Current coarse adjust 2. DC Voltmeter Coarse adjust knob for current limiting point and current Indicates the present output voltage.
REAR 13. Master / Slave switch Used during “master / slave control” parallel operation in MASTER / SLAVE configuration. For normal operation, switch should be set to MASTER. 14. In / out terminals for Master / Slave operation Control terminals for use in the “MASTER / SLAVE control” parallel operation mode.
6. OPERATION PROCEDURES 6.1 . STAND-ALONE OPERATION • PLUS / MINUS CONNECTION For connection as shown in FIG.6.2 where the intermediate When using the power supply in stand-alone mode, simply point is hooked up to ground, the configuration can be used as operate by manipulation of the panel switches and Plus / Minus power supply.
6.3. PARALLEL OPERATION (MASTER / SLAVE CONTROL) Two or more units of the same model can be hooked up in Switch “ON” the MASTER unit and SLAVE units. parallel to give an increase in output current capacity. The total The output voltage and current then can be output current capacity will be the sum of the output currents of controlled to the desired value via the adjustment the individual units.
7. MAINTENANCE However, calibrations should be attempted only if a 3½ digit WARNING: The following instructions are for use by qualified multimeter with an accuracy of +0.5% DCV or better and a 0 personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any to 50ohm, 250 Watt adjustable resistive load is available.
1. Adjust the output voltage to half of its maximum allowable output voltage for respective model. 2. Align the voltmeter reading with the multimeter reading. For BK Precision Analog series, adjust the trimmer VR-6 on 2. Adjust the variable resistive load to obtain half of its the main PCB.
