Safety Summary
The follow ing safety pre cautions apply t o both operating and maintenance personnel and must
be followed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument.
Before applying power to this instrument:
• Read and understand the safety and operation a l inform ation in this manual.
• Apply all the listed safety precautions.
• Verify that the voltage selector at the line power cord input is set to the correct l in e
voltage. Operating the instrument at an incorrect line voltage will void the warranty.
• Make all connections to the instrument before applying power.
• Do not operate the instrument in ways not specified by this manual or by B&K Precision.
Failure to comply with these precautions or with warnings elsewhere in this manual violates the
safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. B&K Precision
assumes no liability for a customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
Category rating
The IEC 61010 standard defines safety category ratings that specify the amount of electrical
energy available and the voltage impulses that may occur on electrical conductors associated
with these category ratings. The category rating is a Roman numeral of I, II, III, or IV. This rating
is also accompanied by a maximum voltage of the circuit to be tested, which defines the voltage
impulses expected and required insulation clearances. These categories are:
Category I (CAT I): Measurement instruments whose me a s ure m ent i nputs are not intended to
be connected to the mains supply. The voltages in the environment are typically derived from a
limited-energy transforme r or a battery.
Category II (CAT II): Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are meant to be
connected to the mains supply at a standard wall outlet or similar sources. Example
measurement environments are portable tools and household appliances.
Category III (CAT III): Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are meant to be
connected to the mains installation of a building. Examples are measurements inside a
building's circuit breaker panel or the wiring of permanently-installed motors.
Category IV (CAT IV): Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are meant to be
connected to the primary power entering a building or other outdoor wiring.
Do not use this instrument in an electrical environment with a higher category rating than what
ii
is specified in this manual for this instrument.
You must ensure that each accessory you use with this instrument has a category rating equal to
or higher than the instrument's category rating to maintain the instrument's category rating.
Failure to do so will lower the category rating of the measuring system.
Electrical Power
This instrument is intended to be powered from a CATEGORY II mains power environment. The
mains power should be 120 V RMS or 240 V RMS. Use only the power cord supplied with the
instrument and ensure it is appropriate for your country of use.
Ground the Instrument
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an
electrical safety ground. This instrument is grounded through the ground conductor of the
supplied, thr ee-conductor AC line power cable. The power cable must be plugged into an
approv ed three-conductor electrical outlet. The power jack and mating plug of the power cable
meet IEC safety standards.
Do not alter or defeat the ground connection. Without the safety ground connection, all
accessible conductive parts (including control knobs) may provide an electric shock. Failure to
use a properly-grounded approved outlet and the recommended three-conductor
AC line power
cable may result in injury or death.
Unless otherwise stated, a ground connection on the instrument's front or rear panel is for a
reference of potential only and is not to be used as a safety ground.
Do not operate in an explosive or flammable atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or vapors, fumes, or fine lydivided particulates.
The instrument is designed to be used in o ffice-type indoor environments. Do not operate the
instrument
• In the presence of noxious, corrosive, or flammable fumes, gases, vapors, chemicals, or
finely-divided partic ul ates.
• In relative humidity conditions outside the instrument's specifications.
• In environments where there is a danger of any liquid being spilled on the instrument or
iii
where any liquid can condense on the instrum ent.
• In air temperatures exceeding the specified operating temperatures.
• In atmospheric pressures outside the specified altitude limits or where the surrounding
gas is not air.
• In environments with restricted cooling air flow, even if the air temperatures are within
specifications.
• In direct sunlight.
This instrument is intended to be used in an indoor pollution degree 2 environment. The
operati ng t e mperature range is 0 °C to 40 °C and the operating humidity range is up to 80%
relative humidity with no condensation allowed.
Measurements made by this instrument may be outside specifications if the instrument is used
in non-office-type environments. Such environments may include rapid temperature or
humidity changes, sunlight, vibration and/or mechanical shocks, acoustic noise, electrical noise,
strong electric fields, or strong magnetic fiel ds .
Do not operate instrument if damaged
If the instrument is damaged, appears to be damaged, or if any liquid, chemical, or other
material gets on or inside the instrument, remove the instrument's power cord, remove the
instrument from service, l abe l i t as not to be operated, and return the instrument to B&K
Precision for repair. Notify B&K Precision of the nature of any contamination of the instrument.

component in a life-support device or system.
Do not touch live circuits
Instrument covers must not be removed by operating personnel. Component replacement and
internal adjustments must be made by qua l ified service-trained maintenance personnel who
are aware of the hazards involved when the instrument's covers and shields are removed.
Under certain conditions, even with the power cord removed, dangerous voltages may exist
iv
when the covers are removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect the power cord from the
instrument, disconnect all other connections (for example, test leads, computer interface
cables, etc.), discharge all circuits, and verify there are no hazardous voltages present on any
conductors by measurements with a properly-operating voltage-sensing device before touchi ng
any internal parts. Verify the voltage-sensing device is working properly before and after making
the measurement s by testing with known-operating voltage sources and test for both DC and AC
voltages. Do not attempt any service or adjustment unless another person capable of rendering
first aid and resuscitation is present.
Do not insert any object into an instrument's ventilation openings or other openings.
Hazardous voltages may be present in unexpected locations in circuitry being tested when a
fault condition in the circuit exists.

test leads connected to your device under test (DUT), thus providing more accurate output
voltage. The power supply is initially set up to local sense mode by default. Refer to t he
following sections for details of local and remote sense setup.
Local Sense
By default, the power supply is set up for local sense with jumpers installed. This is determined

7 Troubleshooting Guide
Below are some frequently asked questions and answers. Please check if any apply to your
power supply before contacting B&K Precision.
General
Q: I cannot power up the power supply.
- Check that the power cord is securely connected to the AC input and there is live power
from your electrical AC outlet.
- Verify that the AC power coming from the mains contains the correct voltage. The power
supply can accept a specific range of AC input voltages. Refer to section 2.1.
Q: How do I set up the supply to run in const a nt current mode?
- The supply is a CV/CC power supply that automatically crosses over from CV to CC upon a
load, which draws current at the current limit (ISET). Therefore, it is dependent on the
load. For example, if ISET is configured as 1 A, the load must draw 1 A before the supply
will go into CC mode.
Q: How come my display voltage is lower than the voltage I set?
- This is often because of the resistances from the test leads/wires connecte d between the
supply and the DUT (device under tes t) , which causes a drop in voltage. To minimize this
drop, use re mote sense terminals to compensate and output a more accurate voltage to
the DUT.
Q: I cannot set voltage at the maximum rating.
- This may be that the set voltage is outside of the voltage maxim um limit. Refer to the
MaxVolt section of the manual and set this value above the voltage that is being entered.
This can also be set to the limit of the power supplies range, which in effect turns off the
MaxVolt function.
Remote Control
Q: I am trying to send the commands over RS232, but it does not seem to respond.
- Check that you are sending ASCII strings that are terminated with a CR (carriage return) and
LF (linefeed) character.
- For RS-232, check that the baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bit, and flow control settings
match with the settings configured on both the software interfac e and the power supply
