key to save changes and then press the “Exit” soft key two times to return to the Set 

screen.

2) Program a current Hi-Limit, which represents the constant current you will 

provide to the load.

From the Set screen,  press the “Edit” soft key.

In the next screen, the Edit Parameters menu, you can use the up or down arrow soft
