Units with the -CE suffix have been tested to the EMC requirements of EN 50081-1 and EN 50081-2, However in the presence of high ambient RF noise, shielding may be required on the load or the remote control cables. 83-473-000 Revision J 2 - 3 Inspection and Installation...
K. Rotate Current knob completely counter clockwise. The output current should drop to zero. Flip OFF circuit breaker. If any inconsistency from the above test procedure is noted, please do not hesitate to call Lambda EMI Customer Service for assistance. 83-473-000 Revision J 2 - 4...
3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The EMS power supply could be operated in several different configurations. Section 3 gives a detailed description of configuring the supply to the desired application. Figure 3.1: Front Panel, (5KW model shown) 3.1 FRONT PANEL The following table provides a listing of the controls and indicators that are located on the front panel along with a brief description of their functions.
3.2 OPERATING MODES The voltage and current controls set the boundary limits for the load voltage and current respectively. The relationship between the control settings and the load resistance determines whether the power supply operates in constant voltage or constant current mode. Automatic crossover between modes depends on the followings: Ÿ...
3.3 PROGRAMMING MODES CAUTION Hazardous voltages may be present on the terminal block or inside the J1 connector ON UNITS WITH OUTPUTS ABOVE 50VDC. Insure unit is powered off and disconnected prior to servicing. Refer to Section 1.2 The power supply could be configured for either Local or Remote programming. The supply is programmed by the shorting connections on terminal strip TB1, or J1 (the 25 Pin “D”...
Table 3.2: TB1/J1 3.3.1 LOCAL PROGRAMMING When shipped from the factory, each supply is configured for constant voltage, constant current, local programming, local sensing, single unit mode of operation. In this mode of operation the voltage and the current control knobs assert control over the output of the supply.
CAUTION An opening in the remote programming circuit is effectively a high programming resistance and will allow an uncontrolled voltage rise exceeding the maximum output of the power supply. This may cause possible damage to the power supply and/or load. For this reason, any programming resistor switcher must have shorting contacts.
1. Remove the jumpers between terminals TB1/J1-4, and TB1/J1-5. 2. Connect a 5K Ohm, 1% 0.5w resistor between TB1/J1-4 and TB1/J1-6. 3. Connect the programming current source between terminals TB1/J1-4 (positive) and TB1/J1-6 (negative). Figure 3.7: Remote Programming by External Current, Voltage Mode. 3.3.3 REMOTE PROGRAMMING OF CURRENT CHANNEL The front panel's current control is disabled in this programming mode.
Figure 3.8: Remote programming by External Resistance, Current Mode CAUTION An opening in the remote programming circuit is effectively a high programming resistance and will allow an uncontrolled current rise exceeding the maximum output of the power supply. This may cause possible damage to the power supply and/or load.
Figure 3.9b: Remote Programming by External Voltage, Current Mode (as per Option) C. External DC Current: A current of 0 to 1mA programs the output from zero to full rated current. Configure the strapping connections on TB1/J1 as shown on Figure 3.10. 1.
unit drifts upward, it will become current limited rather than carry an excessive share of load current. IMPORTANT: In order to run power supplies with OVP in parallel, modifications must be made. Please contact the factory for further instructions, before connecting supplies with OVP in parallel.
Figure 3.12: Parallel Operation, Master/Slave 3.6 SERIES OPERATION Two EMS power supplies can be operated in series simply by connecting the negative output terminal of one unit to the positive output terminal of the other. In this configuration each unit is adjusted independently, and the total output voltage is the sum of each unit's output voltage.
3.7 SERIES OPERATION MASTER/SLAVE This configuration allows the customer to use two or more power supplies as a single unit. The master power supply controls the output voltage across the load. The supply that is designated the master should be set to a voltage higher than or equal to that of the slave. The voltage of the slave is determined by R = ( V −...
The leads to the remote meters should be twisted, and if strong AC or RF fields are present, the lead should be shielded. One end of the shield should be grounded to terminal TB1/J1-14 and the other end left floating. 3.9 REMOTE SENSING (P.S.
3.10 REMOTE TURN ON EXTERNAL VOLTAGE SOURCE: Connect either an external 12-24 Vdc voltage supply or a 24-115 Vac voltage supply to pins TB1/J1-15 & 16. The link between Terminals 16 & 17 must be removed. NOTE: Terminals are polarity sensitive DC. Terminal 15 is positive and terminal 16 is negative.
4 THEORY OF OPERATION 4.1 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The basic principle of operation is outlined in this section. A simplified diagram of EMS power supply is shown below in figure 4.1. The power supply is made of the input section ( rectifier and the filter), the inverter (A200 Bd.), the output section, and the control section which is made of the A100 Bd.
frequency current loops. In the half bridge ( 600w/ 1KW ) only one transistor is turned on at a time. In the full bridge, the two diagonally opposite transistors Q1 and Q4 or Q2 and Q3 are turned on simultaneously. The result of this switching is to produce a quasi-square waveform that is impressed on the primary of the power transformer.
PWM. When the voltage rises above 13V, pin 7 of U4 latches low, and thus Q5 will turn off if permitted by diodes CR12, CR14, CR16 and CR17, controlled respectively by the Remote Turn-on, Thermostat protection, Overvoltage protection and Turn-on delay circuits. (3) Overvoltage Protection The overvoltage trip setpoint is set by potentiometer R8.
4.5.3 SET-POINT REFERENCE Separate constant current sources provide reference voltages for the voltage and current channels. The collector current of Q1 drives the voltage control potentiometer that is located on the front panel, whereas Q2 drives the current control potentiometer. The positive bias voltage supply is RC filtered with R8 and C10 to minimize noise feedthrough.
current and voltage. The 1524 also provides an accurate 5.1 volt DC reference which is used for the under and over voltage lockout circuits. The PWM also contains an amplifier which converts the error signals phase by 180° (at DC) so the signal into the PWM has the proper phase.
5 CALIBRATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING 5.1 INTRODUCTION A regularly scheduled maintenance of once a year is recommended for the EMS series power supply. As a minimum, maintenance should consist of a thorough cleaning of the interior, and a visual inspection of the fans and components on the printed circuit boards. NOTE: Maintenance and/or calibration procedures contained in this section will not void the unit warranty.
proceeding to the next step. The digital meter doesn’t have a zero adjustment and the full scale is on the back of the meter, or on the A100 PCB R406 or R402. 5.3.2 VOLTAGE CHANNEL AND VOLTMETER CALIBRATION 1. Disconnect any load from output of the power supply. 2.
5.4 TROUBLESHOOTING Using this section in conjunction with section IV and the schematics that are provided in this manual, will help tremendously in troubleshooting the power supply by isolating and locating the cause of the fault. Before attempting to troubleshoot the power supply, perform Section 2.4 to determine whether the fault is with the associated circuitry or with the power supply.
