Constant Voltage Operation
To set up the power supply for constant voltage (CV) operation, proceed as
follows.
• Front-panel operation:
1 Connect a load to the output terminals.
With power-off, connect a load to the (+) and (-) output terminals.
2 Turn on the power supply.
The power supply will go into the power-on / reset state; the output is disabled
(the
OFF
annunciator turns on); its low voltage range is selected (annunciator
for the range presently selected turns on, for example, the
8V
annunciator turns
on for the E3640A model); and the knob is selected for voltage control.
Press to operate the power supply in the high voltage range before
proceeding to the next step. The
20V
or
60V
annunciator turns on depending
on which power supply you are using.
3 Set the display to the limit mode.
Notice that the
Limit
annunciator flashes, indicating that the display is in the
limit
mode. When the display is in the
limit
mode, you can see the voltage and
current limit values of the power supply.
4 Adjust the knob for the desired current limit.
Check that the Limit annunciator still flashes. Set the knob for current control.
The flashing digit can be changed using the resolution selection keys and the
flashing digit can be adjusted by turning the knob. Adjust the knob to the
desired current limit.

You can use the resolution selection keys to move the flashing digit to the
right or left when setting current.
In
constant voltage
mode, the voltage values between the meter and
limit modes are the same, but the current values are not. Moreover, if the
display is in the meter mode, you cannot see the change of current limit
value when adjusting the knob. We recommend that you should set the
display to “limit” mode to see the change of current limit value in the
constant voltage mode whenever adjusting the knob.
