5. LOCAL OPERATION 5.1. INTRODUCTION This Chapter describes the operating modes that are not involved in programming and monitoring the power supply via its serial communication port (RS232/RS485) or by remote analog signals. Ensure that the RMT/LCL on the front panel is off, indicating Local mode. If the RMT/LCL LED is on, press the front panel RMT/LCL button to change the operating mode to local.
5.2.2 Constant Current Operation 1. In constant current mode, the power supply regulates the output current at the selected value, while the voltage varies with the load requirement. 2. While the power supply is operating in constant current mode, the CCLED on the front panel illuminates.
5.3.1 Setting the OVP level The OVP can be set when the power supply output is Enabled (On) or Disabled (Off). To set the OVP level, press the OVP/UVL button, so that the CURRENT meter shows "OUP". The VOLTAGE meter shows the OVP setting level. Rotate the VOLTAGE encoder knob to adjust the OVP level.
5.5. FOLDBACK PROTECTION Foldback protection will shut down the power supply output if the load current exceeds the current limit setting level. This protection is useful when the load circuitry is sensitive to an over current condition. 5.5.1 Setting the Foldback protection To arm the Foldback protection, the FOLD button should be pressed so that the FOLD LED illuminates.
Table 5-2: SO logic selection SO signal level Power supply SW1-5 setting Display J1-2(3), 15 output Down (default) 2-15V or Open Voltage/Current 0-0.6V or Short “SO” 2-15V or Open “SO” 0-0.6V or Short Voltage/Current NOTE This function cannot be used with Output OFF. Please turn ON an output using the function of output interception (SO).
5.9. CV/CC SIGNAL CV/CC signal indicates the operating mode of the power supply, Constant Voltage or Constant Current. CV/CC signal is an open collector output with a 30V parallel zener, at J1-13, referenced to the COM potential at J1-12 (connected internally to the negative sense potential). When the power supply operates in Constant Voltage mode, CV/CC output is open.
5.12. OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION (OTP) The OTP circuit shuts down the power supply before the internal components can exceed their safe internal operating temperature. When an OTP shutdown occurs, the display shows "OTP" and the ALARM LED blinks. Resetting the OTP circuit can be automatic (non-latched) or manual (latched) depending on the Safe or Automatic restart mode.
5.14.1 Series connection for increased output voltage In this mode, two units are connected so that their outputs are summed. Set the current limit of each power supply to the maximum that the load can handle without damage. It is recommended that diodes be connected in parallel with each unit output to prevent reverse voltage during start up sequence or in case one of the units shuts down.
5.14.2 Series connection for positive and negative output voltage In this mode, two units are configured as a positive and negative output. Set the current limit of each power supply to the maximum that the load can handle without damage. It is recommended that diodes be connected in parallel with each unit output to prevent reverse voltage during start-up or in case one of the units shuts down.
5.15. PARALLEL OPERATION Up to four units of the same VOLTAGE and CURRENT rating can be connected in parallel to provide up to four times the output current capability. One of the units operates as a master and the remaining units are slaves. The slave units are analog programmed by the master unit. In remote digital operation, only the master unit can be programmed by the computer while the slave units may be connected to the computer for voltage, current and status readback only.
Fig.5-4: Parallel connection with local sensing NOTE With local sensing it is important to minimize the wire length and resistance. Also the positive and negative wire resistance should be close as possible to each other to achieve current balance between power supplies. Fig.5-5: Parallel operation with Remote sensing 5.16.
5.17. FRONT PANEL LOCKING The front panel controls can be locked to protect from accidental power supply parameter change. Press and hold V/I CHK button to toggle between “Locked front panel” and “Unlocked front panel”. The display will cycle between “LFP” and “UFP”. Releasing the V/I CHK button while one of the modes is displayed, selects that mode.
6. REMOTE ANALOG PROGRAMMING 6.1. INTRODUCTION The rear panel connector J1 allows the user to program the power supply output voltage and current limit with an analog device. J1 also provides monitoring signals for output voltage and output current. The programming range and monitoring signals range can be selected between 0-5V or 0-10V using the setup switch SW1.
6.4. REMOTE VOLTAGE PROGRAMMING OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT LIMIT CAUTION To maintain the isolation of power supply and prevent ground loops, use an isolated programming source when operating the power supply via remote analog programming at J1 connector. Perform the following procedure to set the power supply to Remote Voltage programming : 1.
6.5. RESISTIVE PROGRAMMING OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT LIMIT For resistive programming, internal current sources, for output voltage and/or output current control, supply 1mAcurrent through external programming resistors connected between J1-9 & 22 and 1-10 & 23. The voltage across the programming resistors is used as a programming voltage for the power supply.
6.6. REMOTE MONITORING OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT 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.
