①
Colour Touch Screen Display
CAUTION
Do not use sharp objects or pointed objects to operate the touch screen.
②
Power Switch
Power Switch is located in the bottom left-hand corner. Press to start the unit.
CAUTION
When instrument is in Standby mode, Mains is still present.
③
Numeric Keypad
Numeric keys permit direct entry of a value for the parameter currently selected.
④
Escape Key/Local/OK
Entry can be abandoned at any point by pressing the ESCAPE key. It will also exit the selection or
screen currently selected. This key is also used to clear output trip conditions, together with their pop-
ups. Additionally, when in remote mode, this key is used to return the instrument to local operation.
The OK key is used to confirm a selection.
⑤
Remote Sense Terminals
Allows the user to adjust the voltage at the point of the load. The instrument has a very low output
impedance, but this is inevitably increased by the resistance of the connecting leads and the contact
resistance between terminals and leads. At high currents, this can result in significant differences
between the indicated source voltage and the actual load voltage (even two 2m
Ω
connecting leads will
drop 0·2V at 50 Amps, for instance). This problem can be minimised by using short, thick, connecting
leads, but where necessary it can be completely overcome by using the remote sense capability.
