FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
1.1 PURPOSE
This manual contains operation and maintenance instructions for
the 6000 Series of high performance laboratory power supplies.
The series consists of six
basic
models which can be combined
into
dual,
triple,
and
quadruple
configurations
in
any
combination of models.
The basic models are designated by a 6
prefix, followed by the voltage rating, followed by an S for a
single supply, D for a dual supply, T for a triple supply, or Q
for a
quadruple supply.
For example, the 6007S model
number
signifies that this is a single supply rated at 0 to 7 Vdc
output.
Similarly, a 6015D is a dual supply rated at 0 to 15 Vdc
per individual unit.
Five major sections form the manual divisions:
Section 1 - Description of series features and specifications.
Section 2 - Installation and operating instructions.
Section 3 - Theory of operation.
Section 4 - Maintenance and service procedures.
Section 5 - Drawings, schematics, and parts lists.
1.2 DESCRIPTION
The 6000 Series of
laboratory
power
supplies are
designed
to
provide high stability, continuously variable output voltage and
current for a broad range of development and system requirements.
The 6000 Series employs precision linear regulator technology to
achieve precise regulation and low output noise levels.
1.3 OPERATING MODES
The 6000 Series has two basic operating modes: Constant Voltage
and
Constant
Current.
In
the
former,
the
output
voltage
is
regulated
at
the
front
panel
selected
value, and
the
output
current varies with the load.
In constant current operation, the
output current is regulated at the selected value and the output
voltage varies as a function of the output load.
1.3.1 Automatic Crossover
The
automatic
crossover
system
enables
the
unit
to
transfer
operating
modes
as
a
function
of
load
requirements. If,
for
example, the load current attempts to increase above the setting
of the current adjust control, the unit will switch automatically
