Introduction
This precision series of switch mode laboratory DC power supplies are ideal for test, measurement and service applications where tight
voltage and current regulation are critical. Highly efficient switch mode design delivers outstanding performance from an extremely
compact footprint. Unique separate output ON/OFF control allows voltage and current setting, with the supply output turned off.
Features:
• Backlit four digit LCD display
• Simultaneous display of voltage and current
• Auto selecting constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) modes
• Ultra quiet convection cooling
• Short circuit, overload, over voltage and thermal protection
• 84% efficiency at maximum output
• RoHs compliant
