PS 9000 1U Series 1.9.6 USB port The USB-B port on the back side of the device is provided for communication with the device and for firmware updates. The included USB cable can be used to connect the device to a PC (USB 2.0, USB 3.0). The driver is delivered on the included USB stick or is available as download and installs a virtual COM port.
Preparation Mains connection for a PS 9000 1U series device is done via the included 2 meters long 3 pole mains cord. In case a different AC wiring is required, make sure that the other cable has a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm² (AWG 12).
PS 9000 1U Series 2.3.3 Installing the device • Select the location for the device so that the connection to the load is as short as possible! • Leave sufficient space behind the equipment, minimum 30 cm (12”), for ventilation! • The device isn’t stackable!
PS 9000 1U Series 2.3.5 Connection to DC loads In the case of a device with a high nominal current and hence a thick and heavy DC connection cable it is necessary to take account of the weight of the cable and the strain imposed on the DC connection.
PS 9000 1U Series 2.3.6 Grounding of the DC output Grounding one of the DC output poles is allowed. Doing so can result in a potential shift of the grounded pole against PE. Because of insulation, there is a max. allowed potential shift of the DC output poles, which also depends on the device model.
PS 9000 1U Series 2.3.8 Connecting the “Share” bus The “Share” connector on the back side is intended to balance the current of multiple units in parallel operation, especially when using the integrated function generator of the master unit. For further information about this mode of operation can be found in section „3.9.1.
PS 9000 1U Series 2.3.12 Initial network setup The device is delivered with default network parameters (see „3.4.3.6. Menu “Communication”“). The Ethernet/ LAN port is immediately ready for use after the initial commission. Default parameters: IP: 192.168.0.2 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.0.1...
PS 9000 1U Series Operation and application Important notes 3.1.1 Personal safety • In order to guarantee safety when using the device, it is essential that only persons operate the device who are fully acquainted and trained in the required safety measures to be taken when working with dangerous electrical voltages • For models which can generate a voltage which is dangerous by contact, or is connected to...
3.2.3.1 Power derating The power supplies of series PS 9000 1U offer an extended AC supply voltage range, but are dedicated for the use at typical 230 V , ±10%. Below a certain supply voltage, all models will automatically start to derate, i.e. re- duce the maximum available output power.
PS 9000 1U Series Alarm conditions This section only gives an overview about device alarms. What to do in case your device indi- cates an alarm condition is described in section „3.6. Alarms and monitoring“. As a basic principle, all alarm conditions are signaled optically (Text + message in the display), acoustically (if activated) and as a readable status via the digital interface.
PS 9000 1U Series Manual operation 3.4.1 Switching on the device The device should, as far as possible, always be switched on using the rotary switch on the front of the device. Alternatively this can take place using an external cutout (contactor, circuit breaker) of suitable current capacity.

PS 9000 1U Series 3.4.4 Adjustment limits By default, all set values (U, I, P) are freely adjustable from 0 to 102% of the rated value. This may be obstructive in some cases, especially for protection of applications against overcurrent. Therefore upper and lower limits for current and voltage can be set which limit the range of the adjustable set values.
Display modes for actual and set values In general, the display of a PS 9000 1U device shows the actual output voltage and the related set value in the left half of the display and the actual output current and related set value in the right half. In order to have the power set value in direct access, the display mode can be switched.
PS 9000 1U Series 3.4.7 The quick menu The quick menu is an alternative menu for quick access to offline features while the DC output is online. It is accessible with the button and looks like this: Navigation in the menu is also done with arrow buttons You can select the between view mode and the HMI lock, each with three button pushes.
PS 9000 1U Series Remote control 3.5.1 General Remote control is principally possible via any of the built-in interface ports USB, Ethernet/LAN or analog. Important here is that only the analog or any digital interface can be in control. It means that if, for example, an attempt were to be made to switch to remote control via the digital interface whilst analog remote control is active (pin REMOTE = LOW) the device would report an error at the digital interface.
PS 9000 1U Series 3.5.4 Remote control via the analog interface (AI) 3.5.4.1 General The built-in, galvanically isolated, 15-pole analog interface (short: AI) is located on the rear side of the device and offers the following functions: • Remote control of current, voltage and power • Remote status monitoring (CV, DC output status)

PS 9000 1U Series Loading and saving an user profile The menu “Profiles” serves to select between a default profile and up to 5 user profiles. A profile is a collection of all settings and set values. Upon delivery, or after a reset, all 6 profiles have the same settings and all set values are 0.
PS 9000 1U Series Other applications 3.9.1 Parallel operation in Share Bus mode Multiple devices of same kind and model can be connected in parallel in order to create a system with higher total current and hence higher power. To achieve that, the units have to be connected with their DC outputs and their Share Bus.
PS 9000 1U Series 3.9.1.5 Alarms and other problem situations Parallel operation, due to the connection of multiple units and their interaction, can cause additional problem sit- uations which do not occur when operating individual units. For such occurrences the following regulations have been defined: • If one or more slave units are switched off on the AC side (power switch, supply undervoltage) and come back...
This mode of operation refers to the use of a source, in this case a power supply of series PS 9000 1U, and a sink, in this case an electronic load of a compat- ible series (see „1.9.5. Share Bus-Connection“). The source and the sink work alternatively in order to test a device such as a battery, by deliberately charging and discharging it as part of a functional or final test.

PS 9000 1U Series 3.9.4.3 Settings on the devices The master-slave settings in the MENU of the load device(s) also affect the Share bus. For correct 2QO operation, all involved load units must be slaves on the Share bus. This is achieved by setting the master-slave mode to OFF or SLAVE, depending on if there is digital master-slave in use or not.
