Scientific Brief Introduction PSD7303A/7303B Programmable DC Power Supply is convenient, flexible and multi-function. It has three independent outputs, two sets of adjustable voltage value and a fixed set of selectable voltage value of 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V, and it also provides output short circuit and overload protection at the same time.
Chapter 1 Start Guide In this chapter, we mainly introduce the panel and display Interface of PSD7303A/7303B, as well as the new machine inspection and attentions at first use. Reading this chapter will give you a quick understanding on operation.
The consigner or carrier will be responsible for damages to the instrument resulting from shipment. Scientific would not provide free maintenance or replacement. 2. Inspect the instrument.
PSD7303A/7303B Input Power Requirement The PSD7303A/7303B 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.

Scientific Output Check The output check includes voltage check in condition of all channels with no load and current check in condition of short circuit so as to make sure that the instrument correctly responds to operation of the front panel.
Scientific Chapter 2 Control panel operation In this chapter the function and operation of PSD7303A/7303B control panel will be introduced in detail to give you an all-around understanding of it, which will eventually lead to easier work. Brief introduction: Output summary...
Scientific 2.1 Output summary PSD7303A/7303B have three independent outputs, two of which are adjustable in voltage value and the other one includes selectable 2.5V, 3.3V or 5.0V Independent/Parallel/Series PSD7303A/7303B have three output modes: independent, parallel and series, which can be selected through the track switch on the front panel.
Scientific 2.2 CH1/CH2 Independent Output Instruction CH1 and CH2 are working in the independent mode, at the same time,they are insulated from the ground. Output rating 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.
Scientific 2.3 CH3 Independent mode Instruction CH3 is independent from CH1 and CH2, and it works neither in parallel mode nor in series mode. Its voltage and current ratings are respectively 2.5V, 3.3V, 5V and 3.2A. Output ratings 2.5V/3.3V/5V, 3.2A Operation steps: 1.
Scientific 2.4 CH1/CH2 Series mode Instruction In the series mode, CH1 and CH2 are linked internally into one channel which is controlled by CH1, and the output voltage value is twice compared with that of single channel. Output rating 0~64V/0~3.2A Operation steps:...
Scientific 2.5 CH1/CH2 Parallel mode Instruction In the parallel mode, CH1 and CH2 are linked internally into one channel which is controlled by CH1. Its output current value is twice as much as the single channel. Output rating 0~32V/0~6.4A Operation steps: 1.
Scientific 2.6 LAN setting Operation steps: 1. Connect the oscilloscope to your local area network using the network cable. 2. Press the “IP/Store” button to enter LAN setting interface. 3. Press the direction button to go to the DHCP line, then revolve...
Scientific 2.7 Save and Recall Five group setups can be saved in memory. The contents of the setup file including: Independent/series/parallel mode Output voltage/current value Timer setup Save setup Operation steps: 1. Set the state that you wanted; 2. Short press “IP/Store” button and then long press “IP/Store” button to enter Store/Recall interface;...
Scientific 2.8 Timer The timer works in the Independent mode, and can save five timing setups, each of which is independent from each other. You can set any voltage/current value within the range as you want. The timer supports consecutive output, and the longest time of each group is 10000s.

Scientific If press the “on/off” button to turn off the output when the timer is running, then the countdown will stop. And the countdown will continue when the channel output is turn on again. The Timer will automatically turn off when the time reduces to 0.
Scientific 2.9 Waveform display PSD7303A/7303B can display the changing of current voltage and current in real time in the form of curve drawing. Operation steps: 1. Select CH1/CH2, and then set voltage/current parameter; 2. Press “Wavedisp” button to enter Waveform Display interface, and the indicator light turns bright immediately.
Scientific 2.10 Version information Short press button to enter Version Information interface, which is shown below: Long press button in any interface to open keylock function, which will make all the keys invalid, and the graphic logo of “lock” will display at the same time.
