Do not use the power supply in an atmosphere which contains sulfuric acid mist or other substances which cause corrosion to metal. Do not use the power supply in a dusty place or a highly humid place as such will cause power supply reliability degradation and instrument failures.
Over Voltage Protection, Over Current Protection and Over Temperature Protection keep the PWS series and their load safe from unexpected conditions. For more complicated applications, the PWD series are available with many optional functions: remote sensing, remote ON/OFF control, timer switch, square waveform output, PV curve output, etc.
2. GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 2.1 CC and CV Mode The DC power supply is to supply voltage and current in constant voltage (CV) or constant current (CC) mode within the rated output range. The working characteristics of these series Power Supplies is called a constant voltage/constant current automatic cross-over type.
2.2 Application of Capacitive Load When the power supply is connected to a big capacitive load, it always causes increase to the output voltage in a power supply. The output voltage may make fast increase to the Over Voltage Protection point. It may also cause slow decrease when the output voltage is turned down.
2.4 Application of Battery Load When use the power supply to charge a battery, such as accumulator and ni-mh battery, the recommended protection measures is to connect a diode between the power supply and the battery. When the output electrolytic capacitor of the power supply is charged, connecting a load (battery) may cause sparks.
2.6 Application of Load with Reverse Polarity Current When the power supply is connected to a load that will cause reverse polarity current to the power supply output, the output voltage will increase, because the power supply cannot absorb the reverse polarity current from the load.
3. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION 3.1 Installation When the power supply is working, heat will be generated. The power supply should be placed in a well-ventilated environment, and avoid places with high heat dissipation, high humidity and dust. Please arrange appropriate installation space according to the size of the power supply. The front and back of the power supply should have good ventilation conditions, and avoid overlapping with other products.

5. OPERATION INSTRUCTION 5.1 Power On 1. Before power on: Make sure the input voltage is in compliance with rated input. And make sure of correct connection. DO NOT connect any load to the power supply in this preparation operation. 2.
4. After output is on, OUTPUT indicator appears. The CV or CC indicator appears according to load condition. 5. As shown in Fig.5-4, there is an underscore in the voltage value. It means that the voltage value is under setup mode.
5.4 Preset Voltage and Current The power supply has preset voltage and current function. Under output ON mode, use this function to preset voltage and current to achieve a step change on voltage and current. 1. Press V-set key and then press PRESET key to enter preset voltage mode (refer to Fig.5-8). An underscore beneath voltage value and the PRESET icon appear at the same time.
5.5 Set OVP and OCP Limits The over voltage protection (OVP) limit and over current protection (OCP) limit can be set to meet different test purposes. 1. Press OV-set or OI-set key to enter OVP or OCP limit setup mode (refer to Fig.5-9 AND Fig.5-10). 2.
5.6 Lock Front Panel The power supply provides front panel lock function to avoid wrong operation. Press LOCK key on front panel. “LOCK” indicator appears on display meter (refer to Fig.5-13), indicating that the front panel operation is locked. Output is going on. Press OUTPUT [4] button; the output can be turned off but cannot be turned on again.
5.9 Remote Sensing Operation (Optional) The remote sensing function is an optional function. If the power supply is made with remote sensing terminals, user can ready voltage on the load accurately. Refer to below figure to connect the load to remote sensing terminals.
6. REMOTE CONTROL The power supply is equipped with RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces, supporting Modbus protocols. There is PC software to facilitate remote control by PC. User can choose RS-232 or RS-485 interface for communication. 6.1 RS-232 / 485 Interface Definition (1U Frame) Pin out of the RS-232 interfaces are given as below.
6.3 Set Baud Rate and Address 1. Set baud rate 1) Press BAUD key to enter baud rate setup mode (refer to Fig.6-1) 2) Baud rate can be selected from below range by tuning the adjustment knob: 1200; 2400; 4800; 9600; 14400; 19200; 38400; 43000; 57600; 115200 Baud rate is default at 9600.
6.5 Command Format Control Command Format (commands from PC to power supply) bit: ID number of the DC power supply, 1-16 (when the ID number is 0, all ID numbers of the MCU board will response.) bit: control command bit: data length Data bit: 16-bit data, high bit in the front CRC check bit: MODBUS format, low bit in the front Feedback Data Format (commands from power supply to PC)

Remarks*1: Baud rate available: 1200; 2400; 4800; 9600; 14400; 19200; 38400; 43000; 57600; 115200. Due to the limitation of the single register data range (0~65535), the baud rate must be divided by 10 when setting, that is, remove the last 0 and then write it. Cautions: To ensure stable communication operation, default baud rate is set to 9600 in the factory.
7. MAINTENANCE The following instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any servicing other than contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so. 7.1 Inspection 1. Inspect the instrument at regular intervals so that it maintains its initial performance for a long time. 2.
7.3 Trouble Shooting Problem The power supply cannot startup. (No display) Solution 1. Ensure the power supply or power cord is working properly. 2. Check the fuse. If the fuse is blown, disconnect the unit from the power supply. And then replace with a new fuse of identical rating.
