Operation
The B & K-Precision Model 1610 and 1630 DC Power Supplies can operate in both constant voltage and constant current modes. The transition between these modes is smooth and automatic, with LED indicators showing the current mode. In constant voltage mode, a current limit can be preset, and if load variations cause the current to reach this limit, the unit will regulate the output current instead of the voltage. In constant current mode, the maximum voltage can be preset, and if load variations cause the current to drop below the regulated value, the unit will revert to regulated voltage operation. The output is isolated from chassis and earth ground, allowing for flexible connections. The power supplies can be connected in series or parallel for increased voltage or current output.

Basic Usage and Operation Tips
Before use, ensure the multimeter is powered on and the correct measurement mode is selected. Connect the test leads to the appropriate input jacks and probe the circuit carefully. For voltage measurements, use the voltage mode and place the probes across the component. For current measurements, connect the meter in series with the circuit. Always start with the highest range to prevent damage and switch to a lower range for more precise readings. Use the data hold function to freeze the displayed value for easier recording.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
If the multimeter displays erratic readings or no reading at all, check the test leads for damage and ensure proper connection. Replace the battery if the low battery indicator appears. Clean the device regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures. If the device fails to power on, verify the battery installation and replace if necessary. For persistent issues, consult the detailed troubleshooting section in the manual or contact authorized service centers.
Safety Reminder
Always observe proper safety precautions when using the Bk-precision-1610. Do not exceed the maximum input limits specified in the manual. Avoid measuring voltage or current in circuits with unknown or hazardous voltages without appropriate protective equipment. Disconnect the test leads from the circuit before changing measurement modes. Failure to follow safety instructions may result in electric shock, injury, or damage to the device.
