Adjust the knob for the desired output current.
1
Check that the Limit annunciator still blinks. Set the knob for current control.
The second digit of the ammeter will be blinking. Change the blinking digit
using the resolution selection keys and adjust adjust the knob to the desired
output current.

Return to the meter mode.
Press the key or let the display time-out after several seconds
to return the meter mode. Notice that the
Limit annunciator turns off and the

Enable the outputs.
The
OFF annunciator turns off and the 15V or 30V, OVP, OCP, and CC
annunciators are lit. Notice that the display is in the meter mode. In the meter
mode, the display shows the actual output voltage and current.

Verify that the power supply is in the constant current mode.
If you operate the power supply in the constant current (CC) mode, verify that
CC annunciator is lit. If the CV annunciator is lit, choose a higher voltage limit.
Note During actual CC operation, if a load change causes the voltage limit to be exceeded,
the power supply will automatically crossover to constant voltage mode at the preset
voltage limit and the output current will drop proportionately.
