5.6.3 Set Voltage/Current/Power Limit Range
The maximum voltage, current and power of the power supply ranges from
minimum to full-rated output range. You can setting maximum and minimum
values of power supply voltage/current/power in the protection menu. When limit
setting is finished, the voltage setting value, current setting value and power
setting value can only be set within the maximum and minimum limits.
Limit factory setting is the rated output voltage/current/power of corresponding
