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 21 Inspection Perform an initial physical inspection of the supply.
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 Authorization (RMA) number and the correct factory “Ship To” address. Products Material must also be shipped prepaid. Product shipments will be refused and returned at your...
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).
Installation Rack Mounting Rack Mounting Use the power supply in benchtop or in rack-mounted applications. WARNING Ensure that any mounting screws do not protrude more than 1/8 in. (3.0 mm) into the bottom of the unit. The power is supply is designed to fill 1/4 of a standard 19 in (483 mm) equipment rack.

Installation Functional Tests Voltage Mode 1. Ensure that the front panel voltage and current control are turned fully Operation counter-clockwise. Check 2. Set the power switch to ON. 3. Rotate the current control one half-turn clockwise. Slowly rotate the voltage control clockwise and observe the digital meter.
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.
Load Connection and Sensing Load Connection Load Wiring To select wiring for connecting the load to the power supply, consider the following factors: • insulation rating of the wire • current carrying capacity of the wire • maximum load wiring length for operation with sense lines •...
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...
Load Connection and Sensing Grounding Rear Panel Terminals To make load connections, attach the wire using the steps below: 1. Strip load wires 0.25 in.(6 mm) 2. Using a flat-bladed 1/8 in. (3 mm) screwdriver, loosen the positive (+) and negative (−) output terminal screws on the output terminal block.
Load Connection and Sensing Local Sensing Local Sensing Sensing of the output voltage is available from both the rear panel and the front panel output connectors. Default local sensing regulates the voltage at the power supply output terminal. Use remote sensing (see “Remote Sensing”...
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.
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.
Operation Operating Modes Note The control circuits have been designed to allow you to set output voltage and current up to 5% over the model-rated maximum values. The power supply will operate within these extended ranges, but we cannot guarantee full performance to specification.
Operation Using Multiple Supplies Automatic The automatic crossover system allows the power supply to automatically switch operating modes in response to changing load requirements. For example, if the load Mode current attempts to increase above the setting of the current adjust control, the unit Crossover will switch automatically from CV to CI mode.
Operation Using Multiple Supplies Note You do not need to use remote sensing for series operation. If you choose to use it, “Remote Sensing” on page 32 refer to Diodes CR1 and CR2 protect sense circuits during transient events such as momentary current limit events which may cause supply outputs to collapse.
Operation Using Multiple Supplies Split Supply Split supply operation uses two power supplies to obtain two positive voltages with a common ground, or to obtain a positive-negative supply. Operation Two Positive Voltages To obtain two positive voltages, connect the negative output terminals of both supplies together in a common connection.
