Brief Introduction SPD3303C LED series Programmable DC Power Supply is convenient, flexible and multi-function. It is designed with three groups of independent output terminals, the output voltage of two groups is adjustable and another group is fixed to select: 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V. The instrument also provides output short circuit and overload protection.
The consigner or carrier will be responsible for damages to the instrument resulting from shipment. SIGLENT would not provide free maintenance or replacement. 2. Inspect the instrument.

Safety Considerations To ensure that the instrument can work normally, please conduct necessary inspection before using the SPD3303C. Input Power Requirement The SPD3303C allows a 50Hz/60Hz frequency, and four levels of AC power: 100V/ 120V/ 220V/ 230V. You can select wanted power voltage with the “DIP Switch ” at the rear panel according to the actual demand.

Output Summary SPD3303C is designed with three independent outputs, two of which are adjustable in voltage value and the other includes a set of selectable voltage values: 2.5V, 3.3V or 5.0V. Independent/Parallel/Series SPD3303C has three output modes: independent, parallel and series that could be selected through the track switch on the front panel.
Page 18
CH1/CH2 Independent Output Instruction: CH1 and CH2 are working in independent mode and insulated from the ground. Output ratings 0~32V / 0~3.2A Operation steps 1. Make sure that parallel/series mode is off. 2. Connect load to the positive and negative terminals of CH1/CH2. 3.
Page 19
CH3 Independent mode Instruction: CH3 works independently from CH1, CH2, and its voltage and current ratings are: 2.5V, 3.3V, 5V, 3.2A. Output ratings 2.5V/ 3.3V/ 5V, 3.2A Operation steps: 1. Connect the load to the positive and negative terminal of CH3 channel. 2.
Page 20
CH1/CH2 Series Mode Instruction: In the series mode, CH1 and CH2 are linked internally into one channel controlled by CH1. The output voltage value is twice compared with that of single channel. Output ratings 0~60V/ 0~3.2A Operation steps: 1. Press the to start the Series mode, and the indicator light turns bright 2.
Page 21
CH1/CH2 Parallel Mode Instruction: In the parallel mode, CH1 and CH2 are linked internally into one channel controlled by CH1. The output current value is twice as much as the single channel. Output ratings 0~32V/ 0~6.4A Operation steps: 1. Press the button to start Parallel mode, and the indicator light turns bright immediately;...

Figure 3 4. As it shows in figure 4, click the “Upgrade” to start upgrading. The instrument will run the upgraded software as soon as the upgrading completed. Figure 4 Upgrade via the Guiding Procedure Upgrading via the guiding procedure can be used if the upgrading method above failed. Specific steps: 1.
Remote Control SCPI Commands can be used to conduct remote control on the SPD3303C Power Supply through the USBTMC. To realize the remote control, the installation of EasyPower or NI ( Measurement & Automation ) software for the computer is required prior to connecting the instrument with it using an USB cable.

Troubleshooting Question 1: What to do if there occurs a short circuit on output terminal? Answer1: There are over current protection and short circuit protection inside the power, so the current will be controlled in safety range. Question 2: Is it abnormal that the CH3 overload indicator turns bright ? Answer 2: No.
