PL and PL-P series Tour Map
PL Series DC Supplies: S-Lock
S-Lock - analogue control with digital convenience and safety
Lock your settings at the touch of a button
The main disadvantage of analogue controls is stability and security.
The settings of analogue potentiometers can drift over time.
More importantly, the settings can be
changed accidentally with potentially serious consequences.
The New PL series introduces S-Lock. One
press of the Lock button transfers control of voltage and
current from the analogue controls to internal digital circuitry.
This offers not just complete security, but
exceptional stability as well with each setting controlled by a
high resolution instrumentation quality DAC.
Safety Interlocks
To prevent an unexpected voltage appearing
on the output when the settings are unlocked, the Lock function
can only be released when the output is set to off.
