WARNING
To avoid electric shock, ensure that the instrument is correctly grounded.
Power-on Inspection
DP700 series power supply supports various specifications of AC input power. When the DP700 series is connected with different AC power supplies, the AC selector setting on the rear panel of the instrument is different, as shown in the table below.
Table 1 AC Input Power Specification and AC Selector Setting
Please strictly follow the steps below to connect the instrument to the power supply, and perform the power-on inspection and output inspection.
1 Check the input power
Ensure that the AC power to be connected to the instrument conforms to the AC input power requirement specified in Table 1.
2 Check the AC selector
Ensure that the AC selector setting on the rear panel of the instrument matches with the actual AC input power (refer to Table 1).
3 Check the fuse
When leaving the factory, the instrument has installed a fuse that conforms to the local standard. When the input voltage is 100 Vac or 120 Vac, Fuse T5A is used; when the input voltage is 220 Vac or 240 Vac, Fuse T2.5A is used.
4 Connect the AC power
Plug the specified power cord available in the accessories into the AC power supply connector of the instrument, and then connect the instrument to the properly grounded AC power.

5 Power on the instrument
Tip
After powering off the instrument, please wait for at least 2 s to power it on again.
Press the Power key , and then the instrument is launched and begins to perform the self-inspection. If the instrument passes the self-inspection, the welcome interface is displayed; otherwise, self-inspection failure information about corresponding items (including the analog board, OVP, OCP, fan, and temperature) will be displayed.
6 Perform the output check
Perform the output check to ensure that the power supply can output the rated values and properly respond to the operations on the front panel.
Note: Before checking the current output, you should complete the voltage output check first.
Check the voltage output: verify the basic voltage functions without a load.
(1) Press to power off the instrument. (2) Ensure that no load is connected to the channel output terminals on
the front panel. Then, press to power on the instrument, and check whether the voltage between the positive terminal (+) and negative terminal (-) of the channel output is 0 V.
(3) Press On/Off to turn on the channel output.
At this time, the actual output status (actual output voltage (V), actual output current (A), and actual output power (W)) on the left section of the interface is highlighted, and the actual output mode (CV) is displayed.
(4) Set the output voltage to 0 V (For setting methods, refer to the
descriptions of the help information below the interface or descriptions on Page 11.), and check whether the actual output voltage displayed on the left section of the interface is approximately 0 V, the actual output current approximately 0 A. Set the output voltage to 30 V (max. rating value), and check whether the actual

output voltage is approximately 30 V, the actual output current approximately 0 A.
(5) Press On/Off to turn off the channel output.
Check the current output: verify the basic current functions with a short across the power supply’s output.
(1) Connect a short across the positive terminal (+) and negative
terminal (-) of the channel output with an insulated test lead (18 AWG), and then press On/Off to turn on the channel output. At this time, the actual output status (actual output voltage (V), actual output current (A), and actual output power (W)) on the left section of the interface is highlighted, and the actual output mode is displayed. (Note that the actual output mode is determined by the resistance of the test lead.)
(2) Set the output voltage to 2 V (For setting methods, refer to the
descriptions of the help information displayed below the interface or refer to the descriptions on Page 11.) and ensure the output mode to be CC.
(3) Set the output current to 0 A (For setting methods, refer to the
descriptions of the help information below the interface or descriptions on Page 11.), and check whether the actual output current displayed on the left section of the interface is approximately 0 A, the actual output voltage approximately 0 V. Set the output current to 5 A (max. rating value), and check whether the actual output current is approximately 5 A (the actual output voltage indicates the voltage drop arising from the test lead).
(4) Press On/Off to turn off the channel output.

Remote Control
DP700 series power supply can be connected to the PC via the RS232 interface to set up communication and realize remote control through the PC. The remote control can be realized by using SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) commands. DP700 series power supply supports two ways of remote control: user-defined programming and PC software (e.g. RIGOL Ultra Sigma).
When the instrument is in remote control, the icon is displayed on the user
interface. The keys on the front panel are locked (except , On/Off, and
). At this time, you can press to exit the remote mode.
