SECTION 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION .......................................... 1-1
The Sorensen DLM Series of 600W power supplies comprise a family of general purpose
programmable supplies for rackmount and benchtop applications. The DLM 600W series
consists of nine models, rated 5V/75A, 8V/75A, 10V/60A, 20V/30A, 40V/15A, 60V/10A,
80V/7.5A, 150V/4A, and 300V/2A.
A variety of user interfaces are available, ranging from manual front–panel control and
standard non–isolated remote analog control, to optional GPIB or isolated remote analog
control.
1.2General Description
The DLM series power supplies incorporate the latest power conversion and control
technology to provide high accuracy, excellent regulation, low output noise, and fast
transient response. They utilize a switched–mode output power converter for high
efficiency and power density. The converter has been optimized to provide
performance approaching that of linear supplies. A high switching frequency combined
with Zero–Voltage Transition power switching and dual–stage output filtering account for
the excellent dynamic and noise characteristics. Precise regulation of output voltage or
current is possible with operation as either a voltage source in constant–voltage mode
(CV), or as current source in constant–current mode (CC). Crossover between modes
is automatic, dependent on load demand.
The front panel contains all controls and indicators required for setting and monitoring
the output parameters, as well as annunciation of operational status. Individual
adjustment controls are provided for output voltage, current, and over voltage protection
(OVP). Two 3.5 digit LED displays normally measure the output voltage and current. In
conjunction with the preview switches, these displays also show the programmed
values of voltage, current, or OVP. The preview functions allow adjustment of those
parameters without disturbing load connections. LED indicators show the mode of
operation (CV or CC), programming control source, or abnormal operating conditions.
Switches are also provided to directly control the output power, and to switch between
local and remote control.

DLM 600W Series
The outputs are isolated from the chassis GND. However, an internal I0M bleeder
resistor is connected from output return (-) to chassis ground. This allows operation
with floating outputs, or with either the negative or positive terminal of the output
referenced to chassis ground.
Master/slave paralleling is possible to allow multiple units to be operated in parallel for
greater output current or power. The master unit has full control of the other slave units
in setting the output voltage, current, and OVP. Multiple units can be connected in
series for increased output voltage, within the 300V float limitation of the output
terminals.
Remote programming is available with the standard non–isolated analog interface.
Output voltage, current, and OVP are fully controlled with user selectable programming
voltage levels or resistance programming.
Analog output signals are also provided to monitor the output voltage and current. In
addition, a complement of digital input/output signals allows control and monitoring of
the operational state of the supply. Optional interfaces such as GPIB, RS-232, isolated
remote analog, and LXITM Class C Ethernet Interface allow adaptation of the supplies to
a variety of applications.

required; single–phase, 2–wire plus ground
AC Input Frequency Range: 47–63 Hz
AC Input Current: 11A, maximum at 115 VAC; 6A, maximum at 230 VAC
AC Input Power Factor: 0.6, typical at full load; dependent on the impedance of the
AC input
AC Input Protection: internal fuses provided in each line of AC input for fault isolation
Operating Temperature Range: 0C to 50C
Storage Temperature Range: –40C to 65C
Humidity: 90%, maximum non–condensing
Altitude: 2,000m (6,562 ft)
Transient Response: The output voltage will recover within 500 s to the steady–state
voltage level (within 0.1% of full scale) for a 50–100% or 100–50% load step change.
Efficiency: 84%, typical; 82%, typical for DLM 8–75; 75%, typical for DLM 5–75
Float Voltage: 300V(PK), maximum float voltage of either output terminal to chassis
ground
Display Type: 7–segment LED, 3.5 digits for voltage, current, and OVP
Front Panel Adjustment Controls: Voltage and current controls are 10–turn precision
potentiometers. OVP control is 20–turn trimmer potentiometer.
Overvoltage Protection (OVP): If the load voltage, at the point of sensing, exceeds
the OVP programmed value, the output converter will be shut down, and the output
capacitors will be discharged with the downprogrammer. A secondary OVP monitor
senses the voltage at the rear panel output terminals to protect against open sense
leads. The unit can be restarted by cycling the AC POWER switch off and back on,
cycling the OUTPUT switch, or by momentarily activating the remote shutdown.

DLM 600W Series
Fault Shutdown: Supervisory circuits monitor for abnormal operation of internal
circuits: overtemperature, logic supply fault, paralleling interface connection fault,
cooling fan fault, output converter driver fault, output converter overcurrent fault. A fault
condition will result in shutdown of the output converter, and the output capacitors will
be discharged with the downprogrammer. The unit can be restarted by cycling the AC
POWER switch off and back on, cycling the OUTPUT switch, or by momentarily
activating the remote shutdown.
Parallel Operation: Up to four units of the same model can be connected in parallel. A
master/slave paralleling interface is used for forced current sharing between the units.
The master unit has programming control of the output voltage, current, or OVP. The
current display of each unit shows its contribution to the total load current. The voltage
display of the master unit shows the load voltage, while the voltage displays of the slave
units are blanked out. A fault condition occurring within a unit will result in shutdown of
all units. A paralleling interface cable is used to route control signals between the units.
Series Operation: Multiple units can be connected in series, limited by the 300V(PK),
maximum float voltage of the output terminals of each unit to chassis ground. The
output of each unit is set individually, and each unit displays its own output voltage and
current.
1.4.4Remote Analog Interface Characteristics Remote Voltage Programming: The output voltage, current and OVP can be
programmed from zero to full scale with an external voltage source with a user–
selectable range of either 0–5 VDC or 0–10 VDC. The analog programming circuitry is
not isolated from the output negative (return) terminal.
Remote Resistance Programming: The output voltage, current and OVP can be
programmed from zero to full scale with an external resistance of 0–5 k. The analog
programming circuitry is not isolated from the output negative (return) terminal.
Remote Resistance Programming Accuracy: Output Voltage = 1.5% of Vmax
Output Current = 2.5% of Imax
OVP = 2.0% of 1.1 Vmax
Remote Monitors: Monitors for the output voltage and current provide a proportional
analog signal with user selectable ranges of 0–5 VDC or 0–10 VDC, corresponding to
zero to full scale of the output parameter.
Monitor Accuracy: Voltage Monitor, 5V Range = 0.5% of Vmax
Voltage Monitor, 10V Range = 0.75% of Vmax
Current Monitor, 5/10V Ranges = 1.0% of Imax

1.4.7Regulatory Agency Compliance
Units will comply with the requirements of the European Low Voltage Directive
(IEC 61010-1:90+A1:92+A2:95) and EMC Directive (EN 61326:1998) as required for the
CE mark.
The DLM Series power supply has been fully calibrated and tested prior to shipment;
the unit is ready for immediate use upon receipt. However, when first unpacked, the
unit should be inspected to ensure that no shipping damage has occurred.
2.2Initial Inspection
Perform a visual inspection of the shipping container prior to accepting the package
from the carrier. If damage to the shipping container is evident, a description of that
damage should be noted on the carrier's receipt and signed by the carrier's driver.
Perform a visual inspection of the unit after it is removed from the shipping container.
Check for shipping damage such as dents, scratches, distortion of the enclosure, or
damaged controls. If external damage is evident, there may be internal damage as
well. Immediately contact the carrier and file a claim for concealed damage. In
addition, the shipping container and filler material should be saved for inspection.
Forward a report of the damage to the Service Department where a customer service
representative will provide instructions for repair or replacement of the unit.
2.3Location Considerations
The power supplies are designed for rackmount and benchtop applications. As
shipped, the supplies are configured for benchtop use. Conversion for rack mounting,
simply requires removal of the four feet from the bottom of the chassis and adding the
rackmount kit.
Since the units are fan–cooled, they require adequate clearance at the air intake and
exhaust so that air flow is not impeded. The air intake is at the front and front sides,
while the air exhaust is at the rear panel and rear sides. The temperature of the
ambient air at the air intake should not exceed 50°C.
