I can not turn on the output (the Output key does not respond). |
The following scenarios are possible:The following scenarios are possible:
• The rear panel remote control terminal is in the Off position. In this case, set it to the On position or deactivate remote control. For details, please refer see our user manual page39.
• The OVP setting switch on the rear panel is on the SET side. In this case, set the switch to the Normal side.
•The OVP indicator is red. In this case, change the OVP setting to higher value or remove the over voltage condition.
*Note that in several conditions, the Output key automatically turns Off to avoid harmful condition. For details, please refer our user manual.

How to use auto running operation? |
Auto Running Operation The function must be used together with the DELAY setting which is defined as the operation delay time of next running operation. The Delay function is workable only under Auto Running operation. Auto Running Operation The function must be used together with the DELAY setting which is defined as the operation delay time of next running operation. The Delay function is workable only under Auto Running operation.
1)Delay time setting: Press [DELAY] to set the panel operation to Delay time setting selection.
2)The setting and store of very group of data: A group setting includes the Output range, Output voltage value, Output current value, Over Voltage protection level, Over Current protection level, Over Voltage status (ON/OFF), and Delay time. User can proceed the setting and store it to the memory bank group by group up to 100 groups maximum.
3)Recall range setting (Auto running operation range): Regarding the setting description, please refer to AUTO RANGE operation.
4)Enter AUTO mode by pressing [AUTO], now, the operation is in the auto running function by pressing [OUTPUT].
5)Under this mode, press [SHIFT][AUTO INFO] can monitor the current operation setting address and operation time.

The actual output is much higher than the setting. |
The remote sensing (Please refer our user manual) compensates for the cable loss for up to 0.5V. If the output level goes much higher, the remote sensing terminal might be disconnected. Make sure the connection is secure. Please refer our user manual page32 for details.

What is line regulation and load regulation? |
Line regulation and load regulation are two important specifications that are used to measure the performance of voltage regulators.
Line regulation refers to the ability of a voltage regulator to maintain a constant output voltage, despite variations in the input voltage or the supply voltage. In other words, it measures how well the regulator can regulate the output voltage when the input voltage is changing. Line regulation is typically expressed as a percentage of the output voltage per unit change in the input voltage. For example, a regulator with a line regulation specification of 0.1% per volt means that for every 1 volt change in the input voltage, the output voltage will change by no more than 0.1%.
Load regulation, on the other hand, refers to the ability of a voltage regulator to maintain a constant output voltage, despite changes in the load current. In other words, it measures how well the regulator can regulate the output voltage when the load is changing. Load regulation is typically expressed as a percentage of the output voltage per unit change in the load current. For example, a regulator with a load regulation specification of 0.5% per amp means that for every 1 amp change in the load current, the output voltage will change by no more than 0.5%.
Both line and load regulation are important specifications for voltage regulators, as they can affect the stability and reliability of electronic circuits that rely on a constant and stable voltage supply.

Can you run a house on DC power? |
In theory, it is possible to run a house on DC (direct current) power. However, it would require a significant overhaul of the existing electrical infrastructure in the house.
Most homes are wired for AC (alternating current) power, which means that all the electrical appliances and devices in the house are designed to run on AC power. In order to run a house on DC power, all of the electrical wiring and devices would need to be modified to accept DC power.
Additionally, most of the electrical energy produced by power stations is transmitted as AC power, so if you wanted to power your house using DC power, you would need to generate your own DC power using solar panels or other alternative energy sources. This would require a significant investment in equipment and installation costs.
Overall, while it is technically possible to run a house on DC power, it would require a significant amount of work and investment to make the switch from AC power to DC power.

What is AC and DC power supply? |
AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) are two different types of electrical power supplies.
AC power supply provides electrical energy that periodically changes direction, meaning that the voltage and current regularly reverses direction. This type of power supply is commonly used in homes and buildings to power electrical devices, as well as in the distribution of electrical power over long distances. AC power is usually generated by electric power stations using rotating machines such as turbines or generators.
DC power supply provides electrical energy that flows in one direction, meaning that the voltage and current remain constant in one direction. This type of power supply is used in many electronic devices and systems, as well as in transportation, such as electric cars, buses, and trains. DC power can be obtained from batteries, solar panels, or DC power supplies.
The main difference between AC and DC power is the direction and frequency of the voltage and current. While AC power periodically changes direction, DC power remains constant in one direction. AC power is more commonly used for power transmission, while DC power is more commonly used for electronic devices and systems.
