    What operating modes does the APS-7306(L/LS) DC Programmable Power Supply have?

    The APS-7306(L/LS) programmable DC power supply supports two main operating modes:

    1. Constant Voltage (CV) Mode – Voltage Stabilization
      • This is the most commonly used operating mode.
      • When you press the Output button, the display shows the set voltage, while the current is measured in real time.
      • If the current draw increases and reaches the set maximum limit, the power supply automatically switches to Constant Current mode to protect the load.
    2. Constant Current (CC) Mode – Current Stabilization
      • In this mode, the power supply lowers the output voltage so that the current does not exceed the set maximum value.
      • It is important to set the maximum current value before operation.
      • If the maximum current is set to zero, no voltage will appear at the output when you press Output.
      • We recommend setting the current to the minimum required value to protect sensitive electronic devices from accidental short circuits or overloads.

    By automatically switching between CV mode and CC mode, the APS-7306(L/LS) ensures stable operation and safe protection for your test circuits and electronic equipment.


    Up

    How to memorize the voltage and current values?

    The APS-7306(L/LS) programmable DC power supply allows you to store up to 3 sets of voltage and current values in its memory for quick recall. This feature is useful for laboratory work, testing, or when frequently using the same output settings.

    To memorize voltage and current values:

    1. Set the desired output (for example, 5V / 1A).
    2. Press MEM and then M1 to store this setting.
    3. Adjust to another set of values (for example, 12V / 2A).
    4. Press MEM and then M2 to store the second setting.
    5. Set a third output value (for example, 24V / 3.5A).
    6. Press MEM and then M3 to save the third configuration.

    Once stored, you can recall these saved values instantly, without re-entering them each time. This makes the APS-7306(L/LS) more efficient and reliable for repeated power supply tasks.

    Does the current parameters on AKTAKOM APS-7306 power supply display coincide with the readings of the program?

    Current parameters on AKTAKOM APS-7306 power supply display may not coincide with the program readings if there is no load connected to the device.


    Up

    When I press “Remote” there is nothing happening to AKTAKOM APS-7306 power supply control. What is the reason?

    For safety reasons, the AKTAKOM APS-7306 programmable DC power supply does not allow the remote control mode to be disabled directly from the software. This prevents accidental switching that could endanger the connected electronic equipment.

    To return to local (manual) control mode:

    1. Turn off the APS-7306 power supply.
    2. Turn it back on without connecting it to the computer via USB.

    This ensures the safe operation of the power supply and connected devices by requiring a controlled restart before manual control can be restored.


    Up

    What current protection do AKTAKOM power supplies use?

    AKTAKOM programmable power supplies are equipped with different types of protection to ensure safe operation of the device and connected equipment. The protection method depends on the model series:

    1. Current Stabilization (CC Mode) – Used in Entry-Level Power Supplies

    • In low-end models, current protection is handled by the Constant Current (CC) stabilization mode.
    • If the load resistance decreases (or a short circuit occurs), the power supply automatically reduces the output voltage to the minimum level.
    • The supply remains in this safe state until a load resistance is detected again.
    • Once resistance appears, the voltage and current increase proportionally up to the set values.

    2. Over Current Protection (OCP Mode) – Available in High-End Power Supplies

    • Advanced AKTAKOM power supplies include Over Current Protection (OCP) in addition to current stabilization.
    • OCP mode is independent of CC mode and allows you to set a specific current limit at which the power supply output will shut off completely.
    • After OCP is triggered, the output terminals remain off until reset manually from the device control panel, regardless of load changes.
    • This provides an additional safety layer, especially for sensitive electronic circuits.

    3. Multi-Channel Power Supplies

    • Multi-channel AKTAKOM models support OCP per channel as well as total output current OCP for the entire device.

    Key Notes:

    • Devices without OCP rely only on current stabilization (CC mode) for protection.
    • Devices with OCP provide a trigger-based protection that fully shuts off the output.
    • In both cases, when protection is activated, the load is not galvanically isolated from the power supply output terminals.

    Up

    May I use AKTAKOM power supplies to charge accumulators?

    AKTAKOM power supplies can’t be used for accumulator charging since it may cause the accumulator breakage (recharge, electrolyte boiling, extra pressure of the internal gas which will lead to the accumulator explosion). Accumulators should be charged with the current source which controls the accumulator voltage and regulates the charging current accordingly. When the required accumulator voltage is achieved such type of source simply stops the charging process, its name is a charging device.
