Mounting procedure
1. Turn on the POWER switch.
2. While pressing the CURRENT/VOLT. LIMIT switch, set the output level
to a desired value. Here, a rough presetting is acceptable.
3. Use the supplied allen wrench to remove an output setting knob that is to
be replaced with a guard cap.
4. While pressing the CURRENT/VOLT. LIMIT switch, set the output level
to a desired value by using a slotted-head screwdriver.
• To fix presetting
5. Mount the guard cap, instead of the removed knob.
6. Press the CURRENT/VOLT. LIMIT switch again to confirm the
presetting is not changed.
• To semi-fix presetting
5. As shown in Fig. 3-4, pierce the guard cap top with a phillips-head
screwdriver.
6. Mount the guard cap, instead of the removed knob.
Since the guard cap is pierced, the output level may be readjusted using a
slotted-head screwdriver.
