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 rac k 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.

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.

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 po wer 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
Chapter 2 provides recommendations and procedures for
inspecting, installing, and testing the power supply.
Installation
Basic Setup Procedure
See Table 2-1 for a summary of the basic setup procedure and an overall
view of the subsections in Chapter 2. Use the procedure as a quick
reference if you are familiar with the installation requirements for the
power supply. If you want more information, each step in the procedure
refers to subsequent sections which contain more details. Execute each
step in the sequence given.

Inspection, Cleaning, and Packaging
Inspection, Cleaning, and Packaging
Initial Inspection
When you first receive your unit:
1. Inspect the unit for scratches and cracks, and for broken switches,
connectors, and displays.
2. Ensure that the packing box contains the AC input cover and strain
relief kit (see Figure 2-2).
3. Have the service technician check the printed circuit board and its
components if you suspect internal damage.
If the unit is damaged, save all packing materials and notify the carrier
immediately. See packing instructions on page 2–3.
Periodic Cleaning
No routine servicing of the power supply is required except for periodic
cleaning. Whenever a unit is removed from operation, clean metal
surfaces with naphtha or an equivalent solvent and the front panel with a
weak solution of soap and water. Use low-pressure compressed air to
blow dust from in and around components on the printed circuit boards.
Packaging for Shipping or Storage
Follow these instructions to prepare the unit for shipping or storage.
1. When returning the unit or sending it to the service center, attach a tag
to the unit stating its model number, available from the front panel
label, and its serial number, available from the rear panel label. Give
the date of purchase and an invoice number, if you have it, as well as
a brief description of the problem.
2. For storage or shipping, repack the power supply in its original
container. If the original container is not available, seal the unit in a
plastic bag and then pack it in a 200 lb. (90 kg) test, corrugated
cardboard carton large enough to allow 2 in. (5 cm) of cushioning
material to surround the unit. Use a material such as foam slabs or
chips.
3. Label the carton as shown in Figure 2-1.
4. If shipping, mark the address of the service center and your return
address on the carton.
TM-F2OP-C1XN-012-3

5. If storing, stack no more than eight cartons high. Check the storage
temperature range and storage altitude specification in
“Environmental Specifications” on page A–9.

Location, Mounting, and Ventilation
Use the power supply in rack-mounted or benchtop applications.
Rack Mounting
WARNING: Shock hazard
Ensure that any mounting screws do not penetrate more than 1/8 in. (3.0 mm) into
the sides of the unit.
The power supply is designed to fit in a standard 19 in. (483 mm)
equipment rack. To install:
1. Use the rack mount brackets at either side of the front panel to install
the power supply in a rack.
2. Provide adequate support fo r the rear of the unit without obstructing
the ventilation inlets on the sides of the unit. Use a support bar at the
rear of the unit. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to install the
support bar.
To install the power supply with rack mount slides, use a commercially–
available slide kit. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install the
slides. Add a 1/8 in. (3.0 mm) spacer between the chassis and the slides.
2-4TM-F2OP-C1XN-01
Ventilation
Whether you place the power supply in a rack or on a bench, allow
cooling air to reach the ventilation inlets on the front and sides of the unit
and allow 4 in. (10 cm) of unrestricted air space at the rear of the unit for
the fan exhaust. Any ventilation space at the top and bottom of the supply
will further lower internal operating temperatures.
Check page A–9 for the operating ambient temperature range and the
operating altitude specification.
AC Input Power
WARNING: Shock hazard
There is a potential shock hazard if the power supply chassis and cover are not
connected to an electrical ground via the safety ground in the AC input connector.
Ensure that the power supply is connected to a grounded AC outlet with the
recommended AC input connector configured for the available line voltage as
described in this section.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Disconnect AC power from the unit before removing the cover. Even with the
front panel power switch in the OFF position, live line voltages are exposed when
the cover is removed. Repairs must be made by experienced service technicians
only.
AC Input Power
CAUTION
When power switch is turned on, output voltage or current previously set will be
applied to loads.
