Connecting Power:

1. Ensure the power switch on the front panel is in the "OFF" position.
2. Connect the provided power cord to the AC input socket on the rear of the power supply.
3. Plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded AC 110V, 60Hz power outlet.

Connecting Output:

1. Identify the positive (+) (red) and negative (-) (black) output terminals on the front panel.
2. Connect the provided output line to your load. Ensure correct polarity.
3. Tighten the terminal caps to secure the connections.

Operating Instructions

Front Panel Controls and Indicators:

• Digital Displays: Three displays show real-time Voltage (V), Current (A), and Power (W).
• V-COARSE / V-FINE: Knobs for coarse and fine adjustment of output voltage.
• A-COARSE / A-FINE: Knobs for coarse and fine adjustment of output current.
• C.V. (Constant Voltage) Indicator: Lights up when the unit is operating in constant voltage mode.
• C.C. (Constant Current) Indicator: Lights up when the unit is operating in constant current mode.
• ON/OFF Switch: Powers the unit on or off.
• Output Terminals: Red (+) for positive, Black (-) for negative.

Basic Operation:

1. Power On: Press the ON/OFF switch to turn on the power supply. The digital displays will illuminate.
2. Set Voltage: Use the V-COARSE and V-FINE knobs to set the desired output voltage. Observe the voltage display.
3. Set Current Limit: Use the A-COARSE and A-FINE knobs to set the desired current limit. This acts as a maximum current the supply will deliver.
4. Connect Load: Ensure your load is properly connected to the output terminals.
5. Operation Mode: The power supply will automatically switch between Constant Voltage (C.V.) and Constant Current (C.C.) modes depending on the load.
   • In C.V. mode, the output voltage remains constant, and the current varies according to the load.
   • In C.C. mode, the output current remains constant (at the set limit), and the voltage varies according to the load.
6. Power Off: Before disconnecting the load, turn off the power supply using the ON/OFF switch.
