PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series Safety 1.7.1 Safety notices Mortal danger - Hazardous voltage • Electrical equipment operation means that some parts can be under dangerous voltage. Therefore all parts under voltage must be covered! This basically applies to all models, though 40 V models according to SELV can’t generate hazardous DC voltage.
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series 1.7.2 Responsibility of the user The equipment is in industrial operation. Therefore the operators are governed by the legal safety regulations. Alongside the warning and safety notices in this manual the relevant safety, accident prevention and environmental regulations must also be applied.
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series 1.7.5 Alarm signals Alarm conditions, not danger situations, are signalled on the front of this slave device in form of a red LED “Error” (also see section 1.8.4.). Because the models of this series are designed to run as slave units in a master-slave system, the master unit will indicate alarms in its own available ways.

On/Off button Can be used to switch the DC output on or off during manual operation, while LED “Remote” = off USB port For quick and easy access to the most important DC output related values when the deivce is not in master- slave mode.
General description The electronic high performance power supplies of the PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave are designed to extend the power of compatible models from series PSI 9000 WR 3U. The slave models are reduced to basic functions and will usu- ally run in remote control from a master of a master-slave system.
Doing so is only necessary and possible in these two situations: 1. The PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave shall run as stand-alone device which is not controlled by a PSI 9000 WR 3U master. 2. The PSI 9000 WR 3U shall, due to the lack of a suitable PSI 9000 WR 3U master device, be the master of other PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave devices.
1.9.7 “Sense” connector (remote sensing) The devices of series PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave are supposed to run as slave units in a master-slave system where the remote sensing feature is only used and connected to the master unit. For stand-alone operation outside of a master-slave setup this feature can be wired and used on the Slave mode as well.
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series Installation & commissioning Transport and storage 2.1.1 Transport • The handles on the front side of the device are not for carrying! • Because of its weight, transport by hand should be avoided where possible. If unavoidable then only the housing should be held and not on the exterior parts (handles, DC output terminal, rotary knobs).

Disadvantage of this combination: higher costs compared to a system with PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave models Combination 2: One PSI 9000 WR 3U with one or multiple PSI 9000...
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series 2.3.2.2 AC supply AC supply connection for power supply is done via the included 5 pole plug on the rear of the device. Wiring of the plug is always 4 strand (L1+L2+L3+PE) of suitable cross section and length. For recommendations for cable cross section see „2.3.4.
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series 2.3.4 Connection to AC supply • Connection to an AC mains supply may only be carried out by qualified personnel! • Cable cross section must be suitable for the maximum input current of the device (see tables below)! • Before plugging in the input plug ensure that the device is switched off by its mains switch! • The PE conductor is imperative and must always be wired! The equipment is delivered with a 5 pole mains plug.

PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series 2.3.4.3 Strain relief and plug fixture There is a standard fixture mounted to the AC input con- nection block on the rear. It is used to prevent the AC plug from loosening and disconnecting due to vibrations or similar. The fixture is also used as strain relief. Being tied to the AC input block with 4x M3 acorn nuts, it is recommend to mount the fixture every time the AC plug has been removed.
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series 2.3.5 Connection to DC loads • In the case of a device with a high nominal current and hence a thick and heavy DC connec- tion cable it is necessary to take account of the weight of the cable and the strain imposed on the DC connection.
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series 2.3.5.2 Cable lead and plastic cover A plastic cover for contact protection is included for the DC terminal. It should always be installed. The cover for type 2 (see picture above) is fixed to the connector itself, for type 1 to the back of the device. Furthermore the cover for type 1 has break outs so that the supply cable can be laid in various directions.
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series Figure 8 - Example for remote sensing wiring 2.3.8 Connecting the “Share” bus The “Share” bus connector on the rear side is intended to balance the current of multiple units in parallel opera- tion, especially when using the integrated function generator of the master unit. Alternatively, it can be connected to a compatible electronic load, like from series ELR 9000, in order to run a two-quadrants operation.
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series 2.3.10 Initial commission For the first start-up after installation of the device, the following procedures have to be executed: • Confirm that the connection cables to be used are of a satisfactory cross section! • Check if the factory settings of set values, safety and monitoring functions and communication are suitable for your intended application of the device and adjust them if required, as described in the manual! • In case of remote control via PC, read the additional documentation for interfaces and software!
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series Operation and application Personal safety • In order to guarantee safety when using the device, it is essential that only persons operate the device who are fully acquainted and trained in the required safety measures to be taken when working with dangerous electrical voltages • For models which can generate a voltage which is dangerous by contact, or is connected to...
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series 3.2.2 Current regulation / constant current / current limiting Current regulation is also known as current limiting or constant current mode (CC). The DC output current is held constant by the power supply, once the output current to the load reaches the ad- justed limit. Then the power supply automatically switches to CC. The current flowing from the power supply is...
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series Alarm conditions This section only gives an overview about device alarms. What to do in case your device indi- cates an alarm condition is described in section „3.6. Alarms and monitoring“. As a basic principle, all alarm conditions are signalled optically (by LED “Error” on the front) and via the digital interface ports.
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series Manual operation Manual operation is a secondary functionality for this type of device. It is intended to run under constant remote control by a master unit. Thus the number of available functions in manual control is reduced, compared to a standard PSI 9000 WR 3U device.
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series Remote control 3.5.1 General Remote control is essential when operating devices of this series, for example during master-slave. It is furthermore possible to take over remote via one of the built-in USB ports. Important here is that only one of the digital interfaces or a master unit can be in control.
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series Alarms and monitoring 3.6.1 Definition of terms The device signalises alarms (see „3.3. Alarm conditions“) such as overvoltage (OV) or overheating (OT) via the front LED “Error” and as readable status via digital interface. When running the device as Slave as part of a master- slave system, the alarm is also reported to the master and if the master is with display, the alarm is indicated there as well. Basically, device alarms will switch off the DC output, primarily in order to protect the connected load and...

PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series 3.6.2.1 User defined events The monitoring functions of the device can be configured for user defined events. By default, events are deac- tivated (action = NONE). Contrary to device alarms, the events only work while the DC output is switched on. It means, for instance, that you cannot detect undervoltage (UVD) anymore after switching the DC output off and the voltage is still sinking. The following events can be configured independently and can in each case trigger the actions NONE, SIGNAL, WARNING or ALARM.
This can be done using the standard models with display or the new slave models (PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave, available since mid of 2017). Only disadvantage: the slave models are only available as 15 kW versions, so they only match the 15 kW standard models.

PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series Later operation of the MS system implies: • The master unit calculates the sum of the actual values of all the units and makes them available to read via the digital interfaces • The ranges for setting the values, adjustment limits, protections (OVP etc.) and user events (UVD etc.) of the master are adapted to the total number of units.
3.7.2 Series connection The device from series PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave are supposed to run in master-slave parallel operation. In case different kinds of operation are intended for a device and it is removed from the master-slave system, series con- nection of two or multiple units is possible, but with restrictions. For reasons of safety and keeping the insulation intact, following restrictions apply: • Both, negative (DC-) and positive (DC+) output poles, are connected to PE via type X capaci-...
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series 3.7.3 Two quadrants operation (2QO) 3.7.3.1 Overview The so-called two-quadrants operation, which is based on the source-sink principle, couples a power supply and an electronic load are via a control signal. It enables the automatic switchover between either the source or the sink being active.
PSI 9000 WR 3U Slave Series Service and maintenance Maintenance / cleaning The device needs no maintenance. Cleaning may be needed for the internal fans, the frequency of cleanse is depending on the ambient conditions. The fans serve to cool the components which are heated by the inherent power loss. Heavily dirt filled fans can lead to insufficient airflow and therefore the DC output would switch off too...
