3.4 RACK MOUNTING To install a GENH750W one unit or two units side-by-side in a standard 19” Rack in 1U (1.75”) height, use option kit P/N: GENH/RM The Rack Mount kit allows the units to be zero stacked for maximum system flexibility and power density without increasing the 1U height of the units.
3.4.3 GENH/RM Rack Mounting outline drawings: 3.5 LOCATION, MOUNTING AND COOLING This power supply is fan cooled. The air intake is at the front panel and the exhaust is at the rear panel. Upon installation allow cooling air to each the front panel ventilation inlets. Allow minimum 10cm (4-inch) of unrestricted air space at the front and the rear of the unit.
WARNING Some components inside the power supply area 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 An IEC connector is provided on the rear panel for connecting the unit to the AC power source with an AC cord.
4. Turn the front panel AC power switch to On. 3.8.3 Constant Voltage Check 1. Turn on the output by pressing the OUT pushbutton so the OUT LED illuminates. 2. Observe the power supply VOLT display and rotate the Voltage encoder. Ensure that the Output Voltage varies while the VOLT encoder is rotated.
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.
mended to minimize the voltage drop (1V typical maximum) to prevent excessive output power consumption from the power supply and poor dynamic response to load changes. Please refer to Tables 3-2 and 3-3 for minimum wire length (to limit voltage drop) in American and European dimensions respectively.
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 environments. Where shielding is used, connect the shield to the chassis via a rear panel Ground screw.

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 Out- put Current. The programming range and monitoring signals range can be selected between 0- 5V or 0-10V using the setup switch SW1.
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 following procedure to set the power supply to Remote Voltage programming: 1.
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.
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. The monitoring signals represent 0 to 100% of the power supply Output Voltage and Output Current.
