Verification steps
1. Set the front panel according to Default Settings, page7 and
turn OFF the Electronic Load output.
2. Connect the Multimeter and Electronic Load to CH1 and turn
ON the Output Switch.
3. Turn up Voltage Control and Current Control to full.
4. (Tracking Parallel only) Set the Tracking Switch to
Parallel .
5. Turn ON the Electronic Load output. Set the output value
according to the table on the previous page.
6. Check the AC Selector on the rear panel for Power Supply
Voltage Rating. Set AC Power to Rating value -10%, 50Hz.
(for 230V, -6%, 50Hz).
7. Record the Multimeter readout (AC Voltage) as Ripple Voltage.
8. Repeat step 7 for AC Power -10%, 60Hz (for 230V, -6%, 50Hz)
/ +10%, 50Hz/ +10%, 60Hz.
9. Pick up the largest value of the four as Ripple Voltage.
10. Switch the GPS connection to the next channel and turn ON
the Output Switch.
11. Repeat step 3 to 10 for CH2, CH3, CH4, and Tracking Parallel
(Connect to CH1).
