Set the Over-Voltage Protection
The over-voltage protection will turn the output off if the output voltage reaches the programmed
over-voltage limit. The OVP circuit monitors the voltage at the + and – sense terminals. Note that an
OVP shutdown will automatically occur if the + and – sense leads are accidentally shorted to each
other.

Select Protect\OVP
Enter a value in the OVP level box. Then press Select.
To set the OVP level to 50 volts:
Set the Over-Current Protection
Enable OCP
When over-current protection is enabled, the power supply turns off the output if the output current
reaches the current limit setting and transitions from constant voltage (CV) to current limit (CL+ or CL-)
mode.

Select Protect\OCP
Check Enable OCP. Then press Select.
To enable OCP:
Delay OCP
You can specify an OCP delay to prevent momentary output settings, load, and status changes from
tripping the over-current protection. In most cases these momentary conditions would not be
considered an over-current protection fault, and having an OCP condition disable the output when
they occur would be a nuisance. Specifying an OCP delay lets the OCP circuit ignore these momentary
changes during the specified delay period. Once the OCP delay time has expired and the over-current
condition persists, the output will shut down.
The following selections are available to start the over-current delay timer:
Settings Change this starts the over-current delay whenever a command changes the output
settings. It includes changes made by the transient system so that the timer is started at each list step
and at each Arb output change. It also includes voltage and current slew changes, so that the timer is
restarted throughout the entire slew time.
Current Limit starts the over-current delay timer by any transition of the output into current limit mode.
The delay can be programmed from 0 to 0.255 seconds. You can specify if the OCP delay timer is
started by any transition of the output into CC mode, or only at the end of a settings change in voltage,
current, or output state.
