5.2 Specifying the Main Setting and Polarity
Procedure
Specifying the Main Setting
Turn the
main setting
dials to set the source voltage, current, or resistance.
The main setting display shows the specified voltage, current, or resistance.
Setting the Polarity
Flip the
POLARITY
switch up or down to set the polarity.
Example of setting 1.5000 A
Unit
Use each main setting dial to set the corresponding digit value,
shown by the frames.
Carrying over and borrowing occurs automatically within the
selectable range.

Explanation
Selectable Range
The selectable range and resolution of each range are as follows. For detailed specifications, see
section 16.1.
• If you do not change the range setting, you can change the main setting and polarity even while the
output is on.
• You cannot set the polarity to negative in the 30 A range.
• The polarity setting is invalid in the resistance range.

When a voltage greater than or equal to +150 V or less than or equal to –150 V is to be output,
beeps will be generated. For details on how to turn the beep on and off, see section 8.2.
