5. OPERATION
5.1 SETTING OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT
Press the ON/OFF key to switch the output on or off. When switched on, the key lights up
green.
Press the I-SET key to set the output current value. Turn the rotary encoder to adjust the
value. Press the rotary encoder to move the cursor. Press and hold the I-SET key to
adjust the overcurrent protection value.
Press the V-SET key to adjust the output voltage value. Turn the rotary encoder to adjust
the value. Press the rotary encoder to move the cursor. Press and hold the V-SET key to
set the overvoltage protection value.
If the instrument is operated in constant current mode, the designation CC ("Constant
current") appears in the operating mode display (see Chapter 4 - Screen - E). In constant
voltage mode, the designation CV ("Constant voltage") appears instead.
If the device is operating normally, a check mark is displayed in the protection status
display (see Chapter 4 - Screen - F). If the actual current value exceeds the set over
current protection value, the label OCP ("Over current protection") will be displayed
instead. Should the current voltage value exceed the set over voltage protection value,
the designation OVP ("Over voltage protection") will be displayed instead. The output is
automatically switched off in these cases. If the system temperature exceeds 90°C, the
output is also switched off and the message OTP ("Over temperature protection") is
displayed.
5.2 DATA GROUPS
Press and hold the OK key to save the current values (output voltage, output current,
overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection) to the quick access memory. M1 is
selected as the default memory. Turn the rotary encoder to select an alternative
memory location and press OK to confirm saving to the selected memory location.
Press and hold the rotary encoder to open the quick access. Turn the rotary encoder to
select the desired memory location and confirm with OK to load the data from the
selected memory location.

5.3 SYSTEMSETTINGS
Press OK to open the system settings. Press the I-SET key to navigate down in the
menu. Press V-SET to navigate upwards. The selected setting can be changed using the
rotary encoder.
The following settings are available:
Language: Set the system language.
Mem. Output: in the off state, the current output state remains stored when loading a
setting from the quick memory. In the on state, the output is automatically switched on
when loading.
Boot Pow: Automatically sets the output state to Off or On when the device is started.
Logo: Displays the boot logo at device startup.
Sound: Sets the key sound to Off or On.
H. Light: Sets the backlight to a value between 0 and 5.
Upd. R.: Sets the output display update rate (voltage & current) to S(low), M(middle)
and H(high).
Max Power: Limits the maximum power to a value between 0 and 380 watts.
Temperature: Changes the temperature unit between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Rotate: Sets the display orientation to 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees.
Interface: Selects the available interface between USB, TTL, BT and RS485.
Attention! The BT interface is not included in our models and therefore not available.
Baud Rate: Sets the current baud rate.
Address: Sets the address to a value between 001 and 255.
5.4 DISPLAY-SETTINGS
Press the OK key to open the system settings and press the rotary encoder to enter the
settings for the display design. Here you can navigate with the V-SET and I-SET keys.
Digits Style: Selects the digits style between NORM, Seg1 and Seg2.
Custom Colors: Sets the preferred color for the respective value.
5.5 DATA STORAGE SETTINGS
Press the OK key to enter the system settings. Then press the rotary encoder twice to
enter the data memory settings. Use the V-SET and I-SET keys to select the memory
location that you want to edit. By pressing the rotary encoder, you can confirm the
selected memory location to edit the desired settings. During editing, the V-SET and
I-SET keys can be used to switch between the individual parameters.
5.6 SYSTEM INFORMATION
Press the OK key to enter the system settings. Then press the rotary encoder three
times to call up the system information. Here, the model, the serial number and the
installed firmware are available as information.
