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

Chapter 1 describes the XFR 2800 Watt Series
Programmable DC Power Supply and lists the features.
Features and Specifications
Description
This series of power supplies provides low noise, precisely regulated,
variable DC output at 2800 watts of output power. Over voltage
protection (OVP) and thermal shutdown are standard. Front panel
controls and indicators are extensive. Select from several remote control
choices: standard analog programming, optional isolated programming or
readback, and optional GPIB programming or RS-232 control. Remote
monitoring of output voltage and current is a standard feature. Use this
power supply either on your bench or in a standard 19 in. (483 mm) rack:
the unit occupies only 3.5 in. (2 U) of vertical rack space. Designed for
continuous use in standalone or systems applications, this power supply is
typically used to power DC equipment, control magnets, or burn in
components. See T able 1-1 for the list of available models.

Resetting the Switches
Before making any changes to the switch settings, disable the power
supply output by pushing the front panel STANDBY switch to its IN
position. This temporarily shuts down the power supply. The front panel
S/D LED turns on. Then, use any small, flat-bladed screwdriver to change
the switch settings.
Any of the eight switches on SW1 is OFF when it has been flipped up to
break contact, ON when flipped down to close contact.
Rear Panel J2 Connector
The J2 Programming and Monitoring connector is a 15-terminal wire
clamp connector located on the power supply’s rear panel. See Figure 1-4.
The J2 connector provides access to the following functions:
• Remote programming of output voltage AND/OR current limit
• Remote monitoring of calibrated readback signals for output voltage
and output current
• Remote control of the shutdown function using a 2.5 V to 15 V signal

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.
