Important Safety Instructions

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

WARNIN

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.

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 equipment, follow ESD Safety Procedures. Electrostatic discharges might cause damage to the equipment.

Making J2 Connections

CAUTION

Do not attempt to bias program/monitor signal return (J2 terminals 5, 7, 9, and

11) relative to the supply output because control ground (J2-3) and the program/ monitor signal returns are at the same potential as the power supply return in a standard unit. Use the Isolated Programming (ISOL) Interface option to allow control from a programming source at a different potential relative to the supply’s output.

CAUTION

To maintain the isolation of the power supply output and prevent ground loops, use an isolated (ungrounded) programming source when operating the power supply via remote analog control at the J2 connector.

Make connections to the J2 connector using its screw-type wire clamps. Before making any connections, turn the power supply OFF and wait until the front panel displays have gone out. You can unplug the connector from the back of the unit in order to make it easier to install the required wiring.

Rear Panel Connectors and Switch

Wiring

WARNING: Shock hazard

There is a potential shock hazard when using a power supply with a rated output greater than 40 V . Use wiring with a minimum insulation rating equivalent to the maximum output voltage of the power supply. For example, select TEW-105, 105 °C, 600 V wiring for use with a 600 V, 4 A model power supply.

For most connectors and jumpers, use any suitable wire such as 16 to 24 AWG stranded wire. For lowest noise performance, use shielded pair wiring. Strip wires 0.26 in. (6.5 mm), insert, and tighten the wire clamp.

TM-F2OP-C1XN-01 2-11

Installation

Load Connection

This section provides recommendations for load wires and how to connect them for both single and multiple load configurations.

Load Wiring

WARNING

Ensure that the chassis ground screw does not penetrate more than 3/8 in. (9 mm) into the rear panel of the unit.

When connecting load wiring to the power supply, consider the following factors:

• insulation rating of the wire

• current carrying capacity of the wire

• maximum load wiring length for operation with sense lines

• noise and impedance effects of the load lines

Insulation Rating

Use load wiring with a minimum insulation rating equivalent to the maximum output voltage of the power supply. For example, select TEW-105, 105 °C, 600 V wiring for use with a 600 V, 4 A model power supply

Current Carrying Capacity

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. Table 2-4 shows the maximum current rating, based on 450 A/cm rated for 105 °C operation. Operating at the maximum current rating results in an approximately 30 °C 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, use larger gauges or wiring rated for higher temperatures.

Load Wiring Length for Operation with Sense Lines

For applications using remote sensing, you must limit the voltage drop across each load wire. Figure 2-3 shows some allowable wire lengths for a given load current and wire size. We recommend that you use the larger load wiring to ensure a smaller voltage drop (1 V typical maximum), although units will compensate for up to 5 V drop in each line.

Installation

Noise and Impedance Effects

To minimize noise pickup or radiation, use shielded pair wiring of the shortest possible length for load wires. Connect the shield to the chassis via a rear panel mounting screw. Where shielding is impossible or impractical, simply twisting the wires together will offer some noise immunity. When using local sense connections, use the largest practical wire size to minimize the effects of load line impedance on the regulation of the supply.

Making Load Connections

CAUTION

When making connections to the bus bars, ensure that each terminal's mounting hardware and wiring assembly are 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.

Make load connections at the rear of the power supply at the positive and negative output bus bars or to the 4-terminal wire clamp connector, depending on the model.

Output Cover

The power supply comes with a bus bar cover and strain relief. See Figure 2-4. This cover is also installed on models fitted with the high voltage output connector.

To detach the 2-part cover:

1. Undo 6-32 x 5/16 in. Phillips pan head screws, 6 x 0.288 in. lock washers, and 6 x 5/16 in. flat washers (3 places) from the top cover.

2. Pull up on the top cover to remove it.

3. Undo 6-32 x 1/4 in. Keps nuts and 6 x 5/16 in. flat washers from the chassis-mounted PEM studs (3 places) to remove the chassis cover.

Installation

Inductive Loads

T o prevent damage to the power supp ly from inductive kickback, connect a diode across the output. The diode must be rated at greater than or equal to the supply’s output voltage and have a current surge rating greater than or equal to the supply’s output rating. Connect the cathode to the positive output and the anode to the negative output/return.

Where positive load transients such as back EMF from a motor may occur, connect a transorb or a varistor across the output to protect the power supply. The breakdown voltage rating for the transorb or varistor must be approximately 10% higher than the rated supply output.

Connecting Single Loads

Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8 show recommended load and sensing connections for single loads. Local sense lines shown are default connections at the rear panel J10 sense connector as identified on Figure 1-2 on page 1–5.

You do not need remote sensing for basic operation of your supply. However, if you wish to correct any small drops in your load lines, then use the remote sensing feature. See “Local and Remote Sensing” on page 2–21 for more information.

Connecting Multiple Loads

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

Parallel Power Distribution This distribution method involves connecting leads from the power supply to one load, from that load to the next load, and so on for each load in the system. This method results in the voltage at each load depending on the current drawn by the other loads and allows DC ground loops to develop. Except for low current applications, we do not recommend using this method.

Radial Power Distribution Method To connect distributed loads, we recommend that you use radial power distribution. With th is method, you connect power to each load individually from a single pair of terminals designated as the positive and negative distribution terminals. These terminals may be the power supply output terminals, the terminals of one of the loads, or a distinct set of terminals especially established for distribution use. Connect the sense leads to these terminals to compensate for losses and to minimize the effect of one load upon another.

Figure 2-9 and Figure 2-10 show recommended load and sensing connections for multiple loads. Local sense lines shown are default J10 sense connections. See “Local and Remote Sensing” on page 2–21 for more information about using remote sensing and grounding the sense line shield.

Local and Remote Sensing

Use connections at the rear panel J10 sense connector to configure the power supply for local or remote sensing of output voltage. See Figure 211 for a drawing of the sense connector.

Sense Wiring

WARNING: Shock hazard

There is a potential shock hazard at the sense connector when using a power supply with a rated output greater than 40 V. Select wiring with a minimum insulation rating equivalent to the maximum output voltage of the power supply for use as local sense jumpers or for remote sense wires. For example, select TEW-105, 105 °C, 600 V wiring for use with a model 600 V, 4 A power supply. Ensure that connections at the load end are shielded to prevent contact with hazardous voltages.

For lowest noise performance, use shielded pair wiring of 16 to 24 AWG for remote sense lines. Strip wires 0.26 in. (6.5 mm) and insert securely as with any wire clamp connector.

Local and Remote Sensing

Local Sensing

We ship the power supply with the rear panel J10 sense connector jumpered for local sensing of the output voltage. See T able 2-5 for t he list of connector functions and a description of local sense connections. With local sensing, the output voltage is regulated at the output terminals (or bus bars). 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 precise load regulation is not essential.

Note:When using local sense connections, use the largest practical load wire size to minimize the effects of line impedance on the regulation of the supply .

Using Remote Sensing

WARNING: Shock hazard

There is a potential shock hazard at the sense points when using a power supply with a rated output greater than 40 V. Ensure that connections at the load end are shielded to prevent contact with hazardous voltages.

WARNING: Shock hazard

Ensure that the chassis ground screw does not penetrate more than 3/8 in. (9 mm) into the rear panel of the unit.

CAUTION

Ground the sense line shield in one place only. Locations include: the power supply’s return output connection at the load, the power supply’s return output at its negative output terminal, or the power supply's chassis.

CAUTION

Do not use remote sensing with multiple supplies connected in series.

Local and Remote Sensing

Use remote sensing during voltage mode operation to shift the power supply’s regul ation point from it s default position at the rear panel output terminals to the load or distribution terminals by using a separate pair of wires to allow the control circuitry to monitor the load voltage. This allows the power supply to compensate for voltage losses in the load lines which will otherwise degrade the regulation of the supply. Line drop is subtracted from the voltage available at the power supply's output.

To connect remote sense lines:

1. Turn OFF the power supply.

2. Remove the local sense jumpers connecting J10 mating connector

terminal 5 (positive sense) to terminal 4 (positive output) and terminal 1 (return sense) to terminal 2 (power supply return).

3. Connect the positive remote sense lead to J10 mating connector

terminal 5 (positive sense) and the negative lead to terminal 1 (return sense). Ensure that the mating connector is plugged securely into the rear panel sense connector. Connect the other ends of the sense wires to the corresponding sense points at the load.

TM-F2OP-C1XN-01 2-23

Installation

4. To prevent ground loops, ground the sense line shield, at one point only , to the power supply’ s return output connection at the load, to the power supply’s return output at its negative output terminal, or to the power supply’s chassis.

5. Turn the power supply ON.

Notes:

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

2. If you operate the power supply 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, or, the OVP circuit may activate.

Local Operation

Chapter 3 provides procedures for local (front panel) operation. It includes procedures for using over voltage protection, shutdown function, multiple supplies, and over temperature protection.

Local Operation

Introduction

Once you have installed the power supply and have connected both the AC input power and the load as covered in Chapter 2, “Installation”, the power supply is ready to operate in local control mode (that is, operation at the unit’s front panel).

• See “Standard Operation” on page 3–3 for a brief explanation of Constant Voltage and Constant Current Mode operation and see page 3–7 to page 3–17 for more about power supply functions such as over voltage protection, shutdown function, over temperature protection, and using multiple supplies.

•See “User Diagnostics” on page 5–9 for troubleshooting information for the operator.

• Turn to Chapter 4, “Remote Operation” for descriptions of remote programming options and remote monitoring of the power supply.

3-2 TM-F2OP-C1XN-01

Standard Operation

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

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:

Local Control Configuration Additional References

Use the front panel controls to adjust the output voltage and current limit settings. (Note: Use the LOCAL button only when you have a digital programming interface installed.)

The supply's sense point is at the rear panel J10 sense connector terminals.

The OVP set point is adjusted at the front panel to approximately 110% of rated output voltage.

The over temperature shutdown function automatically resets when activated as determined by the position of rear panel switch SW1-8. A latch off setting is also available.

Local Operation

Setting Output Voltage and Current Limit

Install the power supply and connect the load as described in “Installation”. Ensure that the power supply is set up for local control as described in “Shipped Configuration (Local Control Mode)” on p age 3–5. Then, set the output voltage and current limit at the front panel with the following procedure.

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

2. Turn the AC power ON.

3. Press the STANDBY switch to its IN position to disable the power supply output. The red Shutdown (S/D) LED turns on.

4. Press and hold the V/I CHECK button to display the voltage and current control settings on the voltmeter and ammeter displays.

5. Adjust the voltage control to the desired voltage (the compliance voltage for applications using current mode operation).

6. Adjust the current control to the desired current limit setting.

7. Release the V/I CHECK button.

8. Press the STANDBY switch to its OUT position to apply power to the load. The S/D LED turns off.

Note:The control circuits have been designed to allow you to set output voltage and current up to 5% over the model-rated maximum values. The power supply will operate within these extended ranges, but we cannot guarantee full performance to specification.

3-6 TM-F2OP-C1XN-01

Using Over Voltage Protectio n (OVP)

Using Over Voltage Protection (OVP)

The OVP circuit protects 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 at the output of the power supply and will shut down the main power converter whenever a preset voltage limit is exceeded. Set the preset voltage limit (also called the set point or trip level) using the screwdriver-adjustable, front panel OVP potentiometer, or via one of the optional GPIB or RS-232 programming interfaces.

Notes:

1. The default preset limit is approximately 110% of the rated output

voltage.

2. When using OVP with remote sensing lines connected, compensate

for the voltage line drop across the output return line by measuring or calculating the line drop, then adding this value to the desired OVP setpoint.

Front Panel OVP Operation

In local control mode, check the OVP set point at any time by pressing the OVP CHECK switch. The OVP set point is the value displayed on the digital voltmeter.

To set the trip level from the front panel:

1. Disconnect any loads. Turn the power supply ON.

2. Adjust the power supply output voltage to any voltage lower than the

desired trip level.

3. Press the front panel STANDBY (output shutdown) switch to its IN

position. The red S/D LED turns on.

4. Press the OVP CHECK switch to see the OVP set point on the

voltmeter display.

5. Holding down the OVP CHECK switch, turn the OVP SET

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

6. Press the STANDBY switch to its OUT position. The S/D LED turns

off.

TM-F2OP-C1XN-01 3-7

Local Operation

7. To check that the power supply shuts off at the desired set point, slowly increase the output voltage while monitoring the front panel voltmeter. The OVP LED on the front panel turns on when the OVP circuit activates.

Resetting the OVP Circuit

To reset the OVP circuit after it activates:

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

2. Press the STANDBY switch IN. The red S/D LED on the front panel turns on. The OVP LED turns off.

3. Press the STANDBY switch again to return power to the load 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 AC power switch, wait until the front panel displays go out, then turn the power supply back ON again.

3-8 TM-F2OP-C1XN-01

Using the Shutdown Function

Use the Shutdown function to disable or enable the supply’s output so that you can make adjustments to either the load or the power supply without shutting off the power supply. Activate this function from the front panel at any time by using the STANDBY switch. You can also activate it via remote control through the rear panel J2 Programming and Monitoring connector, using a 2.5 V to 15 V signal or a transistor-transistor logic (TTL) compatible signal. The input lines for the Shutdown circuit are optically isolated.

STANDBY Switch

The STANDBY switch is a press ON/press OFF switch located on the power supply’s front panel. See the front panel diagram in “Front Panel Controls” on page 1–3. Push the switch to its IN position to activate the Shutdown circuit. The output voltage and current fall to zero and the red S/D (Shutdown) LED turns on. Push the switch once more to reset it to its OUT position and resume normal power supply operation.

Controlling the Shutdown Function via the J2 Connector

The shutdown circuit accepts a 2.5 V to 15 V signal to disable or enable the power supply output. Make connections for signals at connector J2, located on the unit’s rear panel. Set rear panel switch SW1-7 to select signal logic. See “Front Panel Controls” on page 1–3 for more information about making J2 connector and SW1 switch changes.

To activate the shutdown function:

1. Turn OFF the power supply.

2. Connect the signal source to J2 connector terminal 15 (Shutdown

Input/positive) and terminal 14 (Shutdown Return).

3. Set switch SW1-7 to select the desired circuit logic as set out in Table

3-2.

4. Turn on the power supply . The power supply will operate as described

in the

Supply Output column in Table 3-2, according to the logic you

select and the level of the input signal. The S/D (Shutdown) LED on the front panel turns on when the Shutdown circuit is activated.

Using Multiple Supplies

WARNING

There is a shock hazard at the load when using a power supply with a rated or combined output greater than 40 V . To protect personnel against accidental contact

with hazardous voltages created by series connection, ensure that the load, including connections, has no live parts which are accessible. Also ensure that the insulation rating of the load wiring and circuitry is greater than or equal to the maximum or combined output voltage of the power supply.

CAUTION

Do not connect power supplies from different manufacturers in parallel or in series.

CAUTION

The remote programming inputs are internally referenced to the supply’s negative output. Do not connect remote programming ground lines (J2 terminals 3, 5, and 7) to the supply’s positive output.

Using Multiple Supplies

You can operate power supplies of the SAME MODEL with outputs in series or in parallel to obtain increased load voltage or increased current. Split supply operation gives you two positive outputs or a positive and a negative output.

Note:If your application requires the use of isolated programming inputs, contact the manufacturer about the optional ISOL Interface.

Local Operation

Configuring Multiple Supplies for Series Operation

CAUTION

Do not use remote sensing during series operation.

CAUTION

The maximum allowable sum of the output voltages is 600 Vdc.

Use series operation to obtain a single higher voltage 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 3-2. The total voltage available is the sum of the maximum voltages of each supply (add voltmeter readings, to a maximum of 600 V). The maximum allowable current for a series string of power supplies is the output current of a single supply in the string.

Figure 3-2

3-12 TM-F2OP-C1XN-01

Series Operation of Multiple Supplies

Configuring Multiple Supplies for Parallel Operation

Use parallel operation to obtain a higher current through a single output using two or more supplies. Set all of the OVP setpoints to maximum. (See “Using Over Voltage Protection (OVP)” on page 3–7.) Set all of the outputs to the same voltage before connecting the positive (+) output terminals and negative (–) output terminals in parallel. See Figure 3-3. The total current available is the sum of the maximum currents of each supply.

When operating multiple supplies in parallel, the operating mode of each supply depends on the load current being drawn. For example, with two 40 V, 70 A power supplies operating in parallel with a 100 A load, one supply operates in constant current mode supplying 70 A and the other supply operates in voltage mode supplying the remaining 30 A. The level of current sharing between units depends on how accurately the output voltages are matched.

Note:If you do not fix the OVP setpoints at maximum, the OVP circuit may trip on one unit, reducing the current available to the load.

Using Multiple Supplies

TM-F2OP-C1XN-01 3-13

Local Operation

Sensing for Parallel Operation

Use default local sensing to enhance power sharing between units, as the impedance of the load lines will tend to correct for current imbalance. If you use remote sensing at the load for better voltage regulation, one supply always operates in current limit mode and supplies most of the power.

Using Multiple Supplies

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.

Two Positive Voltages

To obtain two positive voltages, connect the negative output terminals of both supplies together in a common connection. The positive output terminals will provide the required voltages with respect to the common connection. See Figure 3-4.

CAUTION

To prevent possible damage to the supply, do not connect the remote program return line of the negative supply to the common connection.

T o 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. Y ou can set the current limits independently . The maximum current available in split supply operation is equal to the rated output of the supplies. For example, 70 A for two 40 V, 70 A models. See Figure 3-5.

Over Temperature Protection (OTP)

The OTP function allows you to select how the power supply recovers from an over temperature shutdown using the rear panel switch SW1-8. See Table 3-3 for switch settings and selections. See “Rear Panel Connectors and Switch” on page 1–5 for more information about the switch. The OTP shutdown circuit activates before the internal components can exceed their safe internal operating temperatures. When an OTP shutdown occurs, the front panel OTP LED turns on.

Remote Operation

Chapter 4 details remote analog programming operation and remote monitoring of output voltage and current.

Remote Operation

Introduction

The rear panel switches and connector on the power supply allow you to program the supply with an analog device or to output readback signals. This section covers the following topics:

•See “Remote Analog Programming of Output Voltage and Current

•See “Remote Monitoring of Ou tput Voltage and Current” on page 4–7

Isolated Programming

The four-channel Isolated (ISOL) Programming Interface is an internal card which is ordered as an option. It allows remote programming and readback of the power supply’ s output voltage and current limit with 0-5V analog signals at a different potential relative to the power supply’s output. Contact the manufacturer to order.

You can operate the power supply from a computer if you have had the GPIB or RS-232 Interface card installed as an option. Refer to the separate interface manual for all setup and operation instructions for remote digital programming.

4-2 TM-F2OP-C1XN-01

Remote Analog Programming of Output Voltage and Current Limit

Remote analog 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 sources. As you vary the external programming source, the power supply’s output varies proportionally over its output range.

Using remote analog programming requires that you reset switch SW1 and make connections to the J2 connector on the power supply’s rear panel. See “Rear Panel Connectors and Switch” on page 1–5.

TM-F2OP-C1XN-01 4-3

Remote Operation

To set up remote analog programming:

1. Turn the power supply OFF.

2. Using Table 4-2, set switches SW1-1, SW1-2, SW1-3, and SW1-4 according to the selected programming sources. See the Notes at the end of this procedure for more information about switch settings.

3. Install any J2 connector jumpers as indicate d in Table 4-2.

4. Connect the programming source(s) to the mating J2 connector as shown in Figure 4-1 on page 4–6, observing the correct polarity for voltage sources. Ensure that the mating connector is plugged securely into the rear panel connector.

5. Set the programming sources to the desired levels and turn the power supply ON. The REM LED turns on.

6. Adjust the external programming source to change the power supply’s output.

Notes:

1. Switches SW1 to SW4 can be set to their defaults (all open) unless otherwise specified in Table 4-2. Switches SW1-5, SW1-6, SW1-7, and SW1-8 are not required for remote programming. They can remain at the settings you have selected for your application.

2. Resetting switches SW1-3 or SW1-4, the programming scale selection switches, may require that you recalibrate the programming circuit to maintain programming accuracy. See Chapter 5.

3. Any of the eight switches on SW1 is OFF (OPEN) when it has been flipped up to break contact, ON (CLOSED) when flipped down to close contact.

4. The control circuits have been designed to allow you to set output voltage and current up to 5% over the model-rated maximum values. The power supply will operate within these extended ranges, but we cannot guarantee full performance to specification.

Remote Monitoring of Output Voltage and Current

Readback Signals

The J2 connector on the rear panel provides access to calibrated readback signals for remote monitoring of the output voltage and current. Rear panel switches SW1-5 and SW1-6 allow you to select either a 0-5 Vdc or a 0-10 Vdc range for the output. The readback signal represents 0 to 100% of the power supply’s output.

See Table 4-1 for the required J2 connections and switch settings for remote monitoring of readback signals with 0-5 Vdc or 0-10 Vdc outputs. Use shielded pair wiring (20 to 24 AWG) and ground the shield to J10 sense connector terminal 1 (return sense) or to the chassis.

Calibration and

Troubleshooting

Chapter 5 details remote analog programming operation and remote monitoring of output voltage and current. It also provides troubleshooting information.

Calibration and Troubleshooting

WARNING: Shock hazard

Exercise caution when using and calibrating a power supply. High energy levels can be stored at the output voltage terminals on a power supply in normal operation. In addition, potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and on the output and sense connectors of a power supply with a rated output greater than 40 V. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time after power is removed.

Adjustments to programming and readback accuracy for the power supply are made using cover-off procedures which must be performed by a service technician.

Calibration Setup

Service Environment and Precautions

• Follow established antistatic procedures.

• Work at a bench with adequate room and support for the unit under test and for all equipment required.

• To reduce shock hazard, use only an insulated, straight-blade screwdriver when calibrating trim potentiometers.

• NEVER calibrate these units alone. Ensure that someone is present who can help should an accident occur.

Equipment Required

You will need the following equipment when calibrating your power supply.

• 5 1/2 digit true RMS voltmeters (DVMs) (±0.05% accuracy) with test leads

• Current shunt 1 mV/A (±0.25%) and connecting wire. The recommended current ratings for the DC shunt and connecting wire must be at least 10% greater than the power supply's output current rating. Please see Table 2-4 on page 2–13.

• Non-conducting, straight-bladed screwdriver

5-2 TM-F2OP-C1XN-01

Accessing Calibration Potentiometers

WARNING: Shock hazard

Disconnect AC power from the unit before removing the cover. Even when the front panel power switch is in the OFF position, live line voltages are exposed when the cover is removed. Repairs and adjustments must be made by experienced service technicians only.

WARNING: Shock hazard

Use a non-conducting, straight-blade screwdriver to adjust the trim pots.

CAUTION

Follow established antistatic procedures. There are static-sensitive parts on the printed circuit boards.

You will need to remove the power supply’s cover to access the programming and readback calibration potentiometers which are located on the A2 PCB. See Figure 5-1 to locate the potentiometers.

Calibration Setup

Removing Option Card

If there is a GPIB or RS-232 option card (PCB) installed inside the power supply, you will have to remove it to access the calibration potentiometers.

Tool Required: Phillips #2 screwdriver

1. Turn OFF the power supply. Disconnect AC Power. Remove the

cover.

2. Remove 4 screws from their standoffs inside the power supply to

release the option card.

3. Remove 2 screws at the rear panel to release the option card’s sub-

plate.

4. Unplug the ribbon cable connectors from the option card. Lift out

card.

5. Remove the four screws holding the option card support plate and

remove the plate.
