Page 13 Section 1. Features and Specifications Introduction Series of DC power supplies provides highly stable, variable output voltage and current for a broad range of development and system requirements. These units employ high frequency switching regulator technology to achieve high power density and small package size, as well as a linear post-regulator circuit for low output noise and fast response.

Page 21 Section 2. Installation Introduction This section provides recommendations and procedures for inspecting, installing, and testing the power supply. Basic Setup Procedure Table 2.1 Basic Setup Procedure Step# Description Action Reference “Initial Inspection” on page 19 Inspection Perform an initial physical inspection of the supply.
Page 22 Section 2. Installation Returning Power Supplies to the Manufacturer Returning Power Supplies to the Manufacturer Return Before returning a product directly to Xantrex you must obtain a Return Material Material Authorization (RMA) number and the correct factory “Ship To” address. Products Authorization must also be shipped prepaid.
Page 23 Section 2. Installation Returning Power Supplies to the Manufacturer Packaging for Follow these instructions to prepare the unit for shipping or storage. Shipping or 1. When returning the unit or sending it to the service center, attach a tag to the unit Storage stating its model number (available from the front panel label) and its serial number (available from the rear panel label).

Page 25 Section 2. Installation AC Input Power Connection AC Input Power Connection WARNING There is a potential shock hazard if the power supply chassis and cover are not connected to an electrical ground via the safety ground in the AC input connector. Ensure that the power supply is connected to a grounded AC outlet with the recommended AC input connector configured for the available line voltage as described in this section.
Page 26 Also check that the current bar graph meter follows the rise in current and that the current mode indicator light is ON. 7. Set the power switch to OFF. Operating Manual for HPD Series Power Supply www.valuetronics.com...
Page 27 Section 3. Load Connection and Sensing Introduction This section covers single and multiple load connection, constant voltage and constant current operating modes, and alternate power supply configurations such as series and parallel connections. Load Connection WARNING There is a potential shock hazard at the load when using a power supply with an output greater than 40 V.

Page 29 Section 3. Load Connection and Sensing Load Connection Load Wiring Length for Operation With Sense Lines For applications using remote sensing, you must limit the voltage drop across each load line. See Figure 3.1 for some maximum allowable lengths for a given load current and wire size. We recommend that you use the larger load wiring to ensure a smaller voltage drop (0.1 V typical maximum), although units can compensate for up to 0.5 V drop in each line...
Page 30 DC ground loops develop. Except for low current applications, we recommend that you do not use this method. Table 3.1, “Current Carrying Capacity for Load Wiring,” on page 26 for the correct wire gauge. Operating Manual for HPD Series Power Supply www.valuetronics.com...
Page 31 Section 3. Load Connection and Sensing Grounding Grounding Make proper ground connections to avoid developing paths between separate ground points. To avoid ground loops, there must be only one ground return point in a power system. If the load itself is not grounded, ground the positive or negative output to the supply’s chassis using a rear panel screw or the front panel ground binding post.
Page 32 If your application requires precisely regulated output voltage at the rear output terminals, install the jumpers by inserting the jumper wires into the jumper terminals as shown. See Figure 3.3. Wire Jumper Figure 3.3 Output Terminal Block With Jumpers Installed Operating Manual for HPD Series Power Supply www.valuetronics.com...
Page 33 Section 3. Load Connection and Sensing Remote Sensing Remote Sensing WARNING There is a potential shock hazard at the sense points when using a power supply with a rated output greater than 40 V. Ensure that connections at the load end are shielded to prevent contact with hazardous voltages.

Page 35 Section 4. Operation Introduction Once you have installed the power supply and have connected both the AC input power and the load as covered in Section 2, “Installation”, the power supply is ready to operate. • “Operating Modes”, below, offers a brief explanation of Constant Voltage and Constant Current Mode operation.
Page 36 2. Set the voltage control fully clockwise or to the compliance voltage of the Mode circuit. As soon as the supply starts operating in current mode, the red current mode LED will turn on. Operating Manual for HPD Series Power Supply www.valuetronics.com...
Page 37 Section 4. Operation Operating Modes Automatic The automatic crossover system allows the power supply to automatically switch Mode operating modes in response to changing load requirements. For example, if the load current attempts to increase above the setting of the current adjust control, the unit Crossover switches automatically from CV to CI mode.
Page 38 Diodes CR1 and CR2 protect sense circuits during transient events such as momentary current limit events which may cause supply outputs to collapse. Use general purpose 1A rectifiers, such as IN1004 or equivalent. Operating Manual for HPD Series Power Supply www.valuetronics.com...
Page 39 Section 4. Operation Using Multiple Supplies Connecting Multiple Supplies in CAUTION For parallel operation with OVP-equipped supplies, set all OVP trip points higher Parallel than the maximum output voltage. To prevent the internal OVP fuse from blowing during OVP trip events, add external blocking diodes as illustrated in Figure 4.3 Use diodes rated to handle the maximum current for the supply.
