Tenma power supply powers on in "off" mode

nick.s
nick.s over 6 years ago

I have 8 Tenma 72-272072-2720 power supplies and for some reason, one of the supplies powers up in "off" mode, when I press the power switch the CV LED does not light.  I can put the supply into "On" mode by pressing and holding the voltage knob for about 3 seconds, I feel a relay energize and the CV LED lights up after that the power supply works OK until I power off the supply and power up later.

I think when I/we were first setting up the supplies we may have pressed the knobs in the "right" way that only Tenma knows that puts the supply into this boot up "off" mode.

 

I hope someone out there knows the "right" way to press the knobs to restore correct operation. Also, I have the Tenma software working with the supply, maybe there's a command I can send.

    nick.s -> I will bet someone turn off the power supply setting and save that setting. See https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1270719/Tenma-72-2685.html?page=3#manual for details
