Basic Tests WARNING The factory setting for Power ON is 0V and 0A. These settings can be changed by end users. If you suspect that the power supply has been used by someone else since it was received from the factory, be prepared for the unit to power ON with a live DC output.
Basic Tests Power ON To complete the power on check: Check 1. Ensure that the AC power switch is OFF. 2. Connect the unit to an AC outlet. 3. Turn the front panel AC power switch to ON. After a short power-on delay, the front panel meters and the CV annunciator illuminate.
Voltage Mode 1. Ensure the voltage and current controls on the front panel are turned fully Operation counter-clockwise. Check 2. Connect a DVM to the output terminals on the rear panel, observing correct polarity. 3. Turn the current control a 1/2-turn clockwise. Slowly turn the voltage control clockwise and observe both the front panel voltmeter and the DVM.
Basic Tests Front Panel 1. Turn the front panel power switch to ON. Function 2. Set voltage and current controls fully clockwise. Push the OUT ON/OFF switch Checks to its IN position and check that the voltmeter reading falls to zero and the OFF (OUTPUT OFF) LED turns on.
Load Wiring When connecting load wiring to the power supply, consider the following factors: Current carrying capacity of the wire • Maximum load wiring length for operation with sense lines • Noise and impedance effects of the load lines • Current As a minimum, load wiring must have a constant capacity greater than the output current rating of the power supply.
Load Wiring Load Wiring For applications using remote sensing, or for improved voltage regulation at the load, you must limit the voltage drop across each load line. We recommend that you use Length for larger load wiring to ensure a smaller voltage drop (1V maximum under full load Operation conditions), although units will compensate for up to 5V drop in each line with the with Sense...
Load Connections WARNING Exercise caution when operating the power supply. High energy levels can be stored at the output terminals on a power supply in normal operation. In addition, potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and on the output and sense connectors of a power supply with a rated output greater than 40V.
Load Connections Single Load To connect a single load to the DC output bus bars (5–80V outputs): 1. Ensure that the power supply is powered OFF. 2. Place a 5/16 in. (M8) bolt in the connecting hole of the negative bus bar, and fasten the negative wire or bus bar, a flatwasher, lockwasher, and a nut to the bolt.
Multiple To connect multiple loads in parallel: Loads Follow the • To minimize interaction between loads, bring the wiring for each load directly • back to the supply output. When each load to the power supply is wired separately, the loads will see only the precisely regulated output from the supply. If 2 loads share a single cable, the fluctuation in current to one load will cause the voltage to vary on the others.
Load Connections Output Strain Figure 2.7 Relief/Cover from accidental contact with the bus bars and to clamp output cables in place.

Remote Sensing The power supply regulates the output voltage at the output connectors in its normal configuration without remote sense lines connected. Remote sensing lets the power supply track and regulate the output voltage at the load, and thereby compensate for the voltage drop in the load lines. The power supply will only compensate within the limitations of its voltage rating, to a maximum of 5V per load line.

Section 3. Operation Overview Once you have installed the power supply and connected both the AC input power and the load as explained in configuration and is ready to operate in local control mode. Section 3 then provides information about configuring the power supply, and also gives procedures for operating the supply via the front panel controls.
Power Supply Operating States Power Supply Operating States The power supply has 4 operating states: Power-On • Output Shutdown • Soft Start • Normal Operation • Power-On This is the period between the time that AC power is applied to the supply (AC breaker turned on) and the time that the power supply is ready for operation.
Power Supply Regulation Modes The power supply has 2 regulation modes while in the Normal Operation State: Constant Voltage (CV) • Constant Current (CC) • The CV and CC annunciators indicate the regulation mode. Constant In this mode, the supply’s output voltage is constant while the current and power vary with the load.
Front Panel Controls Front Panel Controls The power supply is shipped ready to operate in local mode using the front panel knobs and function buttons. This section describes the function buttons and control knobs that you use to operate the power supply. (Additional details about the front panel keys, control knobs, and display annunciators are provided in The next section provides details about configuring and operating the power supply.
Using Over Voltage Protection (OVP) The OVP circuit protects the load in the event of a remote programming error, an incorrect voltage control adjustment, or a power supply failure. The protection circuit monitors the output voltage at the output of the power supply and will shut down the main power converter whenever a preset voltage limit is exceeded.
Using Over Voltage Protection (OVP) Resetting the To reset the OVP circuit after it activates: OVP Circuit 1. Reduce the power supply’s output voltage setting to below the OVP set point. 2. Press the OUT ON/OFF switch IN. The OFF LED on the front panel turns on. The OVP LED turns off.
Using the Shutdown Function (Output ON/OFF) Use the shutdown function to disable or enable the supply’s output so that you can make adjustments to either the load or the power supply without shutting off the power supply. Activate this function from the front panel at any time by using the OUT ON/OFF switch.
Over Temperature Protection (OTP) Note If switch S1-7 is ON but there is no signal applied, the INT LED turns on and the power supply will not provide an output until the HIGH signal level is applied. Any of the eight switches on S1 is OFF when it has been flipped up to break contact, ON when flipped down to close contact.
User Diagnostics If your power supply is not performing as described in this manual, run through the procedures and checks in this section before calling your service technician. These procedures are confined to operator level functions only and do not require cover-off servicing.

Alarms WARNING- Fire Hazard If an over-voltage, over-current, or over-power protection error persists without apparent cause, press OUT ON/OFF button to disable the output, and turn the AC switch OFF. Inspect the load and power supply for evidence of an electrical fault. The power supply should not be brought back into operation if there is any evidence of an electrical fire or other safety hazards.
