Disabling the Output

The output of the power supply can be disabled or enabled from the front panel.

• When the power supply is in the “Off” state, the

OFF

annunciator turns on and

the output is disabled. The

OFF

annunciator turns off when the power supply

returns to the “On” state. When the output is disabled, the voltage value is 0

volts and the current value is 0.02 amps.

volatile

when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.

resolution selection keys, and adjust selection key are still working. If the

display is in the meter mode, you cannot see the changes of output

voltage and current settings on the display when turning the knob. To see

or check the changes when the outputs are disabled, the display should be

in the limit mode.
