  • Page 43: Step 6: Connecting Loads

    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.
  • Page 44: Inductive Loads

    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.
  • Page 45: Connecting Multiple Loads

    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.
  • Page 46: Step 7: Connecting Remote Sensing

    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.

    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.
  • Page 52: Navigating The Menu System

    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.

  • Page 58: Standard Operation

    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.
  • Page 60: Figure 3-3 Operating Modes

    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 65: Alarms And Errors

    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.
  • Page 66: Clearing Alarms

    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. •...
  • Page 67: Front Panel Alarm Led

    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.
  • Page 68: Alarm Masking

    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.
  • Page 69: Alarm Output Latching

    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.
  • Page 70: Setting Foldback Mode

    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.

    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.

  • Page 79: Using The External Shutdown Function

    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.

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.

    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.
  • Page 246: Command Error List

    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”.
  • Page 247: Execution Error List

    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.
