The BK Precision 1652 is a power supply.
Actually, it is three supplies in one box: two supplies are variable between 0 V and 24 V and are each capable of delivering up to 0.5 A. The third supply is fixed at 5 V and is capable of delivering up to 4 A.

FIXED Output
5 Volts up to 4 Amps
Use
Obviously, the power supply is used to power circuits built in the BME153/BME154 lab (duh!).
In BME153, generally one uses just the A output in a unipolar configuration. The display selector is set to A, of course, and the tracking is set to Independent or Series. The output voltage is adjusted and the maximum output current is adjusted. This current limit could be adjusted to its maximum, but it's probably a good idea to adjust this to the lowest level necessary. That way, if something is wrong, the damage will be limited.
To power, say, opamps in BME154, you need a bipolar supply. In that case switch the tracking to Series. Be sure to attach the ground strap between the red lead of B and the black lead of A. Now the red lead of A is a positive voltage and the black lead of B is a negative voltage. The A control controls both outputs and the B control does nothing.
Beware the red lights. If you see one of the red Overload lights, you have a problem. You should immediately turn off the power supply and find the problem.
