5. LOCAL OPERATION
5.1. Introduction
This Chapter describes the operating modes that are not involved in programming and
monitoring the Power Supply via DIgital communication (RS-232/RS-485, LAN, IEEE,
USB) or by Remote Analog signals. Ensure that the REM/LOC LED on the front panel is
Off, indicating Local mode. If the REM/LOC LED is On, press the front panel REM/LOC
button to change the operating mode to Local.

For information regarding Remote Analog Programming, refer to Chapter 7.
−
For information regarding usage of the serial communication port, refer to Chapter 8.
5.2. Standard Operation
The Power Supply has two basic operating modes: Constant-Voltage mode and Constant
-Current mode. The mode in which the Power Supply operates at any given time
depends on the Output voltage setting, Output current limit setting and the load
resistance.
5.2.1. Constant Voltage Mode
a) In Constant-Voltage mode, the power supply regulates the Output voltage at the
selected value, while the load current varies as required by the load.
b) While the Power Supply operates in Constant-Voltage mode, the VOLTAGE LED
on the front panel is illuminated.
c) Adjustment of the Output voltage can be made when the Power Supply output is
Enabled (Output On) or Disabled (Output Off). When the output is enabled, simply
rotate the VOLTAGE encoder knob to program the Output voltage. When the
output is disabled, press the PREV button and then rotate the VOLTAGE encoder
knob. The VOLTAGE meter will show the programmed Output voltage for 5
seconds after the adjustment has been completed. Then the VOLTAGE meter will
display “OFF”.
d) Adjustment resolution can be set to coarse or fine resolution. Press the FINE
button to select between the lower and higher resolution. The FINE LED turns On
when the resolution is set to FINE.
NOTE
If after completing the adjustment, the display shows a different value than
the setting, the Power Supply may be at current limit. Check the load
condition and the Power Supply current limit setting.
NOTE
The maximum and minimum setting values of the Output voltage are limited
by the Over Voltage protection and Under Voltage limit setting. Refer to
