Important Safety Instructions
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
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
Policy” on page WA –3 .
WARNING: Limitations on use
The XTR 850 Watt Series Programmable DC Power Supply is not intended for
use in connection with life support systems or other medical equipment or
devices.
“Return Material Authorization
V. F i lte r
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.

Safety
Standard Warnings
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 XTR 850 Watt Series Programmable
DC Power Supply, read all instructions and cautionary markings on
the XTR and all appropriate sections of this Manual.
2. The XTR is for indoor use only. Do not expose the XTR to moisture.
To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation
openings. Be sure to install the XTR 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
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 XTR with damaged or substandard wiring.
“Ventilation” on
4. Do not operate the XTR if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or otherwise damaged in any way. If the XTR is damaged, see
“Warranty and Product Information” on page WA – 1.
5. Do not disassemble the XTR. It contains no user-serviceable parts.
See the
instructions on obtaining service. Attempting to service the XTR
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
XTR before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on
any circuits connected to the XTR. Turning off controls will not
reduce this risk.

Introduction
Chapter 1, Introduction, describes the features of the XTR
850 Watt Series Programmable DC Power Supply.
Introduction
Features and Options
The XTR 850 Watt Series 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), isolated analog
programming (ISOL), and USB built-in ports.
• Optional GPIB or Ethernet (ENET) 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 and Constant Voltage 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 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.
