5.2. Adjusting the output current
Direct entry
Proceed as described to adjust the output current:
1.) Switch on the device.
2.) Press the [I] key. The LED display indicates 0.000 and the first digit flashes.
3.) By pressing the appropriate number keys to enter the desired current value.
4.) If an incorrect entry be carried out, use the [Del] key (Correction key), the previous entry is
rejected and you can repeat your entry.
5.) Pressing the [Enter] button will confirm and save the entry.
Example 1:
Setting 1.599 A
1.) Press the [I]-key.
2.) Sequentially press, the number keys [1][5][9][9] and then [ENTER] to save the entry or
…
3.) Press the [I]-key and then sequentially the number keys [1] [.] [5] [9] [9] and then press the
[ENTER] key to confirm and save the entry.
Example 2:
Setting 4.999 A
1.) Press the [I]-key.
2.) Sequentially press, the number keys [4][9][9][9] and then [ENTER] to save the entry or
…
3.) Press the [I]-key and then sequentially the number keys [4] [.] [9] [9] [9] and then press the
[ENTER] key to confirm and save the entry.
Entering the output current in 0.1A / 1A steps
Additionally, it is possible to change the output current using the numeric keys 4 and 9 to change the
current value in +/- 0.1A steps.
If the keys were pressed and hold, the output current will change the voltage level continuously in 0.1A
steps.
Use the number keys 5 and 0, the current value can change by +/- 1A.
If the keys were pressed and hold, the output current will change continuously in 1A steps.
