4. Operation with local controls
The unit delivers dangerously High Voltage!
Please follow the safety instructions in section 1
Please notice in particular Load connection in section 2.2
Select local operation If your power supply is equipped with one of the options “analog or digital
programming”, set switch (4) to LOCAL.
Save switch on First, set switch OUTPUT (2) to OFF.
Now you can switch on the POWER switch (1). The output will remain OFF.
The LED LOCAL (6) is on, indicating local operation.
Set value Display Shortly pressing SETVALUES (16) switches both displays to display the valid set
values.
With potentiometers Voltage (10) and Current (11) the needed set values can be
adjusted.
The displays begin to flash, indicating the set value display mode and switch back
after some seconds to actual value display.
Pressing the SETVALUES key longer than appr. 2 seconds, the displays stay in set
value display mode until the key is pressed again.
Adjustment Range The internal potentiometers provide an adjustment range of appr. 0,1% to 100% of
their nominal value.
Adjustment of voltage limit Turn the voltage potentiometer clockwise to its limit and switch to set value display.
With a screwdriver you can now adjust the maximum voltage on the potentiometer
(17). During this, the LED V-LIMIT is on and the limitation voltage is displayed on the
left display.
If you wish no voltage limitation, simply turn the potentiometer (17) clockwise to its
limit. LED V-LIMIT goes off.
Turn voltage potentiometer back to the desired set value and switch display mode to
actual value display (press key SETVALUES (16))
The voltage limitation is always active. It limits the maximum output voltage
also in operating mode “analog programming” or “digital programming”.
Output release After adjustment of the set values, the output voltage can be released with switch
OUTPUT (2).
The LED ON (3) indicates the released output.
Control mode indication Depending on the adjusted set values and connected load, the power supply will run
either in constant voltage CV (14) or constant current mode CC (15).
Save switch off The following switch off procedure is recommended:
First, inhibit the output with key OUTPUT (2). LED ON (3) goes off.
After the output voltage has reached a low and save value, you can switch off the
power supply with POWER (1).
This procedure gives you more safety, because the slow ramping down of the output
voltage can be monitored on the display.
At immediate switch off with POWER switch, there could be charged capacitors
remaining on dangerously high voltage that cannot be recognized, because display
turns dark immediately.
5. Maintenance
At units with fan the fan grids must be cleaned from time to time, depending on the
pollution.
Besides that the MCP series needs no maintenance.
