Installation Voltage Mode Operation Check 1. Ensure the voltage and current controls on the front panel are turned fully counter-clockwise. 2. Connect that the output sense lines are connected in the default configuration. (The local sense lines are connected between terminals 1 and 2 and between terminals 4 and 5 on the J10 sense connector as shown on the rear panel diagram in Figure 1-2 on page 1–5.)
Functional Tests Front Panel Function Checks 1. Turn the front panel AC switch to ON. 2. Set voltage and current controls fully clockwise. Push the STANDBY switch to its IN position and check that the voltmeter reading falls to zero and the red S/D (Shutdown) LED turns on. Push the STANDBY switch once again to reset it to its OUT position.
Installation Load Connection This section provides recommendations for load wires and how to connect them for both single and multiple load configurations. Load Wiring WARNING Ensure that the chassis ground screw does not penetrate more than 3/8 in. (9 mm) into the rear panel of the unit.
Load Connection Table 2-4 Current Carrying Capacity for Load Wiring Wire Size Wire Size (AWG) Maximum Current (A) (AWG) Maximum Current (A) Load Wiring Length for Operation with Sense Lines For applications using remote sensing, you must limit the voltage drop across each load wire.
Installation Noise and Impedance Effects To minimize noise pickup or radiation, use shielded pair wiring of the shortest possible length for load wires. Connect the shield to the chassis via a rear panel mounting screw. Where shielding is impossible or impractical, simply twisting the wires together will offer some noise immunity.
Installation 7.5 V to 100 V Models The 7.5 V to 100 V models are equipped with output bus bars. To make a typical load connection to a 7.5 V, 300 A power supply: 1. Strip the ends of the wires. 2.
Load Connection 150 V to 600 V Models WARNING: Shock hazard To protect personnel against accidental contact with hazardous voltages, ensure that the load, including connections, has no live parts which are accessible. Also ensure that the insulation rating of the load wiring and circuitry is greater than or equal to the maximum output voltage of the power supply.
Installation Inductive Loads To prevent damage to the power supply from inductive kickback, connect a diode across the output. The diode must be rated at greater than or equal to the supply’s output voltage and have a current surge rating greater than or equal to the supply’s output rating.
Load Connection Figure 2-8 Single Load with Remote Sensing Connecting Multiple Loads Proper connection of distributed loads is an important aspect of power supply use. Two common methods of connection are the parallel power distribution method and the radial power distribution method. Parallel Power Distribution This distribution method involves connecting leads from the power supply to one load, from that load to the next load, and so on for each load in the system.
Local and Remote Sensing Local and Remote Sensing Use connections at the rear panel J10 sense connector to configure the power supply for local or remote sensing of output voltage. See Figure 2- 11 for a drawing of the sense connector. Sense Wiring WARNING: Shock hazard There is a potential shock hazard at the sense connector when using a power supply...

Local and Remote Sensing Using Remote Sensing WARNING: Shock hazard There is a potential shock hazard at the sense points when using a power supply with a rated output greater than 40 V. Ensure that connections at the load end are shielded to prevent contact with hazardous voltages.
Installation 4. To prevent ground loops, ground the sense line shield, at one point only, to the power supply’s return output connection at the load, to the power supply’s return output at its negative output terminal, or to the power supply’s chassis. 5.
Local Operation Chapter 3 provides procedures for local (front panel) operation. It includes procedures for using over voltage protection, shutdown function, multiple supplies, and over temperature protection.
Local Operation Introduction Once you have installed the power supply and have connected both the AC input power and the load as covered in Chapter 2, “Installation”, the power supply is ready to operate in local control mode (that is, operation at the unit’s front panel).
Standard Operation Standard Operation This power supply has two basic operating modes: Constant Voltage Mode and Constant Current Mode, and two control modes: Local Control Mode (default setting) and Remote Programming Mode. Both operating modes are available regardless of which control mode is used. Operating Modes and Automatic Crossover Whether controlled by local or remote programming, the power supply has two basic operating modes: Constant Voltage Mode and Constant...
Local Operation Constant Voltage Mode Operation The power supply will operate in constant voltage mode whenever the load current I is less than the current limit setting I , or: I < I (Note: I In constant voltage mode, the power supply maintains the output voltage at the selected value (V ) while the load current I varies with the load...
Standard Operation Shipped Configuration (Local Control Mode) The factory ships units already configured for local control (front panel) operation. See Table 3-1 for a summary of this configuration. See Figure 1-4 on page 1–7 and Figure 1-2 on page 1–5 for front and rear panel diagrams.
Local Operation Setting Output Voltage and Current Limit Install the power supply and connect the load as described in “Installation”. Ensure that the power supply is set up for local control as described in “Shipped Configuration (Local Control Mode)” on page 3–5. Then, set the output voltage and current limit at the front panel with the following procedure.
Using Over Voltage Protection (OVP) Using Over Voltage Protection (OVP) The OVP circuit protects the load in the event of a remote programming error, an incorrect voltage control adjustment, or a power supply failure. The protection circuit monitors the output voltage at the output of the power supply and will shut down the main power converter whenever a preset voltage limit is exceeded.
Local Operation 7. To check that the power supply shuts off at the desired set point, slowly increase the output voltage while monitoring the front panel voltmeter. The OVP LED on the front panel turns on when the OVP circuit activates. Resetting the OVP Circuit To reset the OVP circuit after it activates: 1.
Using the Shutdown Function Using the Shutdown Function Use the Shutdown function to disable or enable the supply’s output so that you can make adjustments to either the load or the power supply without shutting off the power supply. Activate this function from the front panel at any time by using the STANDBY switch.
Local Operation Table 3-2 Switch Settings for Shutdown Circuit Logic Source Signal Supply Switch SW1-7 Setting Signal Level Output S/D LED OFF (OPEN) 2-15 V HIGH (Active low, default) 0-0.4 V ON (CLOSED) 2-15 V HIGH (Active high) 0-0.4 V Notes: 1.
Using Multiple Supplies Using Multiple Supplies WARNING There is a shock hazard at the load when using a power supply with a rated or combined output greater than 40 V. To protect personnel against accidental contact with hazardous voltages created by series connection, ensure that the load, including connections, has no live parts which are accessible.
Local Operation Configuring Multiple Supplies for Series Operation CAUTION Do not use remote sensing during series operation. CAUTION The maximum allowable sum of the output voltages is 600 Vdc. Use series operation to obtain a single higher voltage output using two or more supplies.
Using Multiple Supplies Configuring Multiple Supplies for Parallel Operation Use parallel operation to obtain a higher current through a single output using two or more supplies. Set all of the OVP setpoints to maximum. (See “Using Over Voltage Protection (OVP)” on page 3–7.) Set all of the outputs to the same voltage before connecting the positive (+) output terminals and negative (–) output terminals in parallel.
Local Operation Sensing for Parallel Operation Use default local sensing to enhance power sharing between units, as the impedance of the load lines will tend to correct for current imbalance. If you use remote sensing at the load for better voltage regulation, one supply always operates in current limit mode and supplies most of the power.
Using Multiple Supplies Configuring Multiple Supplies for Split Supply Operation Split supply operation uses two power supplies to obtain two positive voltages with a common ground, or to obtain a positive-negative supply. Two Positive Voltages To obtain two positive voltages, connect the negative output terminals of both supplies together in a common connection.
Local Operation Positive-negative Supply CAUTION To prevent possible damage to the supply, do not connect the remote program return line of the negative supply to the common connection. To obtain a positive-negative supply, connect the negative output terminal of one supply to the positive output terminal of the second supply. The positive output terminal of the first supply then provides a positive voltage relative to the common connection while the negative output terminal of the second supply provides a negative voltage.
Over Temperature Protection (OTP) Over Temperature Protection (OTP) The OTP function allows you to select how the power supply recovers from an over temperature shutdown using the rear panel switch SW1-8. See Table 3-3 for switch settings and selections. See “Rear Panel Connectors and Switch”...
Remote Operation Introduction The rear panel switches and connector on the power supply allow you to program the supply with an analog device or to output readback signals. This section covers the following topics: • See “Remote Analog Programming of Output Voltage and Current Limit”...
Remote Analog Programming of Output Voltage and Current Limit Remote Analog Programming of Output Voltage and Current Limit Remote analog programming allows control of the power supply’s output voltage and/or current limit to shift from local operation at the front panel voltage and current controls to external analog sources.

Remote Monitoring of Output Voltage and Current Remote Monitoring of Output Voltage and Current Readback Signals The J2 connector on the rear panel provides access to calibrated readback signals for remote monitoring of the output voltage and current. Rear panel switches SW1-5 and SW1-6 allow you to select either a 0-5 Vdc or a 0-10 Vdc range for the output.
Calibration and Troubleshooting Chapter 5 details remote analog programming operation and remote monitoring of output voltage and current. It also provides troubleshooting information.
Calibration and Troubleshooting WARNING: Shock hazard Exercise caution when using and calibrating a power supply. High energy levels can be stored at the output voltage terminals on a power supply in normal operation. In addition, potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and on the output and sense connectors of a power supply with a rated output greater than 40 V.
Calibration Setup Accessing Calibration Potentiometers WARNING: Shock hazard Disconnect AC power from the unit before removing the cover. Even when the front panel power switch is in the OFF position, live line voltages are exposed when the cover is removed. Repairs and adjustments must be made by experienced service technicians only.
Calibrating for Programming Accuracy Calibrating for Programming Accuracy The factory calibrates the offset and range of the voltage and current programming circuits to within 1% for the default 0-10 Vdc programming signals. You may need to recalibrate when you use 0-5 Vdc programming or when you switch back to 0-10 Vdc programming after previously calibrating for 0-5 Vdc programming.
Calibration and Troubleshooting Current Limit Programming Circuit Calibration To perform current limit programming circuit calibration: 1. Ensure that the power supply is turned OFF. Disconnect any load. 2. Connect the program source between J2 connector terminals 8 (output current limit programming input) and 7 (current program signal return).
Calibrating for Readback Accuracy Calibrating for Readback Accuracy The factory calibrates the offset and range of the output voltage and current monitor circuits to within 1% for the default 0-10 Vdc scales. You may need to recalibrate when you select the 0-5 Vdc scale or when you switch back to the 0-10 Vdc scale after previously calibrating for 0-5 Vdc operation.
Calibration and Troubleshooting Output Current Monitor Circuit Calibration To perform output current monitor circuit calibration: 1. Ensure that the power supply is turned OFF. Disconnect any load. 2. Set SW1 switch 6 OPEN to select 0-5 V output current monitor range, CLOSED for 0-10 V.
