MAIN 

Setting an output: 

Use the LEFT & RIGHT buttons to select the 
digit you want to change then press the  UP or 
DOWN to change the digit. 

 

The digit selected is indicated with an 
underscore underneath. 

 

 

Output Protection: 

The voltage monitor detects when the output has been overloaded or subject to a 
short circuit. The unit will immediately reduce the output to 0Vc (approx.) and display 
an 

“ERR” message on the LCD. When the problem is resolved the unit will recover 

back to normal. 

Best Stability: 

For the most accurate and stable output it is highly recommended to run the unit from 
the batteries with no external DC power input. This helps avoids any ground loop 
noise entering the system. 
 

Screen Messages: 

“CHG”  

Batteries are charging (also displays the charge current). 

“FULL”  

Batteries are now fully charged. 

“OVER” 

The Battery charge current exceeded the maximum allowable. 

“OK”   

The main voltage output is functioning and is accurate. 

“ERR”   

An irregularity has been detected on the main voltage output, 

 

 

 

e.g. an external short circuit or over-current may have pulled 

 

 

 

the output low. 

“BT”   

Running on Batteries 

“DC”   

Running on external DC supply 

“COMMS” 

Serial comms is active
