3. Connect the power cable to the AC in the power supply and the 3 connector plug. Please be sure that the power supply is grounded. 4. Press the switch on the front panel to switch on the instrument and you can start to use it.
Chapter 1 General Introduction 1.1 General Introduction The ARRAY 3600 Series Power Supply is a compact programmable DC power supply. It is equipped with back-light LCD display, number keypad and rotary knob which make it much easier to use. It can be operated at constant voltage mode or constant current mode. Pro- gramming feafures include over-current protection, maximum output voltage and power limitation, and 10 parameters storage.
* 0 to 35 C for full rated output. At higher temperaturers, the output current is derated 3% per C. 1.3 Features 1.4 Dimensions and Structure 1.4.1 Dimension Fig 1 Dimension of 3600 Series Programmable DC power supply 3600 Series Programmable Power Supply VERSION 2.0 2004.6 3600 SERIES USER MANUAL...
And in special mode, it will change into the functions of the blue color words. Fig 2 Front view of 3600 Series DC power supply The Left-upper Corner: (Flashing voltage means the low-voltage.) The Left-bottom Corner: (Flashing power value means the over power.)

2.3.1 Set up voltage 3600 series power supply provides two methods to set up the output voltage: by the number keypad and by the rotary knob. Please see the following operation procedure. Procedure Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4...
Conditions: voltage=24V, load R=12Ohm, then V/R=2 A, it represents the power supply pro- vide the load with 2A current. If the current value is set to 2.50A, the power supply works in CV mode, the actual current value should be displayed on the screen as 2.00A. If the load resistor becomes lower, the current will increase.
If you often use a voltage and current as 24V and 2A or 12V and 2.3A and etc, you just need to set up the data at the first time and then store the data in the power supply. When you need it, recall it.
Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 2.3.6 The function of the Menu 3600 series power supply provides a Menu operation for some special functions.
