Page 8: Operations
Operations Basic Mode of Operation This power supply is designed to operate as a constant voltage source or as a constant current source. Automatic crossover to either mode of operation occurs when the load condition changes as following: Constant Voltage (CV), Automatic crossover & Constant Current (CC) The power supply functions as a constant voltage source (CV) as long as the load current is less than the preset current limiting value. - Page 9 6. Connect to your load positive to positive and negative to negative. 7. Turn on the output terminal again and check if display shows (CV). 8. If display shows (CC), either your pre-set current limiting value is too low or your load requires more voltage and current.
- Page 10 Connecting outputs in series (using PSC-4136 as an example) You can have a 17V fixed output by connecting the 5V in series with the 12V outputs. The 2 outputs (Aux.1) can be connected in series to make a variable 5V to 41V with maximum current 2A (Fig.
- Page 11 Tracking Output Over Voltage Protection (OVP) This is to protect the connected load in the event that the output voltage control circuit malfunctions, the maximum output voltage will not exceed 30% of the adjusted voltage value at the time of the operation. Over Temperature Protection When the temperature inside the power supply becomes higher than a pre-deter- mined value, the output voltage and current of the power supply will automati-...
