Turning the Unit On

After you have connected the power cord, press the On/Standby key to turn the unit on. The front panel display
lights up after a few seconds. When the front panel meter view appears, use the Voltage and Current knobs to enter
voltage and current values. Output 1 is selected by default.

Press one of the three

[On]

keys to enable an individual output. In meter view, the power supply continuously

measures and displays the output voltage and current of each output.

A power-on self-test occurs automatically when you turn the unit on. This assures you that the instrument is
operational. If self-test fails, or if other operating problems occur with your instrument, the front panel error
indicator (

!Err

) appears at the upper top of the display.
