WARNING: High energy and high voltage
Exercise caution when using 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.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Operate the power supply in an environment free of flammable gases or fumes.
To ensure that the power supply's safety features are not compromised, use the
power supply as specified in this Manual and do not substitute parts or make any
unauthorized modifications. If service is necessary, please return the power
supply to the Authorized Service Center. See the Warranty on page ii.
WARNING: Limitations on use
The XG Family Programmable DC Power Supply is not intended for use in
connection with life support systems or other medical equipment or devices.
CAUTION: For use as a battery charger
When you are using a power supply for battery charging applications, it is
essential to provide an appropriately sized fuse or circuit breaker in series
between the power supply output and the battery.
Installation of a protector (fuse or DC circuit breaker), rated for about 115% of
the maximum current rating of the power supply and designed specifically to
interrupt the DC voltage of the battery, will provide adequate current protection.
Where several power supplies are in parallel, it is best to fuse each power supply
rather than use one fuse at the battery.

WARNING: Keep these instructions
This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions. Read and
keep this Operating Manual for future reference.
1. Before installing and using the XG Family Programmable DC
Power Supply, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the
instrument and all appropriate sections of this Manual.
2. This instrument is for indoor use only. Do not expose the instrument
to moisture. To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct
the ventilation openings. Be sure to install the instrument in a
compartment which allows air to reach the ventilation inlets on the
front and rear of the unit to prevent overheating. For more
information, see “Ventilation” on page 2-4.
3. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that the existing
wiring is in good condition and the wire is not undersized. Do not
operate the instrument with damaged or substandard wiring.
4. Do not operate the instrument if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. If the instrument is
damaged, see the Warranty on page ii.
5. Do not disassemble the instrument. It contains no user-serviceable
parts. See the Warranty on page ii for instructions on obtaining
service. Attempting to service the instrument yourself may result in
a risk of electrical shock or fire. Internal capacitors remain charged
after all power is disconnected.
6. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect AC power from
the instrument before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or
working on any circuits connected to the instrument. Turning off
controls will not reduce this risk.

Introduction
Chapter 1, Introduction, describes the features of the XG Family
Programmable DC Power Supply.
The XG Family Programmable DC Power Supply provides stable,
variable output voltage and current for a broad range of development and
system requirements. The power supplies have a high power density and
numerous industry standard interfaces:
RS-232, RS-485, analog programming (APG), and USB built-in
ports.
Optional GPIB or Ethernet (ENET), isolated analog programming
(ISOL), control for remote operation and readback.
Seamless switching between front panel and any digital interface
(RS-232, RS-485, USB, GPIB or ENET).
Simultaneous digital displays for both voltage and current.
Front panel control by rotary Adjust/Enter knob, permitting high
resolution output setting.
Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) reduces input current and
input current harmonics.
Automatic crossover system allowing the power supply to switch
between Constant Current, Constant Voltage and Constant Power
(available in version 2.21 and higher) operating modes.
Parallel or series connection among multiple units to produce
greater diversity or to use in higher power applications.
Short-circuit protection of DC outputs provideing greater operating
safety.
Built-in APG and ISOL (optional) interface to provide a
galvanically isolated analog voltage control of the output,
master/slave output tracking, and remote Enable/disable for safety
and precision.
Remote output voltage sensing to automatically compensate for
cable losses.
Software calibrated.
Three user setting memory locations.
M10 Option preprograms the voltage to reset to zero upon power on
and upon output enable.
