6.5 Remote Control Operation
There are two methods for remotely controlling current and voltage adjustments. Current must
be controlled for both methods otherwise the unit will default to CC mode.
6.5.1 REMOTE CONTROL – METHOD 1: Using two external DC voltage sources
Remote Socket Pin Assignment for external variable voltage source
PIN
FUNCTIONS
REMARKS
1
Internal DC +5V
Lower than 50mA
2
Voltage adjust
0 to 5V
3
Current adjust
0 to 5V
4
Ground
5
Output OFF
Short to ground

Check the output voltage range of the power supply by varying the external voltage source.
Short circuit the main output with
14AWG
wire to check the CC setting on the display while
varying the external voltage source.
6.5.2 REMOTE CONTROL – METHOD 2: Using two 0 to 5K Ohm variable resistors
Remote Socket Pin Assignment for external variable resistor
