Jumpers are fitted to SEL1 to 7 to inform the microcontroller of the model type and to LK1 and LK2
to power the opto-couplers, see table below.

The transformer windings are in series for the high voltage range and in parallel for the low voltage
range. D4, R14,C16 and D7,R15,C17 ensure the correct switching sequence of the range relays.
IC8C and IC8D form an oscillator to drive the buzzer.
TP2 carries a synchronising pulse output which makes it possible to view the DAC sample and
hold outputs and the ADC input selector signals.
TP3 provides an output that toggles at each stage of the range change switching sequence.
Control Pcb
IC2 is a 16-bit DAC and the reference to it is supplied via IC19B which allows fine adjustment for
voltage and current settings. The DAC output is multiplexed into 7 sample and holds. IC14A is for
the voltage control (VC); when the output is off IC42B grounds its input via VR2. IC28B drives the
guard track (GV) round the VC sample and hold. An identical circuit is used for the current control
(IC). IC20B is the voltage control error amplifier and IC21A is a differential amplifier. With the
output at 35.0V VM will be -1.74V and VC will be 1.47V. Comparator IC26B is for over voltage
protection (OVP). A relay selects local or remote voltage sensing; if the voltage between an output
and its sense reaches 2xVbe either Q19 or Q20 will turn on turning the output off.
IC20A is the current control error amplifier and IC22 is a differential amplifier with a gain of 10. R50
is used for the high current range and R51 is used for the 500mA range selected by IC23. Q3
shorts out R51 when the high current range is selected. If the current limit is set to 2.0A IC will be
approximately 846mV. With a 2Amp load on the high range IM will be –1V. Over current protection
(OCP) is realised in software. When the power supply is in constant current mode IC20A has
control and comparator IC17B drives the CI line high.
