    3. Installation Before using the power-supply HERCULES, a power cord (5-wire) has to be plugged in the Acinput (TB1) of the backpanel of the power-supply. The power cord should at least support 3x15A or 3x25A load. The three phases, neutral and earth have to be connected. Caution: Operation without connected neutral causes a break down of the power supply unit.

    6. Remote sensing Unavoidable voltage drops across the output terminals and the load lines can be compensated by including sensing leads in conjunction with the load. However it is important to make sure not to exceed a voltage drop of 1V or 1% from rated Voltage 1) per load line. Circuit configuration 1.

  • Page 11: Overvoltage Protection

    If only one output parameter is to be programmed, it is possible to adjust the non-programmed parameter to the maximum value. In order to achieve this, the non-programmed input (TB4-15 or TB4-6) is connected with the 10V REF output (TB3-4). The 10V REF auxiliary voltage may be loaded to max 15mA and is shortcircuit proof.

    8.1 Treshold adjustment: 1. OV control (described as OV adjust on frontpanel) is to be turned clockwise with a screw- driver until it stops (highest Threshold) 2. Power-up device and adjust output voltage to the desired value of threshold. 3. Turn back the OV control until the LED indicator in the OV-RES button illuminates. 4.

Parallel operation If higher output currents are required it is possible to have the ARGOS power supplies operate in a parallel manner. 10.1 Simple output load terminals connection Note: In order to get an even load current distribution, both HERCULES power supplies have to be adjusted to the same output voltage prior to connecting the output load terminals.

    11. Tracking mode The tracking mode permits to structure a symmetric power supply. For this two HERCULES are necessary, the unit with negative output acts as master. Configuration: Master Slave -S -V -S -V Masse Fig. 8 The resistance R1 is calculated using the following formula: R1=(V /5-1) x 20 kOhm is the maximum output voltage in Volt of the master device.
  • Page 17: Monitor And Status Outputs

    12. Monitor and status outputs 12.1 Monitor outputs The output voltage and current can be read via two analog signals. Those signals are proportional with the output parameters and are rated to + 10V. They are marked ‘‘V-Monitor’’ (TB 4-7) and ‘‘I-Monitor’’ (TB 4-13) and measured against TB 4-14. Both monitor ouputs may be loaded with max.
