System-Related Functions Usage method: After the IT-M3600 instrument is connected to the anti-reverse connection mod- ule, the instrument automatically detects the module connection state; if the connection is succeeded, the SDS module setting in the system menu is de- faulted as Enable, and the anti-reverse connection module is under enabled state.

System-Related Functions • Error: Module conflict: When the user attempts to connect several machines in parallel, if any two machines are of not same models, the master unit would give prompt until all modules are consistent. During this period, the output and input cannot be turned on by the master unit, and the power and load modes cannot be switched.
Multi-Machine Operation Multi-Machine Operation ♦ Multi-Channel Function ♦ Synchronized Function (Link) SHOCK HAZARD. All paralleled units must be connected to ground through a grounded power cord at all times. Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal on any unit will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in injury or death.
Multi-Machine Operation • Synchronization operation: 8.1 Multi-Channel Function For multi-channel operation controlled by the PC software, the user will need to install one communication card only into one of the multiples units, and other instruments are connected with the PC through a multi-channel connection with system bus.
Page 106
Multi-Machine Operation When multiple power supplies are connected through the System Bus interface, each power supply must be set to a separate channel number ranging from 1 to 16. The power supply connected to the same system bus, the channel number can not be repeated, otherwise it will cause conflicts.
Multi-Machine Operation a. Connect system bus interfaces. b. Connect the DUTs. Refer to 2.5 Connecting the Device Under Test (DUT) for more information about connection methods. c. Connect the instrument to PC. refer to 2.6 Connect the Communication Interface. 3. After power-on, if the interface prompts “Chan Number Conflict”, rotate the knob to change the channel number directly.

Multi-Machine Operation • Online: indicates the instrument is in the synchronized relationship. At this time, the front panel [Link] key light is lit. • Offline: indicates the instrument is not in the synchronized relationship and the front panel [Link] key light is off. You can enter into the system menu to set the status(Online/Offline) of the instrument, or you can short press (1 s or so) the front panel [Link] key to switch the synchronization status of the instrument.
Page 109
Multi-Machine Operation b. Connect the DUTs. Refer to 2.5 Connecting the Device Under Test (DUT) for more information about connection methods. 3. Turn on the Link switch of each instrument in turns. a. Press [Shift]+[P-set] (System) to enter into the system menu interface. b.
Parallel Function (Parallel) Parallel Function (Parallel) Parallel operation allows the user to connect multiple power supplies simultaneously to create a system with higher total current and power.Each parallel system (group) supports up to 16 single units (1 master and 15 slaves) for parallel connection.
Page 111
Parallel Function (Parallel) 1. Configure the channel number of each instrument. Please refer to 8.1 Multi- Channel Function for detailed introduction. 2. Connect the instruments according to the above diagram. a. Connect system bus interfaces. Before connecting the system bus, be sure that the instrument is single mode.
Page 112
Parallel Function (Parallel) 5. After making the master-slave setting, the master unit will automatically restart to ensure normal operation, the current range will expand, the slave units display “Slave Mode Group-A” in screen. To change Parallel Mode to Single Mode, follow the steps below: 1.
Page 113
Parallel Function (Parallel) f. Repeat steps a through e for the other two master units. Set Master group to B and C. Set Master Total to 2 and 2. 4. Configure other units as slave units. a. Press [Shift]+[P-set] (System) composite keys to enter into the system menu interface.
Routine Maintenance Routine Maintenance This chapter describes the general maintenance items and maintenance methods of the IT-M series instrument. ♦ Instrument Self-Test ♦ Cleaning and Maintenance ♦ Information Reference ♦ Contact of ITECH Engineers ♦ Return for Repair 10.1 Instrument Self-Test Self-test checks that the minimum set of logic and power mesh systems are functioning properly.
Routine Maintenance Clean the outside and the front panel screen of the instrument using a soft, lint- free, cloth slightly dampened with water. Use a brush to clean the dust on the vent and cooling fans. 10.3 Information Reference IT-M3400 has a detailed error and prompt information function, so as to help the user to easily carry out positioning and measurement during measurement and use.
Routine Maintenance 10.4 Contact of ITECH Engineers This section describes operations to be carried out by the user in case of failure of the instrument. Preparation before contact When the instrument fails, you should make the following preparations before returning the instrument to ITECH for repair or contacting engineers. •...
Routine Maintenance 1. Press [Shift]+[P-Set](System) composite keys to enter into the system menu interface. 2. Use left and right keys or rotate the knob to select System Info and press [Enter] key. 3. Use left and right keys or knob to view the SN number. Please record the SN number and provide SN information when doing maintenance service.
Page 118
Routine Maintenance 2. Place the unit in its original container with appropriate packaging material. If the original shipping container is unavailable, use a container that will ensure at least 10 cm (4 in.) of compressible packaging material around the entire instrument. Use static-free packaging materials. 3.
