eSL Manual eSL Model Number Each time you turn on the AC power and close the front panel circuit breaker the eSL will display its model number on the front panel. You will see something like: eSL 30P300 eSL indicates this is the eSL series. 30 stands for 30kV (maximum output voltage). P is for positive output polarity (N would be for negative output polarity).
Page 43
Preset Mode The eSL features a Preset Mode that allows for easy setting of the kV and mA program values. While the power supply is in Standby/HV OFF depress and hold in the green front panel HV OFF button. While doing so, the actual kV and mA values programmed into the power supply will be displayed on the kV and mA meters.
Page 44
Select the Features menu by pressing the current encoder once, you will open the Features submenu which will display: Adjustable Overload Trip Slow Start Exit Adjustable Overload Trip This allows the user to set the current programming level as a trip point that will turn the power supply off with an Over Current fault if it ever tries to operate in Current Mode.

1.2. Network Settings The eSL factory Network settings are as follows, IP address 192.168.10.61 Subnet Address 255.255.255.0 Port 50001 It is possible to change these settings by invoking the embedded web server. To access the webserver, using your preferred Internet browser, enter unit’s IP address on search text box. The following menu will appear after you enter username and password. The username is admin and password is shv. Note. Exercise caution when changing network settings as this may lead to communication failures. 118158‐001 REV. A 6 OF 20 ...
1.3. Reset Ethernet Port Settings to Factory Configuration The Ethernet port inside the eSL unit can be set back to its default factory configuration. This is useful when the eSL has problems establishing communications and current network settings are unknown. With the eSL power turned off, find JP1 jumper header located on the back of ESL front panel. Place a jumper across JP1 two pins and turn power on. Using your preferred Internet browser, enter default IP address 192.168.10.61 on search box. Log in screen should appear. Enter same credentials as shown above.
