2. INTENDED USE
The laboratory power supply serves as DC voltage source to operate low voltage consumers. 
The adjustable output can be tapped at the front up to full nominal current. The output is 
protected against overload. Hazardous contact voltages >75 V/DC can be generated with the 
series connection of outputs of several power supplies. Insulated wires/measurement lines must 
be used for safety reasons from this voltage. The connection is made via 4 mm safety sockets.
Sufficiently  dimensioned  connection  cables  must  be  used.  Too  smaller 
conductor cross section can lead to overheating and fire.
The output data of the laboratory power supplies is as follows:
Type
Output voltage
Output current
CPPS-160-42
0 – 42 V/DC
0 – 10 A
CPPS-160-84
0 – 84 V/DC
0 – 5 A
The voltage and current is set continuously via digital rotary knobs with rough and fine adjustment
to enable fast and precise value setting. The values are displayed in the clear display.
The power supply is remote controlled. The output voltage and the output current can be set 
via an external voltage (0 - 5 V/DC) or an external potentiometer (5 kOhm). The DC output is 
switched on and off via a switching contact.
Three freely programmed storage spaces can be allocated with different fixed voltages and
current limits. 
The power supply can be controlled to operate cyclical work flows via a PC with the software
and USB connection included in the delivery scope. Up to 20 programmable voltage and current 
sets with different periods can be programmed for operation. The cyclical work flows can be
repeated up to 999 times.
The device is overload and short circuit proof and includes a safety and temperature shutdown. 
The laboratory power supply is set up in protection class 1 It should only be connected to the 
protective contact sockets with protective earthing and a household AC voltage of 100 - 240 V/AC.
