1. INTRODUCTION
The BK Precision Analog and Digital series are high quality
serial control type DC Regulated Power Supplies. These models
can be operated at constant voltage or constant current mode
whose output can be varied from 0 up to the rated values for
respective model.
It is a compact unit provided with separate voltage and
current meters (Analog for 1620A, 1622A, 1626A and 3-digit
LEDS for 1621A, 1623A, and 1627A series) for monitoring the
output voltage and current simultaneously. In terms of
operability, these units enable high precision, continuous
variability via coarse and fine adjust knobs. The BK Precision
Analog and Digital series can be connected in parallel with
multiple units of the same model set up a “master/slave”
configuration to increase the output current capability. Serial
connection of multiple units can be used to increase the output
voltage level.
This family of power supplies provides clean and stable DC
output which is most suitable for many areas including
laboratory, industrial, field service, hobby, and telecommucation
applications.
2. FEATURES
• The BK Precision Analog and Digital series are constant
voltage / constant current power supplies which feature
excellent line and load regulations, low ripple and noise
characteristics.
• The units feature separate voltage and current meters so
that output voltage and current can be monitored
simultaneously.
• Output voltage and current can be adjusted continuously
in full range to any desired values. Adjustment can be
done easily and precisely by using separate coarse and
fine adjust knobs.
• The constant current circuit operates to protect against
overload and output short circuit. The limiting current
values can be preset in the full range of the rated values
for respective model.
• Multiple units of power supplies of same family can be
connected in series to provide higher output voltage.
• Multiple units of power supplies of SAME model can be
connected in parallel (master / slave configuration) to
achieve higher output current.

4. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
4.1 . CONFIRMING THE SUPPLY RANGE
The unit must be used within its specified range. The rated input
voltage can be found on the rating table under the unit. Before
plugging into the AC supply outlet, check if the input rating conforms
to your local supply. For certain models, a voltage selector is
available, switch the voltage selector to the correct position before
use. Also, please check that you have the correct fuse inserted in the
fuse box below the AC input receptacle.
4.2. PRECAUTIONS FOR CONNECTION OF
OUTPUT TERMINALS
These units are a floating type power supply. For ordinary use, be
sure that the MASTER/SLAVE switch on the rear panel is set to
MASTER position and either the (+) output terminal or the (−)
terminal is connected to the GND terminal (chassis GND) via the
shorting bar.
Warning: For model 1622A and 1623A, the maximum output
voltage is up to 60Vdc. Touching the live metal part of output terminals
may be hazardous. User must avoid touching the live metal part of output
4.3. OPERATING ENVIROMENT
Be sure to use this unit within the specified ambient
temperature range listed in the specification table.
Because the unit is cooled by natural convection, do
not place objects on top to block the convection. Also
user must avoid placing the unit on or near any heat
emitting devices or use multiple units in stacked
configuration. For best results, use the unit in an
environment that has good cross-ventilation.
Altitude up to 2000M
