1500W and 750W power supply series. The instructions refer to the standard power supplies, including the built-in RS232/RS485 serial communication. For information related to opera- tion with the optional IEEE programming, refer to User’s Manual for Power Supply Programming In- terface. (TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. P/N 83-030-200) 1.2 INTRODUCTION 1.2.1 General Description Genesys power supplies are wide output range, high performance switching power supplies.
Remote sensing to compensate for voltage drop of power leads. External Analog Programming and Monitoring standard (0-5V or 0-10V, user selectable). Cooling fan speed control for low noise and extended fan life. Zero stacking-no ventilation holes at the top and bottom surface of the power supply. ...
1.2.9 Cooling and mechanical construction The Genesys series is cooled by internal fans. At the installation, care must be taken to allow free airflow into the power supply via the front panel and out of the power supply via the rear panel. The Genesys power supplies have a compact and lightweight package, which allows easy installation and space saving in the application equipment.
2.6 PROGRAMMING AND READBACK (RS232/485, Optional IEEE Interface) 1. Vout programming accuracy – 0.05% + 0.05% of rated output voltage. 2. Iout programming accuracy (*13) – 0.1% of actual output current + 0.1% of rated output current (for Iout >0.4% of rated Iout to 100% of rated Iout). 0.1% of actual output current +0.4% of rated output current (for Iout <0.4% of rated Iout to 0.4% of rated Iout).
4. EMI Data: Typical EMI (conducted and radiated) performance of the power supply. The supplemental characteristics data is held in each TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. sales and service facility. For further details please contact the TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. office nearest you.

3.4.2 Rack Mount Slides (optional): CAUTION Ensure that the screws used to attach the slides to the unit do not penetrate ore than 6mm into the sides of the unit. Use rack mount slides: General Devices P/N: CC3001-00-S160 or equivalent to install the unit in a standard 19”...
WARNING Some components inside the power supply are at AC voltage even when the On/Off switch is in the “Off” position. To avoid electric shock hazard, disconnect the line cord and load and wait two minutes before removing cover. 3.7.1 AC Input Connector, 1500W models The AC input connector is a 3-Terminal wire clamp located on the rear panel.
4. Route the AC wires to the input connector terminals as required. To connect the wires, loosen the terminal screw, insert the stripped wire into the terminal and tighten the screw securely (4.4-5.3 Lb-inch). 5. Route the wires inside the cover to prevent pinching. Fasten the cover to the unit using the M3x8 Flat Head screws provided.
2. Connect the unit to an AC source as described in Section 3.7. 3. Connect a DVM with appropriate cables for the rated voltage to the output terminals. 4. Turn the front panel AC power switch to On. 3.8.3 Constant Voltage Check 1.
3.8.7 Foldback Check WARNING Shorting the output may expose the user to hazardous voltages. Observe proper safety procedures. Refer to Section 5.5 for explanation of the FOLD function prior to performing the procedure below. 1. Ensure that the Output Voltage is set to approx. 10% of the unit rating. 2.
2. Wire size should be selected to enable voltage drop per lead to be less than 1.0V at the rated current. Although units will compensate for up to 5V in each load wire, it is recommended to minimize the voltage drop (1V typical maximum) to prevent excessive output power consump- tion from the power supply and poor dynamic response to load changes.
3.9.4 Noise and Impedance Effects To minimize the noise pickup or radiation, the load wires and remote sense wires should be twisted pairs to the shortest possible length. Shielding of sense leads may be necessary in high noise envi- ronments. Where shielding is used, connect the shield to the chassis via a rear panel Ground screw. Even if noise is not a concern, the load and remote sense wires should be twisted-pairs to reduce coupling, which might impact the stability of power supply.

5.14 SERIES OPERATION Power supplies of the SAME MODEL can be connected in series to obtain increased output voltage. Split connection of the power supplies gives positive and negative output voltage. CAUTION Do not connected power supplies from different manufacturers in series or in parallel. 5.14.1 Series connection for increased output voltage In this mode, two units are connected so that their outputs are summed.
3. Programming by external resistor: Programming by external resistor is possible. Refer to Section 6-5 for details. 4. Programming via the Serial The communication port is referenced to the IF_COM Communication port (RS232/RS485): which is isolated from the power supply output potential. Therefore power supplies connected in series can be daisy-chained using the Remote-In and Remote-Out con- nectors.
5.15 PARALLEL OPERATION Up to four units of the same VOLTAGE and CURRENT rating can be connected in parallel to provide up to four times the Output Current capability. One of the units operates as a Master and the remain- ing units are Slaves.
6. Connection to the load In parallel operation, power supplies can be connected in local or remote sensing. Refer to Fig. 5- 4 and 5-5 for typical connections of parallel power supplies. The figures show the connection of two units, however the same connection method applies for up to 4 units. 5.15.2 Advanced parallel operation In this method, multiple supplies can be configured to parallel operation as a single power supply.

CHAPTER 6 REMOTE ANALOG PROGRAMMING 6.1 INTRODUCTION The rear panel connector J1 allows the user to program the power supply Output Voltage and Current with an analog device. J1 also provides monitoring signals for Output Voltage and Output Current. The programming range and monitoring signals range can be selected between 0-5V or 0-10V using the setup switch SW1.
Page 54
6.4 REMOTE VOLTAGE PROGRAMMING OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND OUTPUT CURRENT CAUTION To maintain the power supply isolation and to prevent ground loops, use an isolated programming source when operating the power supply via remote analog programming at the J1 connector. Perform the following procedure to set the power supply to Remote Voltage programming: 1.
Page 55
6.5 RESISITIVE PROGRAMMING OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT LIMIT For resistive programming, internal current sources, for Output Voltage and/or Output Current control, supply 1mA current through external programming resistors connected between J1-9 & 22 and J1-10 & 23. The voltage across the programming resistors is used as a programming voltage for the power supply.
6.6 REMOTE MONITORING OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT The J1 connector, located on the rear panel provides analog signals for monitoring the Output Voltage and Output Current. Selection of the voltage range between 0-5V or 0-10V is made by setup switch SW1-4.
