IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before applying power to the system, verify that your product is configured properly for your particular application.

WARNING

Hazardous voltages may be present when covers are removed. Qualified personnel must use extreme caution when servicing this equipment. Circuit boards, test points, and output voltages also may be floating above (below) chassis ground.

The equipment used contains ESD sensitive parts. When installing

WARNING

Only qualified personnel who deal with attendant hazards in power supplies, are allowed to perform installation and servicing.

Ensure that the AC power line ground is connected properly to the Power Rack input connector or chassis. Similarly, other power ground lines including those to application and maintenance equipment must be grounded properly for both personnel and equipment safety.

Always ensure that facility AC input power is de-energized prior to connecting or disconnecting any cable. In normal operation, the operator does not have access to hazardous voltages within the chassis. However,

depending on the user’s application configuration, HIGH VOLTAGES HAZARDOUS TO HUMAN SAFETY may be normally generated on the output terminals. The customer/user must ensure that the output power lines are labeled properly as to the safety hazards and that any inadvertent contact with hazardous voltages is eliminated.

Guard against risks of electrical shock during open cover checks by not touching any portion of the electrical circuits. Even when power is off, capacitors may retain an electrical charge. Use safety glasses during open cover checks to avoid personal injury by any sudden component failure.

Neither AMETEK Programmable Power Inc., San Diego, California, USA, nor any of the subsidiary sales organizations can accept any responsibility for personnel, material or inconsequential injury, loss or damage that results from improper use of the equipment and accessories.

SECTION 1

FEATURES AND

SPECIFICATIONS

1.1 Description

The DLM–E Series 3000 and 4000 watt power supplies are designed to provide highly stable, continuously variable output voltage and current for a broad range of development, system and burn–in applications. Model numbers for this series are designated by the DLM prefix, followed by the output voltage and current ratings. For example, the model number DLM40–100E indicates that the unit is rated at 0–40 VDC and 0–100 amps while a model DLM8–350E is rated at 0–8 VDC and 0–350 amps. The DLM–E Series employs high frequency switching regulator technology to achieve high power density and small package size.

1.2 Operating Modes

The DLM–E Series supply has two basic operating modes: Constant Voltage and Constant Current. In constant voltage mode, the output voltage is regulated at the selected value while the output current varies with the load requirements. In constant current mode, the output current is regulated at the selected value while output the voltage varies with the load requirements.

An automatic crossover system enables the unit to switch operating modes in response to varying load requirements. If, for example, the unit is operating in voltage mode and the load current attempts to increase above the setting of the current control, the unit will switch automatically from voltage mode to current mode. If the load current is subsequently reduced below the setting of the current control the unit will return to voltage mode automatically.

1.3 Power Supply Features

• 3 kW and 4 kW models with voltage ranges from 0–5 VDC to 0–600 VDC and

current ranges from 0–5A to 0–450A.

• 3 kW models operate with either single or three–phase AC input power without

jumpers.

• High input AC power factor, 0.95 typical, with three–phase 208, 400, or 480 VAC

inputs.

SECTION 2

INSTALLATION

2.1 Introduction

This section provides recommendations and procedures for inspecting, testing, and installing the DLM–E Series power supply.

1. Read and follow safety recommendations (Section 2.2)

2. Perform an initial physical inspection of the supply (Section 2.3)

3. Become familiar with Controls, Indicators and Rear Panel layout (Section 2.4)

4. Install the supply, ensuring adequate ventilation (Section 2.5)

5. Connect the AC input power (Section 2.6)

6. Perform initial function tests for voltage mode operation, current mode operation, and front panel controls (Section 2.7)

7. Connect the load (Section 2.8)

Instructions for Local Programming Mode operation (Constant Voltage and Constant Current) are given in Section 3 Basic Operation. Remote Programming operation, monitoring, and programmable functions are described in Section 4 Advanced Operation.

2.2 Safety

Please review the following points for both personal and equipment safety while using the DLM–E Series power supplies.

2.2.1 High Energy/High Voltage Warning

Exercise caution when using and servicing power supplies. High energy levels can be stored at the output voltage terminals on all power supplies in normal operation. In addition, potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and the output connector of power supplies that are

M362000-01 Rev E 2-1

Installation DLM-E 3kW & 4kW Series Power Supplies

rated at 40V and over. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time after power is removed.

Use extreme caution when biasing the output relative to the chassis due to potentially high voltage levels at the output terminals. The output of the DLM–E Series supplies may be biased up to a maximum voltage relative to the chassis as specified in Section 1 under Additional Specifications.

2.2.2 AC Source Grounding

Ensure the power supply is connected to an appropriately rated AC outlet with the recommended AC input wiring as set out in Section 2.6 AC Input Power Connection. There is a potential shock hazard if the power supply chassis and cover are not connected to a power return via the safety ground on the chassis. The third wire in a single phase AC input connector and the fourth wire in a three phase AC input connector must be connected to an electrical ground at the power outlet. Any disconnection of this ground will cause a potential shock hazard to operating personnel.

This power supply is equipped with an AC line filter to reduce electromagnetic interference and must be connected to a properly grounded receptacle, or a shock hazard will exist.

2.2.3 EMI Provisions

A clamp–on EMI suppression filter core is included with each unit to allow compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive requirement of the European Community. This filter is to be installed so that all of the AC input wires and input fuse block and chassis are clamped inside the filter before operating. See Figure 2–1.

Figure 2–1. EMI Suppression Filter

ground wire that connect to the unit at the AC

2.2.4 Operating and Servicing Precautions

Exceeding a model's maximum rated input voltage may cause permanent damage to the unit. The power supply must not be operated where flammable gases or fumes exist.

2-2 M362000-01 Rev E

DLM-E 3kW & 4kW Series Power Supplies Installation

Always disconnect power, remove external voltage sources, and allow time for internal circuits to discharge before making internal adjustments or replacing components. When performing internal adjustments or servicing the unit, ensure another person with first aid and resuscitation certification is present. Repairs must be made by experienced technical personnel only.

Be sure to isolate the power supply from the input line with an isolation transformer when using grounded test equipment, such as an oscilloscope, in the power circuit as these are referenced to the AC input line.

WARNING! Removal of the front panel filter and cover allows access to moving parts and potentially hazardous voltages. Ensure that the power is turned off prior to removal of the filter for maintenance or cleaning.

2.2.5 Parts and Modifications

Do not use substitute parts or make any unauthorized modifications to the power supply to ensure that its safety features are not degraded. Contact customer service engineers for service and repair help.

2.3 Initial Inspection

Upon first receiving your DLM–E Series power supply, perform a quick physical check, paying particular attention to front panel controls and indicators as well as rear panel connectors and terminals. The front and rear panel diagrams are located in Section 2.4.

2.3.1 Physical Check

After unpacking, perform an initial inspection to ensure the unit and parts shipped with it have not been damaged in transit. The package should contain the power supply, a manual, a remote sense connector, a 25–pin sub–D mating connector for J3, and an EMI filter core.

1. Inspect for dents to the cover and chassis; for scratches and cracks on the front and rear panels; and for any broken controls, connectors, or displays.

2. Turn front panel controls from stop to stop. Rotation should be smooth.

3. Test the action of the POWER switch. Switching action should be positive.

4. If internal damage is suspected, remove the cover and check for printed circuit board and/or component damage. Reinstall cover.

If damage has occurred, save all packing materials and notify the carrier immediately. Refer to the terms of the warranty. Direct any repair problems to the manufacturer.

Note: Section 2.7 Initial Functional Tests contains electrical and operational tests you can

perform to ensure the unit is in proper working order after shipment. Run these tests after applying AC input power but before connecting the load to the power supply.

Installation DLM-E 3kW & 4kW Series Power Supplies

2.7 Initial Functional Tests

Before connecting the unit to an AC outlet, make sure that the POWER switch is in the Off position, (down) and that the voltage and current control knobs are turned fully counter– clockwise. The two smaller switches directly to the right of the POWER switch should be depressed up to put the unit in the ENABLE and LOCAL position. Check that the J3 mating connector on the rear of the unit has no jumpers installed on it and that the rear panel DIP switch, S1, settings are all in the UP (1) position. (This is the default configuration as shipped from the factory). Connect the unit to the proper AC power source and turn the POWER switch on. After a 1–2 second power–on delay, the front panel meters should light up with both displays reading zero. The S/D (shutdown) indicator will blink momentarily and then the ON and VOLT MODE indicators should be illuminated.

To check voltage mode operation, proceed as follows:

• Connect a DVM, rated better than 0.5% accuracy, to the rear output terminals, observing correct polarity.

• Rotate the CURRENT control ½ turn clockwise. Slowly rotate the VOLTAGE control clockwise and observe both the internal and external meters. The control range should be from zero to the maximum rated output. Compare the test meter reading with the front panel voltmeter reading. Check that the green VOLTAGE MODE indicator is ON.

• Set the POWER switch to OFF. Note that the internal fans will continue to run for about 10 seconds.

To check current mode operation, proceed as follows:

• Rotate the VOLTAGE and CURRENT controls fully counterclockwise.

• Rotate the VOLTAGE control ½ turn clockwise.

• Connect a high current DC ammeter or current shunt across the rear output terminals,

observing correct polarity. Select cables of sufficient current carrying capacity and an ammeter range compatible with the unit's rated current output. The ammeter/shunt should have an accuracy of better than 0.5%.

• Set the POWER switch to ON.

• Rotate the CURRENT control slowly clockwise. The control range should be from zero to

the maximum rated output. Compare the test meter reading with the reading on the front panel ammeter. Check that the green CURRENT MODE indicator is ON.

• Set the POWER switch to OFF. Note that the internal fans will continue to run for about 10 seconds.

2.8 Load Connection

Reliable performance of the DLM–E power supply can be obtained if certain basic precautions are taken when connecting it in a system. To obtain a stable, low noise output, careful attention should be paid to factors such as conductor ratings, system grounding techniques and the way in which the load and remote sensing connections are made.

2-10 M362000-01 Rev E

DLM-E 3kW & 4kW Series Power Supplies Installation

2.8.1 Load Conductor Ratings

As a minimum, load wiring must have a current capacity greater than the output current rating of the power supply. This ensures that the wiring will not be damaged even if the load is shorted. The table below shows the maximum current rating, based on 450 amps per square centimeter, for various gauges of wire rated for 105 degrees C operation.

Operation at the maximum current rating results in approximately a 30–degree temperature rise for a wire operating in free air. Where load wiring must operate in areas with elevated ambient temperatures or bundled with other wiring, larger gauges or higher temperature–rated wiring should be used.

To overcome impedance and coupling effects, which can degrade the power supply performance, the use of leads of the largest gauge and shortest length possible is recommended.

AWG Maximum Current AWG Maximum Current

8 39 4/0 408 6 67 250 MCM 425 4 106 300 MCM 480

2 170

2.8.2 Noise and Impedance Effects

To minimize noise pickup or radiation from load circuits, load wires and remote sense wires should be twisted-pair with minimum lead length. Shielding of the sense leads may be necessary in high noise environments. Even if noise is not a concern, the load and remote sense wires should be twisted-pairs to reduce coupling between them, which could impact the stability of the power supply. If connectors are utilized for the power and sense leads, be careful not to introduce coupling between the leads. Ensure that the connector terminals for the sense leads are in adjacent locations, and minimize the physical loop area of the untwisted portions. Ideally, the sense leads should be separated from the power leads and should have their own connector.

Twisting the load wires provides an additional benefit in reducing the parasitic inductance of the cable. This improves the dynamic response characteristics at the load by maintaining a low source impedance at high frequencies. Also, with long load wires, the resultant inductance and resistance could produce high frequency voltage spikes at the load due to current variations in the load itself. The impedance introduced between the output of the power supply and the load could make the ripple/noise at the load worse than the specifications of the power supply (which are valid when measured at the rear panel bus bars). Additional filtering with bypass capacitors at the load terminals may be required to bypass the high frequency load currents.

Installation DLM-E 3kW & 4kW Series Power Supplies

2.8.3 Making the Connections

Load connections to the power supply are made at the positive and negative output terminals (or bus bars) at the rear of the power supply. See Figure 2–2. The power supply provides three load wiring mounting holes on each bus bar terminal, as specified in the following table. The small holes can be used for local sense lines.

Load Wiring Mounting Holes Diameter Hardware Size

One (1) per terminal 0.312" 1/4" (5/16" for 8V and 16V models) One (1) per terminal #6–32 Screw 0.32" OD (for 150V–600V models) Two (2) per terminal 0.201" on 0.5" centers #10 or smaller

CAUTION! When making connections to the bus bars, provide support when tightening hardware to prevent bending bus bars. Ensure that the mounting hardware at each terminal and wiring assembly is placed to avoid touching the other terminal and shorting the power supply output. Heavy connecting cables must have some form of strain relief to avoid loosening the connections or bending the bus bars.

CAUTION! If unit is not installed in a rack, care should be taken to protect personnel from contact with output bus bars.

2.8.4 Connecting Single Loads

Figure 2–4 and Figure 2–5 show recommended load and sensing connections for a single load. Local sense lines shown are default J11 connections. Refer to Section 3.3.1 Connecting Remote Sense Lines for more information about the sense line shield.

2.8.5 Connecting Multiple Loads

Proper connection of distributed loads is an important aspect of power supply applications. Two common methods of connection are the parallel power distribution method and the radial distribution method.

Proper connection of distributed loads is an important aspect of power supply application. A common mistake is to connect leads from the power supply to one load, from that load to the next load, and so on for each load in the system. In this parallel power distribution method, the voltage at each load depends on the current drawn by the other loads and DC ground loops are developed. Except for low current applications, this method should not be used.

The preferred way to distribute power is by the radial distribution method in which power is connected to each load individually from a single pair of terminals designated as the positive and negative distribution terminals. The pair of terminals may be the power supply output terminals, the terminals of one of the loads or a distinct set of terminals specially established for distribution. Connecting the sense leads to these terminals will compensate for losses and minimize the effect of one load upon another.

Figure 2–6 and Figure 2–7 show recommended load and sensing connections for multiple loads. Local sense lines shown are default J11 connections. Refer to Section 3.3.1 Connecting Remote Sense Lines for more information about grounding the sense line shield.

BASIC OPERATION

3.1 Introduction

Once the power supply installation is complete and both the AC input power and the load have been connected (see Section 2 Installation), the DLM–E Series power supply is in its default configuration and is ready to operate in local programming mode.

This section covers Constant Voltage and Constant Current Mode operation as controlled by local programming (Section 3.2). Remote sensing for voltage mode operation is described and illustrated in Section 3.3.

Remote Programming operation, monitoring, and programmable functions are described in Section 4 Advanced Operation.

3.2 Standard Operation

The DLM–E Series power supply has two basic operating modes: Constant Voltage Mode and Constant Current Mode, and two control modes: Local Programming Mode (default setting) and Remote Programming Mode. Both operating modes are available regardless of which control mode is used.

This section deals with power supply operation using the Local Programming in both Constant Voltage and Constant Current Modes. Remote Programming Mode as well as monitoring and programmable functions information is found in Section 4 Advanced Operation. Also see Section 3.3 for remote sense operations.

3.2.1 Operating Modes and Automatic Crossover

Whether controlled by local or remote programming, the power supply has two basic operating modes: Constant Voltage Mode and Constant Current Mode. The mode in which the power supply operates at any given time depends on the combination of:

• the output voltage setting V

• the output current limit setting I

• the resistance of the attached load R

In constant current mode, the power supply maintains the output current at the selected value (I

This feature allows the power supply to automatically switch operating modes in response to changing load requirements. If, for instance, the power supply was operating in Constant Voltage Mode (I

Current Mode. If the additional load was subsequently removed so that the load current was again less than the current limit setting, the supply would automatically return to Constant Voltage Mode.

3.2.2 Local Programming Mode Operation

Units are shipped from the factory configured for local programming mode operation. In local programming mode:

• Output voltage and current limit settings are adjusted with the front panel controls.

• The sense point of the supply is at the output terminals.

• The front panel OVP potentiometer determines the OVP set point.

See Section 4.4 Using Over Voltage Protection (OVP) for the adjustment procedure.

1. Turn both the voltage and current controls fully counter–clockwise.

2. Press the ENABLE/STANDBY switch to the STANDBY position to disable the power supply output.

3. Press the LOCAL/REMOTE switch to the LOCAL position for front panel operation.

4. Turn the POWER switch ON.

5. Press and hold the V&I PREVIEW button to display the voltage and current control settings on the voltmeter and ammeter displays.

6. Adjust the voltage control to the required voltage (this will be the maximum compliance voltage for applications using current mode operation).

7. Adjust the current control to the required current limit setting.

8. Release the V&I PREVIEW button.

9. Press the ENABLE/STANDBY switch to the ENABLE position to apply power to the load.

10. The output Voltmeter and Ammeter will now display the actual values being supplied to the load.

3.3 Using Remote Sensing

Remote sensing is used during voltage mode operation to shift the power supply's regulation point from its output terminals (default sense point) to the load or distribution terminals by using a separate pair of wires to monitor the load voltage. Remote sensing allows the power supply to compensate for voltage losses in the load lines which would otherwise degrade the regulation of the supply. The sense line connection points are located on the rear panel J11 connector. Section 4.2 Configuring for Remote Programming, Sensing, and Monitoring has more information about making J3 connector changes.

CAUTION! Do not use remote sensing with multiple supplies connected in series or in parallel.

3.3.1 Connecting Remote Sense Lines

The DLM–E Series units are shipped with the rear panel J11 Sense connector jumpered for local sensing of the output voltage. With local sensing, the output voltage is regulated at the output. This method does not compensate for voltage losses in the load lines, so it is recommended only for low current applications or applications for which load regulation is not essential.

To connect remote sense lines, refer to Figure 3–3 and to the following procedure:

1. Ensure the power supply is turned OFF. Allow several minutes to elapse to dissipate stored energy before altering J11 connector pin connections.

2. Remove the local sense jumpers connecting J11 pin 1 (positive sense) and pin 3 (negative sense or return sense) to the local bus bar or connector.

3. Connect the positive sense lead from the load to J11 pin 1 and the negative lead to J11 pin 3. Use shielded–twisted pair wiring of 22 AWG or larger for sense lines.

4. Ground the sense line shield, at one point only, to the power supply's return output connection at the load, or, to the power supply's return output at its output terminal, or to the power supply's chassis.

3-4 M362000-01 Rev E

DLM-E 3kW & 4kW Series Power Supplies Basic Operation

5. The optimal point for the shield ground must be determined by experiment, but the most common connection point is at the power supply's return output connection at the load.

6. Turn the power supply ON.

Notes:

1. If the power supply is operated with remote sense lines connected and with either of the positive or negative load lines not connected, the power supply shutdown circuit will be activated, causing the output voltage and current to fall to zero.

2. If the power supply is operated without remote sense lines or local sense jumpers in place, the supply will continue to work, but supply regulation will be degraded and/or erratic.

This section lists front panel switch, J11 connector, and rear panel DIP switch functions for the DLM–E Series supplies. Subsequently, it provides a location diagram (Section 4.2.2), in addition to procedures for resetting the jumpers and switches (Section 4.2.3), and for reconfiguring or making connections to the J3 connector (Section 4.2.4).

You will find remote programming procedures and diagrams covered in more detail in Section 4.3, remote sensing in Section 3.3, and remote monitoring of readback signals and status indicators in Section 4.6.

4.2.1 Programming, Monitoring, and Control Functions

Front Panel REMOTE/LOCAL Switch

You can use the REMOTE/LOCAL Programming switch for remote programming. When set to REMOTE programming, control of OUTPUT VOLTAGE, CURRENT LIMIT and OVP is passed to external voltage or current sources which are connected to the J3 connector. Resetting the switch to LOCAL position returns the supply to local (front panel) control. See Section 4.3 for more information about using this switch.

External J3 Connector

The factory default configuration for the J3 connector is with no jumpers or other connections. The external J3 connector provides user access to the following functions:

• Remote programming of output voltage or current limit, and for OVP

• Remote monitoring of the following readback signals and status indicators

Readback Signals Status Indicators

Voltage Monitor Overtemperature shutdown Current Monitor OVP status Remote/Local programming mode Volt/Curr operating mode

• Remote programming of the shutdown function using DC or TTL compatible signals

Making the Connection To make pin–to–pin connections:

1. Unsolder any unnecessary pin–to–pin jumpers as required by the application.

2. Solder new connections using any appropriate single bus wire such as AWG 20 to 24.

To connect external source leads, resistance leads, or monitoring lines:

3. Unsolder any unnecessary jumpers as required by the application.

4. Solder leads to the specified pin using the recommended wiring and/or grounding point for the application. Pin, wiring, and grounding specifications for particular applications can be found in Section 4. Advanced Operation except for remote sensing specifications which are in Section 3.3 Using Remote Sensing.

NOTE

When the front panel LOCAL/REMOTE Switch is moved to REMOTE operation, voltage, current, and OVP programming functions must be remotely programmed. For clarity, only the connections for the function being described are shown in the following figures.

4.3 Remote Programming of Output Voltage and

Current Limit

Remote programming allows control of the power supply's output voltage and/or current limit to shift from local operation at the front panel voltage and current controls to external analog input sources. As a programming source is varied, the power supply's output varies proportionally over its output range.

The analog programming signals are connected to the rear panel J3 connector. To provide the lowest noise performance, shielded–twisted pair wiring is recommended for making connections from external circuits to the J3 connector. Use the shortest leads possible. Ground the shield to pin 12 on the J3 connector or to the chassis via one of the J3 connector screws.

CAUTION! The remote programming input is internally referenced to the supply's negative output. Do not connect remote programming input lines (J3 pins 9 & 10) to the supply's positive output.

4.4 Using Over Voltage Protection (OVP)

The OVP circuit allows for protection of the load in the event of a remote programming error, an incorrect voltage control adjustment, or a power supply failure. The protection circuit monitors the output voltage and will reduce the output current and voltage to zero whenever a preset voltage limit is exceeded. The preset voltage limit, also called the set point or trip level, can be set either in local programming mode from the front panel or by remote programming through the J3 connector on the rear panel.

The red OVP LED on the front panel will light up when the OVP circuit has been activated.

4.4.1 Front Panel OVP Operation

In local programming mode, the OVP set point can be checked at any time by pressing the OVP PREVIEW switch: The OVP set point is the value displayed on the digital voltmeter.

To set the trip level from the front panel:

1. Adjust the power supply output to zero volts.

2. Press the OVP PREVIEW switch to observe the OVP set point on the voltmeter display.

3. Turn the OVP SET potentiometer until the desired set point is reached. Release the OVP CHECK switch.

4. Increase the power supply output voltage to check that the power supply shuts off the output at the selected set point.

4.4.2 Resetting the OVP Circuit

To reset the OVP circuit after it has been activated:

1. Reduce the power supply's output voltage setting to below the OVP set point.

2. Press the ENABLE/STANDBY switch to the STANDBY position.

3. Return the ENABLE/STANDBY switch to the ENABLE position and resume normal operation.

1. Reduce the power supply's output voltage setting to below the OVP set point.

2. Turn the power supply OFF using the POWER switch, then turn it back ON again.

2. Connect the external programming source between pins 3 (OVP programming input/positive) and 12 (return). Varying the programming voltage from zero to maximum will cause the OVP setting to vary from approximately 0 to 110% of the model rating.

3. Connect pins 3 (OVP programming input/positive) and 16 (1mA current source for OVP control) of J3 to the counter–clockwise end of the potentiometer and connect the tap and clockwise end of the potentiometer to pin 12 (return). Adjusting the resistance from zero to maximum will vary the output voltage from approximately 0 to 110% of the model rating.

4. Turn the power supply ON and adjust the external voltage programming input to zero.

6. Slowly increase the external output voltage programming signal until the red OVP LED lights and the power supply shuts down.

4.5 Using the Shutdown Function

The Shutdown function is used to disable or enable the supply's output voltage and current. It can be used to allow adjustments to be made to either the load or the power supply without shutting off the entire supply. This function may be activated from the front panel at any time by using the STANDBY switch. It can also be activated via remote programming, using positive or negative logic, with a TTL compatible input or higher DC signal.

4.5.1 STANDBY Switch

The STANDBY switch is a two–position rocker switch located on the power supply's front panel. See the front panel diagram in Section 2. When in the STANDBY position, the shutdown circuit is activated, and the output voltage and current are programmed to zero. Pushing the switch to the ENABLE position allows normal power supply operation to resume.

4.5.2 Programming the Shutdown Function

The Shutdown circuit uses a 5–24 VDC input to disable or enable the power supply output. Connections for the input signals are made on connector J3. Rear panel DIP switch S1-6, determines whether positive or negative logic for the signal is used. The input lines for the Shutdown circuit are optically isolated and can therefore be used by input sources with a voltage differential of up to +/– 150 VDC.

External Wiring

Use 20 to 24 AWG wiring when making connections to the J3 connector. Keep wiring as short as possible.

TTL Shutdown

To activate the Shutdown function using a DC input:

1. Turn off the power supply.

2. Connect the signal source to J3 pin 14 (Remote Shutdown Input/positive) and J3 pin 2 (Return for Shutdown Input) on the J3 connector on the rear panel. See Figure 4–12.

3. Set internal switch SW1-6 to select the desired circuit logic as defined in the following table.

4.5.3 Shutdown Application – Contact Closure

An external relay, whether normally open or normally closed, may be used to activate the Shutdown circuit. Either positive or negative logic may be used.

To activate the Shutdown function using an external relay:

1. Turn off the power supply.

2. Connect one side of the external relay to pin 15 (+5 VDC Auxiliary Output) on connector J3. Connect the other side of the relay to J3-pin 14 (Remote Shutdown Input). Also connect pin 2 (Shutdown Return) to pin 6 (Status Indicator Return). See Figure 4–13 through Figure 4–16.

4.6 Remote Monitoring

4.6.1 Readback Signals

Calibrated readback signals for remote monitoring of the output voltage and current are available via connections at the J3 connector on the rear panel. Rear panel DIP switch S1 settings allow you to select either a 0–5 VDC or a 0–10 VDC range for the output. See Section 4.2 Configuring for Remote Programming, Sensing, and Monitoring for more information about making these connections.

The following table shows the required pin connections and switch settings for remote monitoring of readback signals with 0–5 VDC or 0–10 VDC outputs. Use shielded–twisted pair wiring (20 to 24 AWG) and ground the shield to J3 connector pin 6 or to the chassis via one of the J3 connector screws. The readback signal represents 0 to 100% of the model–rated output.

4.7 Using Multiple Supplies

DLM–E Series power supplies of the SAME MODEL may be operated with outputs in series or in parallel to obtain increased load voltage or increased current. Split supply operation allows two positive or a positive and a negative output to be obtained. The power supply output may be biased up to a maximum of 150 VDC with respect to the chassis.

WARNING! Use extreme caution when biasing the output relative to the chassis due to potentially high voltage levels at the output and J3 terminals.

Do not attempt to bias program/monitor signal lines on the J3 connector relative to the power supplies positive output. The signal returns on the J3 program/monitor connector are at the same potential as the power supply return bus bar in a standard unit. Using the Isolated Programming Interface option allows control from a programming source biased relative to the supply’s output. Contact factory for additional details.

4.7.1 Configuring Multiple Supplies for Series Operation

Series operation will obtain a higher voltage from a single output using two or more supplies. Connect the negative (–) output terminal of one supply to the positive (+) output terminal of the next supply. See Figure 4–17. The total voltage available is the sum of the maximum voltages of each supply (add voltmeter readings). The maximum allowable current for a series string of power supplies is the model rated output current of a single supply in the string.

Note: The maximum allowable sum of the output voltages is 300 VDC. This is limited by the

voltage rating of certain internal components. See Section 1 for maximum voltage rating.

Advanced Operation DLM-E 3kW & 4kW Series Power Supplies

CAUTION! Remote sensing must not be used during series operation.

CAUTION! The remote programming input is internally referenced to the supply's negative output. Do not connect any remote programming input lines on the J3 connector to the supply's positive output.

Figure 4–17. Series Operation of Multiple Supplies

(Local sense lines shown are default J11 to busbar connections)

4.7.2 Configuring Multiple Supplies for Split Supply Operation

Split supply operation uses two power supplies to obtain two positive voltages with a common ground, or to obtain a positive–negative supply.

To obtain two positive voltages, connect the negative output terminals of both supplies together. The positive output terminals will provide the required voltages with respect to the common connection. See Figure 4–18.

To obtain a positive–negative supply, connect the negative output terminal of one supply to the positive output terminal of the second supply. The positive output terminal of the first supply then provides a positive voltage relative to the common connection while the negative output terminal of the second supply provides a negative voltage. The current limits can be set independently. The maximum current available in split supply operation is equal to the model– rated output of the supplies used. See Figure 4–19.

4.7.3 Configuring Multiple Supplies for Parallel Operation

Parallel operation is used to obtain a higher current output supply using up to five units. The DLM–E supplies are designed to be easily paralleled with current sharing between units with the use of a simple cable between supplies. See Figure 4–20.

Notes:

1. Set the rear panel switch S1–7 down on the Slave unit(s) only. This allows for full

control of the output voltage, current, and OVP trip level through one Master supply.

2. To control the slaves, plug the Master/Slave cable into J12 of the Master supply and

into J13 of the first Slave supply.

3. Plug an identical cable into J12 on this slave and connect to J13 on any subsequent

Slave supplies as required until all supplies in the Master/Slave set have a cable plugged into either J12 or J13 or both.

4. Ensure that all of the outputs of the positive terminals (+) and negative terminals (–)

are also connected in parallel. Refer to Section 2.8 for a discussion on the proper method for connecting to the load.

5. The total current available is the sum of the maximum currents of each supply. Each

supply will read back the portion of current that it is supplying to the load and these must be added together to get the total load current.

CAUTION! To prevent internal damage, ensure that the Master/Slave Parallel Output Enable switch S1–7 is Up on the Master supply and Down on all Slaves. There can be only one Master supply!

4.8 Front Panel Lockout

The front panel lockout mode enables a user to disable the front panel controls when the unit is being programmed exclusively through the J3 remote input connector. To activate the front panel lockouts, push the front panel LOCAL/REMOTE switch to the REMOTE position with the S1 rear panel Dip switch S1–8 in the down or closed position. Once the lock function has been activated, it disables local control for all output control functions, except the AC power switch, which remains under front panel control and lights the front panel LOCK LED.

4.9 Fault Alarm Signal

Active high state in converter indicates over temperature, over voltage protection (OVP), or internal shutdown. The Fault signal is the summary of protection. Circuits return J3-6 (Status Indicator Return). This terminal goes to low state when the converter is operating under normal conditions.

SECTION 5

MAINTENANCE AND

TROUBLESHOOTING

5.1 Periodic Service

This section provides periodic maintenance, calibration and troubleshooting information. Except for periodic cleaning and calibration, no routine service is required. Whenever a unit

is removed from service, it should be cleaned, using denatured or isopropyl alcohol or an equivalent solvent on the metal surfaces, and a weak solution of soap and water for the front panel. Low pressure compressed air may be used to blow dust from in and around components on the printed circuit boards.

5.2 Troubleshooting

Units requiring repair during their warranty period should be returned to the manufacturer for service. Unauthorized repairs performed during the warranty period may void the warranty. Please refer to the Warranty page in this manual for terms and contact information.

Potentially lethal voltage exists in the power circuit and the output of high voltage models. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time after power is removed. Only experienced technical personnel should make repairs. Be sure to isolate the power supply from the input line with an isolation transformer when using grounded test equipment such as an oscilloscope in the power circuit.

5.2.1 Preliminary Checks

CAUTION!

If the power supply displays any unusual or erratic shut the power supply off immediately and disconnect it from the AC power source. Check all loads, programming and monitoring connections and circuits. Check the AC input for correct voltage and frequency. Correct any problems found and retest the system. If no problems are found or the unit fails to operate correctly upon re–testing proceed with internal troubleshooting as described below.
