following figure. 4.5.3.4 APG Setup The OWH series programmable DC power supply is equipped with a DB25 analog interface for APG (Analog interface programming). This analog interface has the following functions: Remote control the voltage/current value. Remote monitoring of CC and CV status, voltage and current values. Note: Before connecting the hardware device that controls the analog interface, make sure that the hardware device does not output a voltage higher than...
Page 28
The analog signal bandwidth is less than 10Hz, allowing arbitrary waveforms within this bandwidth. If the programmed signal frequency or amplitude exceeds the output capability, it will automatically limit the output amplitude. For input voltages exceeding 10V, the set value will be constrained within the maximum rated range.

The 10V reference voltage output of Analog instrument itself DB25-10V reference connected to a resistor voltage voltage divider for analog control. When in APG mode, voltage setting DB25- analog pin: used to set the voltage Analog input VOL_Pro set value between 0 and full scale voltage.
Page 30
When voltage and current set points are controlled through the analog interface, an external voltage (0V to 10V) is connected to program voltage or current values between 0 and full scale. At the same time, the analog monitoring function (0V ~ 10V) can be used to monitor the current voltage or current between 0 and full scale.
4.5.4 Protect Setup OWH67 series products can flexibly set OVP (Over-Voltage Protection), OCP (Over-Current Protection), OPP (Over Power Protection) functions according to user need. For example, OWH67012-80, OVP can be set to 1-85V, OCP can be set to 1A-35A, and OPP can be set to a minimum of 10W and a maximum of 1300W.

4.7 Remote Measurement Function When the OWH power supply is in working condition, when the power supply outputs a large current or the wire is long, it will produce a large voltage drop on the connection line between the measured instrument and the power terminal.
Page 38
Use remote measurements: The remote metering function allows compensating voltage drops across the power supply output terminal and the wire before the device under test. Do the following: 1. Remove any jumpers or short-circuit clips of Vo+Vsen+, Vo-,Vsen- on the rear panel terminals; 2.
Page 39
Note: 1. In order to ensure the stability of the system, please use the armored twisted-pair cable before the remote measurement and load of the OWH67 series power supply. Please pay attention to the positive and negative polarity of the wiring, which may bring output failure and even damage the instrument.
5. Troubleshooting 1. The instrument is powered on but no display. Please following the steps: Check if the power is connected properly. Check if the fuse which is below the AC Power socket is used appropriately and in good condition (the cover can be pried open with a straight screwdriver).
6. Technical Specification The instrument must be operated continuously for more than 30 minutes at the specified operating temperature to achieve the following specifications: Model OWH67012-80 OWH67020-150 OWH67030-150 0-150V 0-150V Voltage 0 -80V 1-155V 1-155V 1-85V Rated Output Current 0-30A 0-20A 0-30A (0℃-40℃)
