The BOP can be locally (front panel) adjusted, or remotely programmed, from (–)100% to (+)100% of its specified d-c voltage and current range.

When driving an inductive load, if the system becomes unstable at the crossover between volt- age limit mode and current mode, the BOP 5-20DL can be further optimized by reducing the current loop bandwidth. This can be accomplished by connecting a ceramic capacitor across pins 16 and 18 of the Rear Programming Connector (see Figure 3-1 and Table 1-6).

Service must be referred to authorized personnel. Using the power supply in a manner not specified by Kepco. Inc. may impair the protection provided by the power supply. Observe all safety precautions noted throughout this manual. Table 1-11 lists symbols used on the power supply or in this manual where applicable.

Periodic cleaning of the interior of the power supply is rec- ommended. If the BOP is rack-mounted or installed into confined spaces, care must be taken that the ambient temperature (the temperature immediately surrounding the power supply) does not rise above 55°C (~131°F). BOP 5-20DL 081915...

Drill the “E” hole into both left and right chassis sections of slide if required. Mount the chassis section of the slide to the left and right side of the BOP as shown in Fig- ure 2-4. Use the same 10-32 x 1/2” mounting screws removed in step 1. BOP 5-20DL 081915...
The load wire size for the 2-wire connection shown should be rated for the nominal output cur- rent of the BOP (20A for the BOP 5-20DL) and tied together to keep parasitic inductance low and to reduce possible “pick-up” from stray magnetic fields. The basic 2-wire connection is use- ful where the voltage drop in the load wires is small or of minor consequence, as for example, operation in constant current mode.
A twisted or shielded pair of wires (No. 22 AWG minimum) are connected from the BOP sensing terminals to the load. For the BOP 5-20DL this remote error sensing technique will compensate for load wire voltage drops up to 0.25 volts per wire.

Voltage Programming Input terminals. An interesting example of how this can be imple- mented is the use of a Kepco SN Digital Programmer to convert digital input to the analog ±10V d-c signal. The digital input to the SN programmer can be provided by a computer, or manually by means of a keyboard.

Since this method presents the least problems for either series or parallel connections and since it is readily implemented with BOP power supplies, it is the recommended method for this kind of operation and is described below. 3-20 BOP 5-20DL 081915...
Two or more BOP power supplies can be connected in series to increase output voltage. One series-connection limitation is the isolation limit of the BOP itself (500V); contact Kepco if more than three units is series are required. Figure 3-24 shows a master/slave connection of two BOP power supplies.
The coupling resistor (R ) should be either a wirewound or a metal film component with a low temperature coefficient. For BOP 5-20DL this value is 2.49K (either 1/4 or 1/2 Watt). This value of R will be able to drive the BOP Slave unit to its (±) maximum output voltage as the BOP Master is controlled through its range.
PARALLEL CONNECTION, MASTER/SLAVE OPERATION BOP power supplies can be connected in parallel to increase output current. One parallel-con- nection limitation is the load-wire size required for larger output current. Contact Kepco if more than three units in parallel are required.

The logic status signals shown in Figure 3-28 are valid for the BOP operating in voltage mode MODE) and local mode (not driven by the GPlB interface). The BOP 5-20DL uses the front panel REMOTE ON-OFF indicator shows the output on-off status as determined by signals applied to the OUTPUT ON-OFF Port.
NOTE: • Because the voltage measured will be used as reference for calibration, the DVM used must be accurately calibrated prior to calibrating the BOP Power Supply. • Proper cooling of the external precision shunt resistor ensures the accuracy of the calibration. BOP 5-20DL 081915...
5. Connect a precision digital voltmeter (DVM) to terminal 22 (–10V) of the Rear Programming Connector referenced to Common (terminal 23, 25, 27, 29, 31 or 33) for –10V adjustment. 6. Adjust –10V CAL control, A1R32 (see Figure 4-2) to –10V ±0.1mV as read on DVM. BOP 5-20DL 081915...

4. Adjust I -OFF ZERO (A1A1R13) potentiometer (see Figure 4-2) for 0A ±(0.01% of I nom) as read on the DVM connected to the shunt. (For BOP 5-20DL I nom is 20A and adjustment tolerance is ±2mA.) 5. Turn off the BOP and remove the shunt resistor from the output. Connect the DVM to the output sensing terminal of the BOP (OUT S and COM S).
8. Adjust A3R316 (see Figure 4-2 for location) until current reading displayed by ammeter or by the shunt’s DVM exactly matches the BOP rated output current with 0.005% tolerance (-20A ±1mA for BOP 5-20DL). The current reading will show negative polarity due to the default inverting configuration of the unit.
