- Vire a AJISTE knob to set the desired voltage.
- Set Current Limit:
- Peze a VOLTAGE/KOURAN button until the current display is active.
- Sèvi ak la < epi > digit selector buttons to choose the digit.
- Vire a AJISTE knob to set the desired current limit.
- Konekte Chaj: Ensure the output is OFF (OUT indicator is off). Connect your device to the output terminals (+, -, GND).
- Aktive Sòti: Peze a OFF/ON button to enable the output. The OUT indicator will illuminate, and power will be supplied to your load.
Memory Functions (M1-M4):
The unit allows you to store and recall up to four sets of voltage ak anviwònman aktyèl yo.
- Enregistrement Paramètres:
- Mete vol la vletage ak aktyèl.
- Peze epi kenbe youn nan yo M1-M4 buttons for approximately 3 seconds until a beep sounds, indicating the settings are saved.
- Rapèl Anviwònman yo:
- Peze yon ti kras sou bouton ou vle a M1-M4 button. The stored voltage ak valè aktyèl yo pral chaje.
