SPS Power Supply User Manual Installation Location Please ensure there is adequate ventilation and Ventilation and cooling fan that the cooling fan has enough clearance to allow clearance adequate airflow. Power Up Press the Power switch to Power On turn on the power. The P O W current and voltage display will light up.
SETUP Over Voltage Protection Set Up Over Voltage Protection (OVP) protects SPS and OVP setup Background DUT from excessive output Voltage. The user sets the maximum output voltage limit before operation. When the output voltage exceeds this limit, the output is shut off immediately. 1.
SPS Power Supply User Manual Over voltage protection is always on and cannot be Note disabled. The OVP voltage however, can be set to the rating voltage +5.5%. Load Cable Connection Insert the plug into the Standard accessory socket. 1. Turn the terminal Test lead counterclockwise and loose the screw.
SPS Power Supply User Manual Setting the Current Level The current level must be set each time a new current level is needed. 1. Determine the maximum safe current for the Panel operation EUT. 2. Short the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.
SETUP Setting the Remote Control The SPS output can be controlled remotely using Background the remote control pins on the rear panel. Remote control pins open. Output Off Remote control pins shorted. Output On...
