

 

[-1.2K Models Only]

 See PAR. 3.2.12 and refer to KLP Developer’s Guide.

How do I operate the KLP using web pages via the LAN interface?

 

[-1.2K Models Only]

 See PAR. 3.3.6 and refer to KLP Devel-

oper’s Guide. Use the PSfind program (on CD supplied) to locate KLP(s) functioning on the LAN. Highlight the unit and click Launch 
Web Page. Click OPERATE INSTRUMENT. Simulated front panel shows status of voltage, current, output on/off, and operating 
mode (CV or CC). Operating functions supported from Operate Instrument page: Set output on/off and output voltage/current (PAR. 
3.3.6.5.1), overvoltage/overcurrent protection (PAR. 3.3.6.5.2), save/recall (PAR. 3.3.6.5.3), reset (PAR. 3.3.6.5.4), list (PAR. 
3.3.6.5.5) and virtual model (PAR. 3.3.6.5.6). Click CONFIGURE LAN to change LAN addresses or set up LAN passwords (PAR. 
3.3.6.3). Click ID INSTRUMENT to flash physical LAN indicator on KLP.
