Remote Sense: Eliminates up to 0.5V drop per lead. Remote sense operation selected
from front panel and indicated by LED
Sense Terminals: Recessed sprung sockets for direct insertion of wires
Duplicated on rear terminal block (P versions only)
OUTPUT PROTECTION
Output Protection: Output will withstand forward voltages of up to 20V above rated
output voltage. Reverse protection by diode clamp for currents
up to 3A.
Fault Condition Trip: The output will be shut down if any of the four trip conditions listed
below occur. In addition to the output being set to Off, an isolated
rear panel signal is also activated.
Over Voltage (OVP): Settable 1V to 40V (QL355) or 60V (QL564) in 0.1V steps
Over Current (OCP): Settable 0.1A to 5.5A (QL355) or 4.5A (QL564) in 0.01A steps
Over Temperature: Monitors internal temperature rise to protect against excess ambient
temperature or blocked ventilation slots.
Sense Error: Monitors the voltage between the remote sense terminals and output
terminals to protect against mis-wiring.
Trip Output Signal: Isolated open-collector output signal on rear panel.
METERING
Display Type: Dual digital displays per output using 14mm (0.56”) high brightness
LEDs. 5 digits for voltage, 4 digits for current.
Update rate 4 per second.
Meter Function: Voltage meter shows set voltage when in CV mode and measured
voltage when in CI mode.
Current meter shows measured current when in CV mode and
set current when in CI mode.
Limits Display: With the dc output switch set to Off, both meters show the set values
(i.e. the limits). With the output On, either the voltage meter or
current meter will show a measured value (depending on the CV/CI
mode). Pressing the Limits button will provide a temporary display
of the set values.
Watts (VxA) Display: The voltage meter can be made to show the instantaneous calculated
product of voltage and current.
Meter Resolution: Voltage: 1mV (CV mode) or 10mV (CI mode)
Current: 1mA or 0.1mA depending on range
Power: 0.01W or 0.001W depending on range

Current: 0.2% of reading ± 0.005A or 0.5mA (CV mode)
Power: 0.3% of reading ± 0.05W or 0.005W
SETTINGS MEMORIES
Main Output(s): Up to 50 set-ups per output can be saved and recalled via the
keyboard or remote interfaces.
Parameters Stored: Range, Set volts, Set current, OVP, OCP.
Recall system: Settings are previewed onto the displays before being actioned.
Linked Mode: On triple output models when in Linked mode, a further set of 50
memories stores and recalls values for both outputs simultaneously.
Auxiliary Output: Up to 10 voltage settings can be saved and recalled via the keyboard
or remote interfaces.
ALARM OUTPUT
Isolated rear-panel open-collector output signal. User can select output to be activated for
either OVP, OCP, Overtemperature or Sense miswiring, or for any of those four faults.
LINK & COPY - Triple Output Models
Each output can be controlled independently or can be linked. When linked, keyboard and jog
wheel control operates on both outputs simultaneously.
Linked mode can be used to create tracking outputs, or for convenient series or parallel
operation of the two outputs.
A Copy function is available which copies all of the settings for output 1 to output 2 (Range,
Set volts, Set current, OVP, OCP).
Linked mode can also be used to store the settings for both outputs to a group of common
memory stores when simultaneous recall is required.
(Note: Linked mode can be selected with differing voltage and current settings on the two
outputs. However both outputs must be set to the same range.)
AUXILIARY OUTPUT - Triple Output Models

Output Current: >3.0 A maximum. LED indication of over-current.
DC Output Switch: Sets output voltage level to zero when Off.
