Voltage (Display) Setting
When the system is in RESET (Standby) or the TEST (Output ON) mode, you can
adjust the voltage value. There are two ranges: high and low. The low voltage range
is 0 – 150V and the high range is 0 – 300V.
Voltage Display
︿
and
﹀
Buttons
Pressing the
︿
or
﹀
Voltage Display buttons causes the value to increase/decrease
one step every 0.3 seconds. Holding a button "in" causes the rate of change to
accelerate. After a voltage adjustment has been completed, and the voltage selection
remains unchanged for 2 seconds, the voltage display will flash once. The unit will
memorize the current voltage setting. The system then exits the voltage-setting mode.
NOTE: If you have a series of tests, and any of those tests requires a voltage in
excess of 150V, you must start your test sequence in the high voltage mode. The
unit does not automatically switch from the 150V to the 300V range. Although
the unit's rated maximum power is available in either voltage range, the
maximum current in the 300V range is one-half that in the 150V range.
Voltage Display High / Low Output Range Button
To switch between the high and low range, press the voltage range button (located
beneath the 0 – 150V and 0 – 300V LEDs. In the low range, the voltage can be set
between 0 – 150V. Available current capacity is higher, thus maintaining full power
