4.Route the AC wires to the input connector terminals as required. To connect the wires, loosen the terminal screw, insert the stripped wire into the terminal and tighten the screw securely (4.4-5.3 Lb-inch.). 5.Route the wires inside the cover to prevent pinching. Fasten the cover to the unit using the M3x8 Flat Head screws are provided.

Refer to Section 5.5 for explanation of the FOLD function prior to performing the procedure below.
2. Wire size should be selected to enable voltage drop per lead to be less than 1.0V at the rated current. Although units will compensate for up to 5V in each load wire, it is recommended to minimize the voltage drop (1V typical maximum) to prevent excessive output power consum- ption from the power supply and poor dynamic response to load changes.
3.9.4 Noise and Impedance Effects To minimize the noise pickup or radiation, the load wires and remote sense wires should be twisted- pairs to the shortest possible length. Shielding of sense leads may be necessary in high noise environments. Where shielding is used, connect the shield to the chassis via a rear panel Ground screw.

CHAPTER 5 LOCAL OPERATION 5.1 INTRODUCTION This Chapter describes the operating modes that are not involved in programming and monitoring the power supply via its serial communication port (RS232/RS485) or by remote analog signals. Ensure that the REM/LOC LED on the front panel is Off, indicating Local mode. If the REM/LOC LED is On, press the front panel REM/LOC button to change the operating mode to local.
- Enabled output, power supply in Constant Voltage mode: Press the PREV button and then rotate the CURRENT encoder knob. The CURRENT meter will show the programmed current limit for 5 seconds after the adjustment has been completed, and then will return to show the actual load current.
5.4 UNDER VOLTAGE LIMIT (UVL) The UVL prevents adjustment of the output voltage below a certain limit.The combination of UVL and OVP functions, allow the user to create a protection window for sensitive load circuitry. 5.4.1 Setting the UVL level Setting the UVL can be made when the power supply output is Enabled (On) or Disabled (Off).
When the unit is shut-off by J1 signal, the VOLTAGE display will show “SO” to indicate the unit state. J1 contact 15 is the SO signal input and contacts 2 and 3, IF_COM, are the signal return (connected internally). Contacts 2,3 and 15 are optically isolated from the power supply output. The SO control logic can be selected by the rear panel SW1 Setup switch.
5.11 SAFE START AND AUTO-RESTART MODES When turning on the power supply AC On/Off, it can start to its last setting of Output Voltage and Current limit with the output enabled (Auto-restart) or start with the output disabled (Safe mode). Press and hold the OUT button to select between Safe start and Auto-restart modes.
CAUTION VORSICHT Do not connect power supplies from different Schalten Sie nicht Stromversorgungen manufacturers in series or in parallel. verschiedener Hersteller in Serie oder parallel. 5.14.1 Series connection for increased output voltage In this mode, two units are connected so that their outputs are summed. Set the current limit of each power supply to the maximum that the load can handle without damage.

CHAPTER 6 REMOTE ANALOG PROGRAMMING 6.1 INTRODUCTION The rear panel connector J1 allows the user to program the power supply output voltage and current limit with an analog device. J1 also provides monitoring signals for output voltage and output current. The programming range and monitoring signals range can be selected between 0-5V or 0-10V using the setup switch SW1.
6.4 REMOTE VOLTAGE PROGRAMMING OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT LIMIT VORSICHT CAUTION über Wenn Sie das Netzteil mit analogen Spannungen To maintain the isolation of power supply and prevent den J - Verbinder ansteuern, verwenden Sie eine ground loops, use an isolated programming source when operating the power supply via remote analog isolierte Signalquelle, um Erdschleifen zu vermeiden programming at J1 connector.
6.5 RESISTIVE PROGRAMMING OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT LIMIT For resistive programming, internal current sources, for output voltage and/or output current control, supply 1mA current through external programming resistors connected between J1-9 & 22 and J1-10 & 23. The voltage across the programming resistors is used as a programming voltage for the power supply.
6.6 REMOTE MONITORING OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT The J1 connector, located on the rear panel provides analog signals for monitoring the output voltage and output current. Selection of the voltage range between 0-5V or 0-10V is made by setup switch SW1-4. The monitoring signals represent 0 to 100% of the power supply output voltage and output current.The monitor outputs have 500 ohm series output resistance.
