4. PRECAUTION FOR USE Never detach the case or panel from this product. Detaching the case or panel may cause damages to this product or electrocution or other dangerous accidents to the use. 1) CHECKING INPUT VOLTAGE ① Keep the permitted range of input voltage. Single phase, 100/120/200/220/ 240 V AC, ±10%, 50/60 Hz.
Page 15
2) POWER CORD CONNECTION Some models have a connector retainer on the AC cord connector to hold the cord from slipping off. For safe operation, be sure the retainer is locked. PD18-30AD, PD36-20AD are cannot connect with a commercial AC power inlet because those current ratings are larger than same of the AC power source.

② The output lines are floating. Connect either of the front-panel output terminals to GND normally with short bar. 2) ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ① Keep the operating temperature range of 0℃ to 40℃. It the ambient temperature rises excessively, the device’s protection system works and cuts off power. ②...
5. CONTROLS AND INDICATORS 5-1. FRONT PANEL CURRENT VOLTAGE POWER V/I CHECK OVP CHECK OUTPUT 10 11 12 Fig. 3 1 POWER switch When turned on, the indicators POWER and either of CC and CV light. The power switch is automatically cut off when protection (overvoltage/ overcurrent/temperature) has operated.
Page 18
7 CC indicator Indicates during constant-current operation. 8 OUTPUT indicator Red LED indicates when the output is on. The preset voltage is available at the output terminals when this indicator is on. 9 OUTPUT switch Output switch (contactless) that turns on and off the output electrically. When the output is on, the OUTPUT indicator 8 lights and the voltage the voltmeter is reading is output at the output terminals and the ammeter reads the current.
5-2. REAR PANEL Fig. 4 16 Output terminal (+) output terminals and (±) sensor terminals. 17 Control terminals Terminals for remote control and series/parallel operation. 18 Fan Forced air cooled fan. Keep it apart from walls more than 30 cm. 19 Cap Cap of the fuse holder.
6. OPERATION 6-1. As a Constant-Voltage Power Supply 1) Check the rated input voltage, then connect the power cord. 2) Turn the voltage adjuster knob (VOLTAGE) fully counter-clockwise. 3) Turn on the power switch. The POWER (red) indicator light and the device is operated. Make sure the OUTPUT switch is off (the indicator is out).
6) Turn on output. Turn on the OUTPUT switch, and the output indicator lights and the power is output through the output terminals. Note : If it is not preferable to apply current suddenly like to a large inductance load, turn the current adjuster knob (CURRENT) fully counterclockwise and increase current gradually after turning on the output.
7. APPLICATION 7-1. Use of Rear-Panel Terminals Rear-panel output control - -S + +S Control terminals ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ⑥ ⑦ ⑧ ⑨ ⑩ ⑪ ⑫ Fig. 5 The output and control terminals shown above are equipped on the rear panel. These terminals may be used to perform remote sensing, remote control of output voltage and output current, master/slave control operation with power supply connected in series or paralled.
+ × (Note) +S Load - × Two core shield -S Fig. 6 Note : If the load is remote, oscillation might happen due to inductance and capacitance of the output line. In such a case, connect an electrolytic capacitor of some 100μF in parallel with the load as shown above.
controllers, each unit should be floated independently. 7-3-1. Control by resistance (Ⅰ) It is possible to output voltage which is proportional to resistance. 1) Turn off power. 2) Remove the short bar ①-②. 3) Connect variable resistor R (10k ohms) across 1 and 3 as shown Fig. 7. Note : R must be 10k ohms.

output of this product is turned on. Note 1 : The DIN connector pins are electrically connected to the positive output terminal. Thus, be sure to use them in the float condition. Note 2 : A 7-pin connector cable for connecting the GP-IB adapter <GP-600B> cannot be connected to the 5-pin connector shown above.
8. OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES 1) Rack mount adapter----------------------------- RK-601 2) GP-IB adapter ------------------------------------ GP-600B 9. MAINTENANCE Replacing Fuse The PD-A power supply unit will not run if the fuse blows out. Some models are supplied with spare fuses, in addition to the fuses built in the units. (Models of rated outputs below 10A) The PD-A power supply unit employs a special fuse filled with anti-arc agent (quartz sand).
10. TROUBLESHOOTING Check as noted below if there is anything wrong. If the trouble cannot be correct, call the dealer. Sympton Check Cause Power switch does * Power lamp not lit. * Power cord disconnected or not turn on. connected defectively. *...
