ISO Certified In-House Calibration Certificate for your 1688B Switching DC Power Supply

ISO Certified In-House Calibration Certificate for your 1688B Switching DC Power Supply

B&K 1688B Offers

Features

  • Automatic CV/CC crossover operation
  • Lightweight and compact
  • Rotary encoder control for precise voltage and current setting
  • Save up to three user-defined voltage and current presets for quick recall
  • PC software for remote control and external timed programming
  • Analog remote control function
  • USB interface
  • Front panel auxiliary output
  • Overvoltage, over temperature, and overload protection

Fully protected

Have peace of mind knowing that this power supply come with built-in OVP (overvoltage protection), OTP (over temperature protection), and OLP (overload protection) circuitry. These protections help prevent serious damage to equipment in case of power supply failure.

Custom presets

Quickly use common voltage and current settings with a flip of the Recall preset switch. Up to three different presets can be set and recalled.

Analog remote control capability

Use the included connector to wire up to an external variable DC voltage source or variable resistor to remotely control the power supply's output voltage and current or to turn the output on/off.

PC connectivity

Control your instrument through remote control PC software or use programming commands to communicate with your instrument.

Applications

  • Production testing
  • Telecommunications
  • R&D
  • Electronic field service
  • University labs
