Functions
Multi Setting Function
Memorize three voltage and current settings in addition to the standard preset values.
There is no need to readjust the output when switching between different settings, making it a convenient function for production line inspections or experiments that require frequent parameter changes.
Sink Current Suppression
Sink Current Suppression: This function prevents reverse current from flowing back from the load (e.g., batteries or large capacitors) to the power supply. This protects the load from unintended discharge when the output is OFF or the voltage is set lower.
The sink function does not stabilize the reverse current. If the reverse current exceeds the rated voltage (e.g., with inductive loads or regenerative motors), connect a dummy resistor or a blocking diode to protect the unit.
Two Mode Lock Function
Two modes are available: "Full Lock," which locks all front panel operations, and "Standard Lock," which locks all operations except for OUTPUT ON/OFF.
Full Lock: Locks all functions to prevent accidental operation during control processes.
Standard Lock: Locks the voltage and current dials to prevent accidental setting changes, while allowing for emergency output shutdown.
(In both modes, an emergency stop is possible with Power Switch.)
Full Lock
Lock all the functions other than reset lock mode, and effective for the purpose to avoid mis-operation when controlled.
Standard Lock
Lock voltage and current setting dial, and effective for the purpose to avoid changing output setting by mistake or when easy emergency stop is required.
Remote Control Functions
External output ON/OFF
* +S is common. The external control voltage shall be input with +S as a reference. Otherwise, it can cause failure.
Remote sensing
Compensates for voltage drops (V0-VL) across the output leads, ensuring precise voltage regulation directly at the load terminals. (maximum 0.5 V)
