  • Page 33: Local Operation

    The following paragraphs provide setup and operating procedures for the P62, P63, P66, P83, P86, and D3 Series. The power supply may be configured via connector J1 on the rear panel for different operating configurations: local and remote current programming, local and remote voltage programming, normal parallel, auto-parallel, normal series, auto-series, and auto-tracking.
  • Page 34: Remote Voltage Programming

    coefficient for 5V remote current programming is 50 millivolts = 1% of rated output, i.e., for a 300 amp model, each 50 millivolts of programming voltage equals 3 amps of output current. The voltage coefficient for 10V remote current programming is 100 millivolts = 1% of rated output, i.e., for a 300 amp model, each 100 millivolts of programming voltage equals 3 amps of output current.
  • Page 35: Remote Output On/Off Control

    CAUTION If the power supply is operated with load power lines disconnected and sensing line connected, internal power supply damage may occur. (Output current then flows through sensing terminals.) Connect sensing leads from the load positive to J1-13 and the load negative to J1-12. A shielded, twisted-pair, hookup wire is recommended to avoid potential noise interference.
  • Page 36: Auto-Parallel Operation

    AUTO-PARALLEL OPERATION In the auto-parallel mode of operation, a master/slave configuration is established. Up to four power supplies may be paralleled using this configuration. CAUTION When using two supplies in parallel, damage may occur to slave(s) crowbar circuits if slave overvoltage level set is not higher than the master overvoltage level set.
  • Page 37 For equal voltage supplies with volt-per-volt tracking, Rx = 0 ohms. For other ratios or different voltage supplies, Rx can be calculated by using the following formulas: Rx(kohms) = (10/SMR) - 10 SMR(Slave/Master Ratio) = SR(Slave Ratio)/MR(Master Ratio) where SR = slave desired Vout/rated Vout MR = master desired Vout/rated Vout Example: It is desired to have a slave power supply...

    Chapter 4 CALIBRATION INTRODUCTION This chapter contains calibration procedures for the P62, P63, P66, P83, P86 and D3 Series. CALIBRATION AND ADJUSTMENTS To perform the following calibration and adjustment procedures, the cover must be removed from the power supply. Because removal of the cover allows access to potentially hazardous power voltages (up to 253 VAC or 450 VDC) and because of the importance of accurate readings to performance, only technically trained personnel should perform calibration procedures.
