Constant Voltage Output
DP800A series power supply provides three output modes: constant voltage output
(CV), constant current output (CC) and critical mode (UR). In CV mode, the output
voltage equals the voltage setting value and the output current is determined by the
load; in CC mode, the output current equals the current setting value and the output
voltage is determined by the load; UR is the critical mode between CV and CC. This
section introduces the operation method in constant voltage output mode.
Operation Method:
1. Connect the channel output terminals
As shown in the figure below, connect the load to the output terminals of the
corresponding channel at the front panel.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the instrument or the device connected to it, pay
attention to the polarity when connecting.
2. Turn on the power switch to start the instrument.
3. Select the channel
Select the proper output channel according to the desired output voltage. Press
the corresponding channel selection key; at this point, this channel, its channel
number and output state are high-lighted on the screen.
4. Set the voltage
Method 1
Press Voltage and use the left/right direction key to move the cursor; then,
rotate the knob to quickly set the voltage and the default unit is V. After selecting
the digit to be set, you can also use the up/down direction key to modify the
value of the corresponding digit and the default unit is V.
Method 2
Press Voltage and use the numeric keyboard to directly input the desired
voltage value; press V or mV or the unit selection key (
or ) to select
the desired unit. Besides, you can also press OK to select the default unit (V).
