LINKINGSOURCES (Option 8 Linking Card Required) IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU BEGIN MAKING CONNECTIONS, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT THE POWER SWITCH ON THE 300XAC INSTRUMENT IS IN THE OFF POSITION. PARALLEL MODE (1Ø2W) In Parallel Mode, two (2) or three (3) instruments may be connected together in parallel, to increase the total current output of the system.
LINKINGSOURCES In Parallel Mode, each instruments’ LINE output must be connected together at the load. If you are linking two sources there will be two line connections. If you are linking three sources there will be three line connections. (See Figure 4) Also, each instruments’...

LINKINGSOURCES (Option 8 Linking Card Required) IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU BEGIN MAKING CONNECTIONS, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT THE POWER SWITCH ON THE 300XAC INSTRUMENT IS IN THE OFF POSITION. POLYPHASE OUTPUT MODE (1Ø3W) In Polyphase Mode, two (2) or three (3) instruments connected together may be used to increase the total voltage output of the system, or change the output configuration from 1Ø...

LINKINGSOURCES (Option 8 Linking Card Required) IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU BEGIN MAKING CONNECTIONS, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT THE POWER SWITCH ON THE 300XAC INSTRUMENT IS IN THE OFF POSITION. POLYPHASE OUTPUT MODE (3Ø4W) If three (3) instruments are interconnected 3Ø4W mode is available. This mode allows the operator to configure the instruments for three phase operation.
FUNCTIONMODE The FUNCTION mode changes the output voltage configuration. Power up all instruments. From the Set screen press the “<more>” soft key and in the next screen press the “System” soft key. In the System Parameters Menu, you can use the up or down arrow soft keys to highlight the FUNCTION parameter.
