Switching DC Power Supply

1 Safety Summary

The following safety precautions apply to both operating and maintenance personnel and must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Before applying power, follow the installation instructions and become familiar with the operating instructions for this instrument.

GROUND THE INSTRUMENT

To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. This instrument is grounded through the ground conductor of the supplied, three-conductor ac power cable. The power cable must be plugged into an approved three-conductor electrical outlet. Do not alter the ground connection. Without the protective ground connection, all accessible conductive parts (including control knobs) can render an electric shock. The power jack and mating plug of the power cable meet IEC safety standards.

DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.

KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS

Instrument covers must not be removed by operating personnel. Component replacement and internal adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Disconnect the power cord before removing the instrument covers and replacing components. Under certain conditions, even with the power cable removed, dangerous voltages may exist. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.

DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE

Do not attempt any internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY THE INSTRUMENT

Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modifications to this instrument. Return the instrument to B&K Precision for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING and CAUTION statements, such as the following examples, denote a hazard and appear throughout this manual. Follow all instructions contained in these statements.

A WARNING statement calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or condition, which, if not followed correctly, could result in injury or death to personnel.

A CAUTION statement calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or condition, which, if not followed correctly, could result in damage to or destruction of parts or the entire product.

WARNING:

Do not alter the ground connection. Without the protective ground

 

connection, all accessible conductive parts (including control knobs)

 

can render an electric shock. The power jack and mating plug of the

 

power cable meet IEC safety standards.

WARNING:

To avoid electrical shock hazard, disconnect power cord before

 

removing covers. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

CAUTION:

Before connecting the line cord to the AC mains, check the rear panel

 

AC line voltage indicator. Applying a line voltage other than the

 

indicated voltage can destroy the AC line fuses. For continued fire

 

protection, replace fuses only with those of the specified voltage and

 

current ratings.

CAUTION:

This product uses components which can be damaged by electro-

static discharge (ESD). To avoid damage, be sure to follow proper

 

 

procedures for handling, storing and transporting parts and

 

subassemblies which contain ESD-sensitive components.

SAFETY SYMBOLS

This symbol on an instrument indicates that the user should refer to the operating instructions located in the manual.

2 Introduction

B&K Precision models 1900, 1901, and 1902 are laboratory grade switching mode DC power supplies with high current output in a small form factor and lightweight package. The 1900 Series provide different configurations of high output voltage or high output current and make setting voltage and current levels fast and precise through its dual action, course/fine rotary encoder control. In addition to its constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) modes, the high efficiency DC power supply offers a unique solution with its preset and analog remote control modes. Save up to three different presets of voltage and current values for quick recall. The analog remote control function allows the output power, voltage, and current to be adjusted without touching the front panel of the power supply. A remote sensing terminal (model 1900 only) is also available for use to compensate for voltage drop across load leads. These features make the 1900 Series suitable for a wide range of applications including production testing, telecommunications, R&D, service, and university labs.

Safety Precautions

Never short the remote sensing terminal.

This power supply is for indoor use only.

Do not expose the power supply to sun, high humidity, or dusty environments.

Never remove the metal cover of the power supply while AC power is connected.

Never touch the unit when your hands are wet.

Never block the ventilation slots and cooling fan air intake window.

Never attempt to repair the power supply. Incorrect re-assembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

Never use the power supply for a load requiring higher current than the designed value. Otherwise it may damage the power supply.

Place the power supply on a flat surface with sufficient clearance and dry, dust-free surroundings for ventilation.
