Refer to this table if you are unfamiliar with the installation requirements for the power supply. Complete each step in the sequence given. Table 2-1 Basic Setup Procedure Step Description...
Step 1: Inspecting and Cleaning Initial Inspection When you first receive your unit, perform a physical check: 1. Inspect the unit for any scratches and cracks, broken switches, connectors or displays. 2. For the XTR 850 Watt only, ensure that the packing box contains the 7.5 foot (2.5 m) power cord.
Installation Step 2: Location and Mounting The power supply may be rack-mounted or used in benchtop applications. Rack Mounting The XTR 850 Watt power supply is designed to fill half of a standard 19 inch (483 mm) equipment rack. The XTR 1700 Watt is designed to fill a standard 19 inch (483 mm) equipment rack.
Step 3: Connecting AC Input Power WARNING: Shock hazard Disconnect AC power from the unit before removing the cover. Even with the front panel power switch in the Off position, live line voltages are exposed when the cover is removed. Repairs must be made by an Authorized Service Center. WARNING There is a potential shock hazard if the power supply chassis and cover are not connected to an electrical ground via the safety ground in the AC input...
Installation XTR 1700 Watt AC Input Connector On the XTR 1700 Watt, the AC input connector is a 3-terminal wire clamp located on the rear panel of the power supply. See Figure 2-1. Figure 2-1 XTR 1700 Watt AC Input Cover and Strain Relief Screw (1 place) 100 - 240 Vac 47-63 Hz, 2200 VA...
XTR 1700 Watt AC Input Wire The XTR 1700 Watt is not supplied with a power cord or a non-locking AC plug. Table 2-2 specifies the recommended AC input wire size. You must also purchase and install the correctly rated non-locking plug for your installation.
Page 38
Installation 6. Route the wires inside the cover to prevent pinching. Fasten the AC cover to the unit using the screw provided. See Figure 2-1. 975-0200-01-01...
Step 4: Selecting Load Wires This section provides recommendations for selecting minimum load wire sizes. Load Wiring To select the wiring for connecting the load to the power supply, consider the following factors: • Insulation rating of the wire. • Current carrying capacity of the wire.
Installation Maximum Load Wiring Length For Operation With Sense Lines Figure 2-2 Maximum Load Wire Length for 1 V Line Drop Noise and Impedance Effects To minimize noise pickup or radiation, use shielded twisted pair wiring of the shortest possible length for load sense wires. Connect the shield to the power supply chassis.
Step 5: Performing Functional Tests The functional test procedures include: • Power-on and front panel functional checks • Voltage mode operation and current mode operation checks. For information on local operation, see “Local Operation” on page 3–1 for adjusting front panel controls and settings. Powering the Power Supply On/Off To power on the power supply: 1.
Installation Voltage and Current Mode Operation Checks To perform the voltage and current mode operation checks: 1. Ensure that the front panel power switch is in the On position and the output is disconnected. 2. If the OUTPUT ON/OFF button is illuminated, press the button to turn off the output.
Step 6: Connecting Loads This section describes how to connect loads to the power supply for both single and multiple loads. WARNING: Shock hazard There is a shock hazard at the power supply output when operating at an output greater than 40 V. To protect personnel against accidental contact with hazardous voltages, ensure that the load and its connections have no accessible live parts.
Installation Inductive Loads To prevent damage to the power supply from inductive kickback, connect a diode across the output. The diode must have a voltage rating at least 20% greater than the power supply's output voltage and have a current rating greater than or equal to the power supply's output rating.
Connecting Multiple Loads The proper connection of distributed loads is an important aspect of power supply use. The common method of connection is a radial load connection. Power is connected to each load individually from a single pair of terminals designated as the positive and negative distribution terminals.
Installation Step 7: Connecting Remote Sensing WARNING: Shock hazard There is a potential shock hazard at the sense connectors when using a power supply at an output greater than 40 V. Select wiring with a minimum insulation rating equivalent to the maximum output voltage of the power supply for use as local sense jumpers or for remote sense wires.
Page 47
3. Connect one end of the shielded twisted pair wire to the chassis ground point on the power supply. 4. Connect the positive sense line (+SNS) from the positive regulation point as close as possible to the load terminals to pin J1.1. 5.
Local Operation Chapter 3, Local Operation, provides the procedures for local (front panel) operation such as: • Configuring settings. • Operating in constant voltage mode and constant current mode. • Using the protection features. • Using multiple power supplies.
Local Operation Introduction Once you have installed the power supply and connected both the AC input power and the load (covered in “Installation” on page 2–1), the power supply is ready for local operation. To turn the power supply on, see “Powering the Power Supply On/Off”...
Fine adjustment Pressing the Rotary knob/Enter button to change the mode to fine adjustment mode provides the ability to manipulate the last significant mode digit. Once the exact desired value for the setting has been selected, press the Rotary knob/Enter button to commit the value to the unit. The coarse and fine adjustment modes are used for setting the voltage and current set points, OVP and UVP settings.
Local Operation Navigating the Menu System The menu system of the XTR follows a select and set model with the exception of the VOL and CUR modes. See “Setting VOL and CUR Modes”. The general procedure for setting up the features in the select and set model is: 1.
Page 53
• When the CUR mode is selected, the current set point will blink in the output current display. 2. Use the Rotary knob/Enter button to adjust the set point. The adjustments you make to the set point affect the opposing output value (voltage when in CUR mode or current when in VOL), which will update in the non-blinking display.
Local Operation Normal Display Mode and Inactivity Timeout Normal display mode appears on the output voltage and current displays when the configuration changes from the front panel have been completed or when the inactivity timeout occurs (default is 3 seconds). Normal display mode shows the output voltage and current values.

Local Operation Display Messages on the Front Panel The front panel displays on the power supply will use text as shown in Table 3-2 to indicate the status or mode. Table 3-2 Front Panel Display Text Display Text 8888 ADDr ANPR AvAS CAPr...
Page 57
Table 3-2 Front Panel Display Text Display Text LE U LOCL OvPF OUPC R IS rnIS SAFE SAUE U IS UN IS UvPF UAPr A blinking numeric value is either a voltage or current set point in tracking mode. The display in which the set point appears, output voltage or output current display, indicates the type of set point, voltage or current.
Local Operation Standard Operation The power supply can be controlled by two methods, either from the front panel or from any of the remote interfaces. Front panel control is referred to as local operation (default setting) while control via any of the remote interfaces is called remote operation.
Page 59
Output disabled The mode of operation is not determined until the output is enabled. The CV and CC mode LEDs will not indicate the mode while the output is disabled. Constant Voltage Mode Operation If the output is enabled and the configured current set point is much higher than the requirements for the attached load, then the voltage will rise until it reaches the voltage set point.
Local Operation The reverse operating mode change can also occur if the load resistance is increased to the point that the required load current drops below the I value. At that point the power supply would crossover to CV mode and the load current would be free to vary as the load resistance changed Figure 3-3 Operating Modes To set...
Page 61
5. Once the desired value has been set, press the Rotary knob/Enter button to commit the setting. Important: output voltage up to 105% over the model-rated maximum value. The power supply will operate within these extended ranges, but full performance to specification is not guaranteed.
Local Operation Shipped Configuration (Local Operation) The power supply is configured for local operation at the factory. See Table 3-3 for a summary of this configuration. For more information on default settings, see Table 3-9 on page 3–35. Table 3-3 Shipped Configuration Local Control Configuration Use the front panel controls to adjust the output voltage and...
Turning the Auxiliary Output On/Off To turn on the auxiliary output: u Press the AUX ON/OFF button on the front panel. The AUX ON/OFF button will illuminate. Important: and Pin J3.2 (or Pin J3. 6 COM_ISOLATED) are shorted. See “AUX Output and Isolated Analog Programming (ISOL) Connector” on page 4–19.
Local Operation Auxiliary Auto Start Mode The Auxiliary Auto Start mode determines the state of the auxiliary output after a complete power cycle (all front panel LEDS are not illuminated). With Auxiliary Auto Start mode turned to On, the auxiliary output will be activated after the power supply is powered up again.
Alarms and Errors Several conditions can cause alarms in the XTR. Some conditions are: • From user configurable features. • Controlled in hardware and will trigger regardless of configuration. All alarms, with the exception of the Fan alarm, will result in the output of the power supply being disabled.
Local Operation Clearing Alarms Clearing Triggered and Manual Alarms To clear a triggered alarm, use one of the following methods: • Turn the power supply Off and then On. • Press and hold the Rotary knob/Enter button for 3 seconds. •...
Clearing Automatic Alarms Some alarms will clear automatically when the condition that caused the alarm is no longer present. When an alarm automatically clears, the output voltage and current displays will return to normal, but the ALARM LED will remain illuminated to indicate that an alarm has occurred. If an automatic alarm is triggered, the normal alarm clearing procedure still applies.
Local Operation The alarm LED will remain illuminated until the alarm is manually cleared (see “Clearing Triggered and Manual Alarms” on page 3–18) or by turning the main output on if the alarm has automatically been cleared. Alarm Masking It is possible to completely disable some alarms through the use of the alarm mask.
Alarm Output Latching When an alarm is triggered, the output will be disabled with the exception of the Fan alarm. When an alarm is cleared, the alarm output latch determines if the output should be re-enabled to the state before the alarm occurred or if the output should remain in the off state.
Local Operation Setting Foldback Mode Foldback mode is used to disable the output when a transition is made between the operating modes. The power supply will turn off/disable the output and lock in foldback mode after a specified delay if the power supply transitions into CV mode or into CC mode, depending on the foldback mode settings.
4. Press the Rotary knob/Enter button to commit the setting once the desired value has been set. 5. The green FLD LED will turn off and the display will return to the normal display mode. The SCPI command (s) for these instructions are: [:]OUTPut[<channel>]:PROTection:FOLDback[:MODE] [:]OUTPut[<channel>]:PROTection:FOLDback:LATCh Important:...
Local Operation Using Over Voltage Protection (OVP) The OVP circuit protects the load in the event of an analog programming error, an incorrect voltage control adjustment, or a power supply failure. The OVP circuit monitors the output voltage at the output of the power supply and will disable the output whenever a preset voltage set point is exceeded.
Using Under Voltage Protection (UVP) The UVP prevents voltage settings below a set value. The UVP lets you create a voltage window of operation when used in conjunction with the OVP setting. The UVP range is variable from 0 V to V This feature is only available in APG mode.
Local Operation Using Over Temperature Protection Lock (OTP) The OTP lock protects the power supply in the event of an over temperature alarm. This alarm could be caused by ventilation restriction or overheating due to fan failure. Two modes are available: •...
Current Configuration Memory Settings The power supply will save the unit settings at the time of power down. These settings will be loaded when the power is restored to the unit or the power supply is powered up again. Table 3-7 lists the settings that are saved and recalled on a power cycle event.
Local Operation User Setting Memory Locations There are three user setting memory locations available for storing frequently used configurations. These user setting memory locations help to facilitate multiple users of an XTR power supply who have different setups or when multiple loads are used that have different requirements. Table 3-8 lists the values that are stored in each user setting memory location.
4. The setting has now been saved to the selected user setting memory location. The SCPI command (s) for these instructions are: *SAV [:]SYSTem[<channel>]:SAVE Recalling User Setting Memory Locations This feature recalls settings that were previously saved. To load user setting memory locations: 1.
Local Operation Local Lockout Local lockout is a feature that allows the front panel to be locked so that accidental button presses are ignored. This feature is often used to lockout the front panel when you are controlling the power supply from a remote location.
Using the External Shutdown Function Use the external shutdown function to enable or disable the output of the power supply via a logic level signal. When the external shutdown is triggered, the power supply will display SD POL on the output voltage and current displays and the ALARM LED will illuminate.
Page 80
Local Operation 3. Press the Rotary knob/Enter button to display SD 0 (shutdown on logic 1) or SD1 (shutdown on logic 0). 4. Press the Rotary knob/Enter button to commit the desired polarity setting. For example: If you set the shutdown logic to 1 (SD1) and apply a logic high (greater than 1.2 Vdc) to pin J3.12 relative to pin J3.6 on the ISOL connector, the power supply will shut down.
Interlock Function The Interlock function can be used to wire an external shutoff switch that can be used to enable or disable the power supply output. When the switch is closed the power supply will operate normally. If the switch is opened, the power supply will trigger the interlock alarm.
Local Operation • Shutdown activated (rear panel shutdown). • Internal hardware malfunction • Fan failure Hardware Malfunction Alarms The power supply will turn off the output. An error message will be displayed in the event that: • OVP trips • Voltage deviation in CV mode reaches more than ±5% from the set level.
Resetting the Power Supply The reset is used to clear the parameters to the factory default values. To perform a reset: 1. Turn the power supply to Off then On. When the unit is powering on, 8888 8888 is displayed on the output voltage and current displays.
Local Operation Table 3-9 Power Supply Default Settings Parameter Foldback delay Analog programming Analog programming range | Current Share Mode | MASTer | Alarm Output Latches Alarms Mask Interlock Voltage Analog Programming Voltage APG Scale Current Analog Programming Current APG Scale To reset the power supply: 1.
Using Multiple Power Supplies WARNING: Shock hazard There is a shock hazard at the load when using a power supply at an output of greater than 40V or a combined output of greater than 40V. To protect personnel against accidental contact with hazardous voltages created by a series connection, ensure that the load, including connections, has no live parts which are accessible.
Configuring Multiple Supplies for Series Operation A maximum of two power supplies of the same rating can be connected in series to increase the output voltage. CAUTION When two power supplies are connected in series, they should be programmed to the same output voltage to prevent damage to the lower voltage supply at short circuit condition.
Local Operation Connecting to the Load in Remote Sensing Mode Connect the negative (–) output terminal of one power supply to the positive (+) output terminal of the next power supply. The more positive supply’s positive sense line should connect to the positive terminal of the load (or distribution point).
Configuring Multiple Supplies for Current Sharing Operation (APG Method) Up to four power supplies can be connected in parallel to increase the output current. One of the units will operate as the master unit and the remaining units will operate as slave units controlled by the master unit. The master unit uses the analog programming lines to set the output voltages and currents of the slave units to match its output.
Page 90
Local Operation Setting Over Voltage Protection (OVP) The master unit’s OVP should be programmed to the desired OVP level. The OVP of the slave units should be programmed to a higher value than the master OVP. When the master unit shuts down, it will program the outputs of the slave units to zero volts.
Connecting to the Load in Local Sensing Mode (Parallel Control Method) Connect the power supplies in parallel to obtain a single output supply with a higher output current set point. Set all of the outputs to the same voltage before connecting the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals in parallel.

Multichannel Address Setting The power supply multichannel address can be set to any address between 1 to 30. All units that are connected together via the RS-232 or RS-485 connector must have a unique multichannel address. To set the address: 1.
Remote Operation Where: <address> is the multichannel address of the device to be selected. The address is an integer value from 1 to 30. Multichannel Commands Explained The use of multichannel addressing allows you to send messages to one device, more than one device or to all devices. Any of the remote interface types can be used to send a multichannel command through the device that is physically connected to the PC to all the devices, provided that all other devices are connected to via the RS-485 bus.
Table 5-8 Rules for Multichannel Responses Condition Multiple multichannel addresses specified Multichannel commands are particularly useful for configuring groups of devices that require identical configurations. The SCPI Commands for these instructions are: [:]<root command> <ALL|addr1>[,[ ]<addr2>][,[ ]<addr3>][,...]:<command> <parameter> For example: sour 1, 2, 3, 7:volt 4.5 syst4,5,6:oper:enab 255 syst ALL:clear...
Remote Operation represents the logical OR of all the bits from the enable register. The model has several ellipses which are there to indicate that the pattern of logic shown is repeated for all bits in the registers. Figure 5-18 SCPI Status Reporting Model 5-24 975-0200-01-01...
Status Registers Model from IEEE 488.2 The IEEE 488.2 registers shown in the bottom rectangle of Figure 5-18 follow the IEEE 488.2 model for status registers. The IEEE 488.2 register only has enable registers for masking the summary bits. Figure 5-19 shows the details on the relationship between the mask/enable registers and the summary bits.
Remote Operation Status Byte The Status byte register contains the STB and RQS (MSS) messages as defined in 488.1. You can read the status byte register using a 488.1 serial poll or the 488.2 *STB? common command. The *STB? query causes the device to send the contents of the Status Byte Register and the Master Summary Status (MSS) summary message.
Message Available (MAV) This bit is TRUE whenever the power supply is ready to accept a request by the Digital Programming Interface to output data bytes. This message is FALSE when the output queue is empty. Standard Event Status Summary (ESB) This bit is TRUE when a bit is set in the Standard Event Status Register.
Page 150
Remote Operation For example: Sending *SRE 8 sets bit 3 of the Service Request Enable Register. This will cause the Summary bit of the Questionable Status register (bit 3) in the Status Byte to generate a service request message whenever it gets set. (See “Status Byte”...
Standard Event Status Register (SESR) The standard event status register sets bits for specific events during power supply operation. All bits in the standard event status registers are set through the error event queue. The register is defined by IEEE 488.2 register and is controlled using 488.2 common commands: *ESE, *ESE?, and *ESR? as well as SCPI aliases for multichannel use.

In all subsequent figures that have SCPI registers, this structure will be condensed down into a single block to simplify the figures. The simplified block will show a 16-bit register and the summary bit.
OPERation Status Register The operation status register is a standard SCPI, 16-bit register which contains information about conditions which are part of the power supply's normal operation. The Operation Status data structure has the operation status register and two sub-registers to represent shutdown and protection shutdown.

Calibration and Troubleshooting Step 2: Offset Calibration Figure 6-3 Calibration: Step 2 Offset Calibration Adjust the offset so that the real and ideal lines intersect at a programmed value of 10%. Step 3: Recalibrate Gain Figure 6-4 Calibration: Step 3 Recalibrate Gain Repeat Step 1 for best results.
Calibrating the Output Voltage Gain calibration of the power supply has the greatest affect on the accuracy in the high voltage range. Offset calibration has the greatest affect on accuracy of the power supply at low voltages. The same calibration command is used for the gain and offset calibrations. The type of calibration is determined internally by the XTR depending on if the set point is above 10% of the maximum output voltage value or not.
Calibration and Troubleshooting Important: For best results, both calibrations may be repeated several times. The SCPI Command (s) for these instructions are: [:]CALibration[<channel>]:OUTPut{:VOLTage]{<voltmeter reading in volts>} Calibrating the Output Current Gain Calibration To perform gain calibration: 1. Disconnect the power supply from the load. 2.
After performing offset calibration, it is highly recommended that you repeat gain calibration. Important: SCPI Command CALibration[<channel>]:OUTPut:CURRent{<ammeter reading in amps>} Over Voltage Protection Calibration To calibrate the over voltage protection: 1. Turn the power supply to On. 2. Set the output voltage to 90% of the maximum APG level value. See “Voltage-Controlled Voltage APG Setup”...

SCPI Command Hierarchy SCPI is an ASCII-based command language designed for use in test and measurement equipment. The command structure is organized around common roots, or nodes, which are the building blocks of SCPI subsystems. An example of a common root is CALibration, and some of the commands that reside in the CALibration subsystem are: [:]CALibration [:OUTPut]...
SCPI Command Reference Using SCPI Commands This Manual shows SCPI commands in the following format: CALibration:CURRent:LEVel {<current>|MIN|MAX} The command is expressed as a mixture of upper- and lowercase letters. The uppercase letters suggest how the command can be abbreviated into a short form.
Page 213
The following punctuation is not sent with the command string: • Braces ({ }), or curly brackets, identify a selection of choices. Choose one of the enclosed values. • Vertical bars, or pipes, ( | ) can be read as “or” and is used to separate the choices found within the braces.
SCPI Command Reference Terminating Characters Every command string must end with a terminating <new line> character. It is also acceptable to use a <carriage return> followed by a <new line>. Terminating a command string always resets the SCPI command path to the root level.
Page 215
Numeric Parameters Numeric parameters are number representations such as decimal points, optional signs, and scientific notation. Values such as MINimum and MAXimum are accepted as substitutes for numbers. When DEFault is provided as a parameter, the machine selects the default value automatically.
SCPI Command Reference SPCI Command Tree The SCPI commands are organized into a tree structure. To illustrate the tree structure, the following tree has been provided. Each level of indentation presents a branch. The command to execute can then be found by following the tree from the root or farthest left node all the way down to the leaf node.
SCPI Command Summary The SCPI commands supported by this programmable power supply are described in the tables in the remainder of this section. These tables use the following column headings: • Function The commonly used name for the function. • SCPI Command The full command in long form.

Error Messages Appendix B, Error Messages, provides information on the error messages which may appear. Errors are placed in a queue as they are detected.
Error Messages Error Messages Errors are placed in a queue as they are detected. The queue works on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis. If the queue overflows, the last error in the queue is replaced with error –350, “Queue Overflow”. When all errors have been read from the queue, further error queries return 0, “No error”.
Execution Error List An error in the range [-299, -200] indicates that an error has been detected by the instrument’s execution control block. The occurrence of any error in the class causes the execution error bit (bit 4) in the Event Status Register to be set.
Error Messages Table B-2 Execution Error List Error Code Error Message Description -284 -285 -290 Device-Specific Error List An error in the range [-399, 300] or [1, 32767] indicates that the instrument has detected an error which is not a command error, a query error, or an execution error;...
Table B-3 Device-Specific Error List Error Code Error Message Description -330 -350 -360 -361 -362 -363 Query Error List An error number in the range [-499, -400] indicates that the output queue control of the instrument has detected a problem with the message exchange protocol described in IEEE 488.2, chapter 6.
