Caution
Risk of electric shock. Regardless of whether load cables are connected to
the output terminals, be sure to attach the OUTPUT terminal cover before turning the
POWER switch on.
You can use the CONFIG settings to set how the RMX programmable power supplies
start when you turn the POWER switch on. Depending on the setting, the output may
be turned on automatically when the POWER switch is turned on. If you connect a
load without setting OVP and OCP to appropriate values, the load may be damaged
if the output is programmed to automatically turn on when the power is switched on.
When you turn the POWER switch on for the first time after purchase, the RMX programmable
power supply will be programmed with its factory default settings. Refer to Chapter 2,
Default Settings (Initialization)
, for more information about these settings. Each subsequent
time you turn the power supply on, it starts with the panel settings (excluding the output on/off
setting) that were in use immediately before the POWER switch was turned off.
You can use the CONFIG setting CF02 to select how the RMX programmable power supply
starts when the POWER switch is turned on. Refer to Chapter 2,
, for more information about this setting.

Turn the POWER switch on. All the LEDs light, and then the voltmeter and the ammeter
display the following sequence of information: the rated voltage and rated current, the
firmware version number, the build number, and then the selected interface. Each item is
displayed for approximately 1 second. After a few seconds, the RMX programmable power
supply enters the operation standby state during which the output value is displayed.
