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.

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.
For applications using remote sensing, you must limit the voltage drop
across each load wire. Figure 2-3shows 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. See also
“Local and Remote Sensing” on page 2–21.

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.

Load Connection

Single Load with Remote Sensing
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 DistributionThis 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 MethodTo 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-012-23
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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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

again.
3-8TM-F2OP-C1XN-01
Using the Shutdown Function
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.
1. If switch SW1-7 is ON but there is no signal applied, the S/D LED
turns on and the power supply will not provide an output until the
HIGH signal level is applied.
2. 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.

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
3-12TM-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-013-13
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.

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,

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.

programming of output voltage and current limit with 0-5 V and
0-10 V voltage sources and 0-5 k and 0-10 k resistances.
for the connector and switch settings when using calibrated readback
signals for output voltage and output current with selectable 0-5 V or
0-10 V scales.
Remote Digital Programming
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.
4-2TM-F2OP-C1XN-01
Remote Analog Programming of Output Voltage and Current Limit
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.
Remote Programming Options
See Table 4-1 for a summary of the options available to you for
programming output voltage and current limit using an analog source.

Remote Analog Programming Procedure
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.
CAUTION
The remote programming inputs are internally referenced to the supply’s
negative output. Do not connect control ground (J2 terminals 3, 5, or 7) to the
supply’s positive output.

TM-F2OP-C1XN-014-3
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.

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 4-1for 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.

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
5-2TM-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.
