1. Label does not say, but I'm assuming its 115V AC input, and hard wired in on the back?

The input voltage is usually molded into the housing where the cord goes in.

2. Both the Volt and Amp knobs have 2 knobs, an inner and outer. What are the function of both knobs?

Coarse and fine adjustment for each

3. DC output has a ground jack. I've never seen a ground jack on DC output. What should I ground this to?


Most have a red/positive jack, a black/negative jack, and a green/earth ground jack. Use the red and the black jacks for your leads and don't use the green for anything.

Thanks!
Most with knobs work very similar. It's the ones with number pads that get complicated.
