    PFR-100L50 Operating Area 100W Rated power Current (A) Voltage (V) PFR-100M250 Operating Area 100W Rated power Current (A) When the power supply is configured so that the total output (current x voltage output) is less than the rated power output, the power supply functions as a typical constant current, constant voltage power supply.

  • Page 17: Cc And Cv Mode

    1-3-2. CC and CV Mode CC and CV mode When the power supply is operating in constant current Description mode (CC) a constant current will be supplied to the load. When in constant current mode the voltage output can vary, whilst the current remains constant. When the load resistance increases to the point where the current limit ) can no longer be sustained the power supply switches to CV mode.

  • Page 18: Slew Rate

    1-3-3. Slew Rate Theory The PFR-100 has selectable slew rates for CC and CV mode. This gives the PFR-100 power supply the ability to limit the current/voltage draw of the power supply. Slew rate settings are divided into High Speed Priority and Slew Rate Priority.

  • Page 21 value. The PFR-100 power supply ammeter only indicates mean current values, which means for pulsed current loads, the actual current can exceed the indicated value. For pulsed loads, the current limit must be increased, or a power supply with a greater capacity must be chosen. As shown below, a pulsed load may exceed the current limit and the indicated current on the power supply ammeter.

  • Page 22: Grounding

    Reverse Current: When the power supply is connected to a load such as a Accumulative battery, reverse current may flow back to the power supply. energy To prevent damage to the power supply, use a reverse- current-protection diode in series between the power supply and load.
  • Page 23 If the insulation capacity of the load and load cables is not WARNING greater than the isolation voltage of the power supply, electric shock may occur. When the unit is analog controlled with external voltage control and external resistance control, the control signal should be floated without grounding (floating).

Connect the power cord to the rear panel socket. 2. Press the POWER switch on. If used for the first time, the default settings will appear on the display, otherwise the PFR-100 recovers the state right before the power was last turned OFF.

  • Page 25: The Rear Panel Output Terminal

    2-1-3. The Rear Panel Output Terminal Background The PFR-100 series use a 10 pin socket for the output voltage and sense connections. The corresponding plugs (DECA SwitchLab MC420-38110Z) should be used to connect the terminals to the appropriate cable. Before connecting the output terminals to the load, first consider whether voltage sense will be used, the gauge of the cable wiring and the withstand voltage of the cables and load.

    5. Connect the positive load cable to the positive output terminal and the negative cable to the negative output terminal. Please note the wire gauge used and the capacity of the WARNING plug/socket. It may be necessary to wire the load to a number of terminals to offset the capacity over a number of terminals.

    6. FAQ  How often should the power supply be calibrated? The PFR-100 should be calibrated by an authorized service center at least every 2 years. For details regarding calibration, see your local dealer or our website.  The power supply won’t let me change the mode (CVmode ↔ CCmode). To set the power supply to CC or CV mode, the Function key must be held when the power is turned on to enter the Power On Configuration Mode.
