Voltage adjustment 2 382200 and 382202 V3.1 07/06 Operation CAUTION: Verify that the AC voltage setting matches your power source BEFORE applying power to the instruments. Do not connect to a voltage source that is greater. CAUTION: Limit full load operation (>25watts for the 382200 and >45watts for the 382202) to 15 minutes continuous operation. Always allow a cool down period after full load operation. 1. The Power Supply must be powered using the rated line voltage within +10%. 2. Before turning the power supply ON, remove any load and set the Voltage and Current Adjustment Knobs to their full counter-clockwise positions. 3. Use the Current and Voltage Adjustment knobs for setting variable Current and Voltage output signals respectively. 4. The LCD displays will indicate actual current and voltage outputs. 5. Keep the meter's cooling vents (top and sides) clear of obstacles to prevent overheating. Current Limit To avoid having the load draw too much current, a current limit can be set as follows: With the voltage and current output adjustments set fully off, carefully short the positive and negative output terminals together. Turn the Output Voltage knob clockwise to the 25% position (approx). Adjust the Output Current knob clockwise until the desired current level is displayed. Turn the Output Voltage knob counter-clockwise (current display will go to 0.00). Connect a load to the output terminals and adjust the voltage to the desired level.
