3) Connect the power supplies together.
a. On the analog connector in the back of the unit connect all pins 2 together to tie the analog grounds together.
b. Also on the analog connector in the back of the unit connect pin 5 (Sharing Output) of the master supply to pins 3 (Voltage
Control Input) of the slave supply.
c. Now connect the all the positive outputs together and all the negative outputs together.
You have now completed setup for parallel operation of the power supplies. When connected to a load, voltage and current will
be determined by the master supply. Adjusting the voltage on the master will adjust the outputs on all of the supplies. As the
load changes, the current will be shared between all of the supplies. Note that the current setting on the master will reflect the
actual current output by the paralleled supplies divided by the number of supplies in parallel.
For series supplies take the following steps:
1) On the slave supply set the current to the maximum current that will be desired in the application. Note that this voltage
setting on the slave will not be the actual current output. The actual current output will be determined by the master. This
setting will only determine the maximum current that will be output by the slave when following the master.
2) Put the power supply in analog current control mode by doing the following:
a. Put the power supply is setup mode
b. When MODE is displayed press the output on/off button then rotate the voltage or current control until the following screen is
displayed.
c. Press the output on/off button
d. Press the output on/off button again to choose full scale as a 10 volt input.
e. Rotate the voltage or current control until the Exit screen is displayed.
