Test Instrument Safety Section 1 - WARNING - Normal use of test equipment exposes you to a certain amount of danger from electrical shock because testing must sometimes be performed where exposed voltage is present. An electrical shock causing 10 milliamps of current to pass through the heart will stop most human heartbeats.
2.2 FEATURES INTRODUCTION The Model 1672 is a Triple Output Regulated DC Power Supply that provides one fixed output (5V/ 3A) and two variable outputs (0 – 32V/ 0 – 3A) ratings. The variable outputs can work independently, or in series tracking, or parallel mode.
Section 3 Installation INTRODUCTION UNPACKING INPUT POWER REQUIREMENTS SYSTEM CONFIGURATION INSTALLATION OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS INTRODUCTION This unit is tested prior to shipment. It is therefore ready for immediate use upon receipt. The initial physical inspections should be made to ensure that no damage has been sustained during shipment.

3.5.2 Load Connections Connect the appropriate load between +ve (Red) and –ve (black) terminal. For model 1672 the load connection is same as above while using indepen- dent output. In serial tracking mode of operation, connect the appropriate load between +ve (Red) terminal of master and –ve (black) terminal of slave.
(5) output terminals by the accessory leads. Vary the current adjustment knob clockwise until the 1672 current (Red) displays the required current limit. The C.C. LED will be lighted while adjusting the current limit. Remove the accessory lead after current limit adjustment.
(Max 240V). The output voltage will be the SUM of twice of set volt- age of the Master. Set all the 1672, which would be connected in serial operation under serial tracking mode as described in serial tracking mode and adjusts to the same output.

Section 6 Multiple units in parallel mode The power supply 1672 can be connected two or more units in parallel to obtain a higher current output (Max. 24A only). Set all the 1672 which will be connected in parallel operation under parallel tracking mode as described in parallel tracking mode and ad- just all units to the same output voltage.

Section 9 Maintenance INTRODUCTION PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SERVICE INFORMATION TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS INTRODUCTION This chapter gives information about preventive maintenance and ser- vice information of the unit. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Please follow the following preventive steps to ensure the proper op- eration of your instrument. Never place heavy objects on the instrument.
SERVICE INFORMATION WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT TURNING ON. Check if the power ON/OFF switch is turned ON. If not, then check the power cord. Please make sure that the power cord is properly connected to the unit. Please also check the main switch. And ensure that the AC supply at your site is the same as the one mentioned at the rear chassis of the unit.
