The Gossen Konstanter 3211-K212 is a programmable DC power supply delivering 32V at 1A output, engineered for laboratory benchtop and 19″ rack-mount installations. Part of the SSP-Konstanter series, this single-output instrument combines voltage and current regulation with fast load-independent response times under 1 ms, enabled by bidirectional energy transformation (BET) technology. The supply integrates programmable control via RS-232C serial interface, analog I/O, and optional IEEE 488 (GPIB) connectivity, supporting up to 243 stored and recalled settings. Dual 4-place LED displays present measurement and setpoint values. Comprehensive protection includes overvoltage, overcurrent, and over-temperature safeguards, while lockable controls prevent unauthorized adjustment.
