3.17. Protective function

The load is provided with following protective functions: overvoltage protection

(OVP), over-current protection (OCP), over-power protection (OPP) and

If any one of the above protections is enabled, the load will have corresponding

actions. Press any key on the front board to reset protection functions. For

The load will be immediately OFF and the buzzer will sound if the overvoltage

circuit is triggered. OV and VF bits of the status register will be set and OVP will

be displayed on the screen of the load till resetting. In case of overvoltage

protection, the VF pin of the 8-pin connector on rear board of the load outputs

TTL high level and the VF pin can be used for controlling output status of the

power to be tested.

Clear overvoltage protection status:

Inspect whether voltage of object under test is within load rated voltage or set

protection voltage range. If not, disconnect the object. Press any key on front

board (or send command to PROTection:CLEar), the load front board (OVP)
