INTRODUCTION
POWER SUPPLY : MODEL1310
The 1310 Power Supply is a versatile triple-output unit which can
be used in both digital and analog circuit applications. It consists
of three independent power supplies: a foxed 5 volt supply rated at
1.0 amps maximum, and two variable 1.3 to 20 volt supplies each
rated at 250 milliamps maximum. The three digit display allows the
voltage of the variable supplies to be quickly and accurately set, and
current flow can be monitored with 1 milliamp resolution.
All three supplies are completely isolated from each other, and from
earth ground. A circuit or piece of equipment connected to any one
of the supplies may be floated to DC level different from the other
two supplies. In addition, any two - or all three - supplies may be
connected to the chassis and earth ground is provided. And, of
course, each supply is protected against short circuit and thermal
overloads.
The 1310 is an excellent general purpose power supply for
engineering lab applications, bread-boarding, and prototyping.
The triple-output voltages make it ideal for working with all
disciplines, from microcomputer components to op-amps. Priced
economically, the 1310 is the perfect choice for production lines,
service shops, hobbyists, and whenever a compact, reliable DC
power supply is needed.

POWER switch; display will light to indicate the power is applied.
Turn both the A & B voltage controls fully counter-clockwise to their
minimum settings. Set the A / B meter switch to the A position. Set
the V / A meter switch to the V setting. Slowly increase the A supply
output voltage by rotating the A supply voltage control clockwise.
The display should show an increase from 1.3 volts ( or less ) at the
minimum setting to 20.0 volts ( or more ) at the maximum setting.
Check the variable supply B by setting the A / B meter switch to B and
rotating the B supply voltage control clockwise. Again the display
should show an increase from 1.3 volts to 20.0 volts.
The fixed 5 volt supply may be checked by attaching an external
voltmeter to the 5 V output terminals. The voltmeter should read
between 4.8 and 5.2 volts.

3.3 PRECAUTIONS :
The Power supply is ideally suited to virtually any type of IC
breadboarding from TTL, CMOS, and ECL to op-amps, audio and
video amps, phase-locked loops, and microprocessor circuitry.
However, certain normal breadboarding precautions should be
taken to avoid ground loops and inadvertent loading. Observance
of correct load polarity is also important, since most ICs may be
damaged by improper power supply connections.
3.4 Polarity :
Observe proper polarity when connecting the power supplies to the
load, especially if the load is polarity sensitive and does not have
reverse polarity protection.
3.5 Ground Loops :
A ground loop is voltage drop on a ground bus caused by a power
stage output entering the ground bus some distance away from the
power supply ground binding post.
This small voltage drop, though only millivolts or microvolts, is part
of the output load. If a preamplifier input or circuit ground is
connected to a portion of this ground bus, feedback and oscillation
may occur. To prevent this, all output stages should be positioned
as close as possible to the ground terminal, with preamps being
father awat. Many audio ICs have separate input and output grounds
to prevent ground loops.
Even though the power supplies are tightly regulated, a short length
of power bus can prevent enough inductance to cause linear IC
oscillation at high frequencies. For this reason, effective bypass
capacitors are needed to bypass the power busses as possible to
the power supply pins of the IC. Disc ceramics ( 0.1µF ) work well
and should be placed across as may ICs as possible. Do not use
electrolytic or paper capacitors because they have high inductances
and cease to act as bypasses above one or two megahertz.
Bypassing is required with digital ICs also; problems such as
inability to reset or to clear and false triggering can occur if bypass
capacitors are not installed.
3.6 Ventillation :
The heat generated in the power supply is convected through the
ventilation slots in the bottom and top of the case. For best ventilation,
always leave a few inches of space around the unit. Never allow any
object to block the ventilation holes or reduce the clearance provided
by the feet on the bottom of the case.
SECTION - 6
MAINTENANCE AND CALIBRATION
6.1 FUSE REPLACEMENT :
The 1310 uses a type 3AG, ½A ( ¼A for 230 volt units ), 250 volt slow
acting power fuse. If replacement becomes necessary, follow this
procedure :
a. Disconnect all cables and connections to the 1310.
b. Unplug the power cord at the AC outlet.
c. Unscrew the fuse holder cap from teh fuse holder ( found on the rear
panel ).
d. Remove the defective fuse and replace it with one of an identical type
and rating.
e. Reinstall the fuse holder cap, making sure that it is tightened securely.
If any additional maintenance or repair is require, it is recommended
that the unit be returned to Global Specialties for service ( see FACTORY
SERVICE and REPAIR ).
6.2 CALIBRATION :
The 1310 has been designed to provide years of trouble-free service,
but to maintain the accuracy of the digital display the unit should be
returned to the factory on an annual basis, or whenever the accuracy of
the display is in question. If this is not possible or practical, the following
calibration can be performed in the field :
6.2.1 Equipment Required :
( 1 ) Digital multimeter, 3½ digits or greater, with an accuracy of 0.25% or
better.
( 2 ) 80 Ohms, 5 Watt ( or greater ) resistor.
WA RNIN G : During the course of this procedure, power will be applied
and potentially lethal voltages will be present. Exercise
extreme caution during all phases of the calibration, and
particularly when adjustments are being made.
6.2.2 Procedure :
1 ) Open the case of the 3310, following the procedure outlined under the
CASE DISASSEMBLY section of this manual.
2 ) Apply power to the 3310, allowing at least 15 minutes for warm-up.
3 ) Connect the digital multimeter to pins 35 and 36 of U5' with the positive
lead on pin 35 and the negative lead on pin 35.

CASE DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY
WARNING
Potentially lethal AC power is present whenever the line cord is plugged
into the AC outlet, even when the power switch is OFF. Always
disconnect the power cord when opening the case. Avoid touching the
fuse post on the inside of the unit.
Should access to the inside of the unit be required, proceed a follows:
1. Remove the line cord from the AC outlet before disassembly.
2. To disassemble the case, remove the screws that secure the cover to
the chassis and lift the cover off.
3. To reassemble the case, place the cover on the chassis, line up the
screw holes, and replace the screws.
MAINTENANCE AND RECALIBRATION
3.7 OPERATION :
Proper operation of most circuitry depends on correct voltage. It is
recommended that the variable supplies be set to the required
voltage levels with their loads disconnected. When the desired
voltage is set ( using the A or B voltage control ), turn the AC power
off, connect each load to the proper supply, and turn the AC power
on.
Output voltage may be continuously monitored by setting the V / A
meter switch to the V position, setting the A / B switch to the desired
supply position, and reading the output voltage on the digital
display, Output current may be read by simply changing the V / A
switch from the V to the A position.
3.8 GROUNDING
All three power supplies are isolated and may be operated without
any reference to earth ground. If an earth reference is required, one
terminal ( either + or - ) from any one, two, or all three supplies may
be connected to the earth ground binding post.
3.9 CURRENT LIMITING :
Each power supply is protected against output short circuit. If any
output is short-circuited, the voltage drops to zero and the current
is limited to a safe value.
3.10 COMBINING POWER SUPPLY :
Each of the three supplies may be used independently, or in a
combination of any two or all three. These combinations, outlined
in figure 2 and described below, can yield increased voltage
ranges, increased current capability, or a split plus and minus
supply such as frequently used in analog circuitry.
ADJUSTMENTS
All circutry is factory-calibrated. No user adjustments are required.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
Remove the line cord from the AC outlet before changing fuses. Using a
screwdriver, remove the fuse holder cap. Replace the fuse with another fuse
of identical type and current rating. Replace the fuse holder cap.

Figure 3 : 2.6 to 40 Volt Series Connection
NOTE : When the variable supplies are connected in series, each
supply should be set to one-half the desired combined
voltage. This will assure even power distribution between
the supplies. For example, to achieve an output voltage of 35
volts, set each variable supply to 17.5 volts.
The highest output voltage may be realized by connecting the two
variable supplies in series with the fixed 5V supply, giving a range
of 7.6 to 45 volts with a maximum current of 250 milliamps ( see
figure 4 ). Again, the total voltage may be determined by adding the
individual output voltage, and the current may be monitored from the
output of either variable supply.

The A / D converter is calibrated for a full scale range of 200mV. The
current and voltage outputs of the variable supplies are therefore scaled
to accommodate this range, and the signals are routed to the A / D
converter through switches S2 ( the A / B supply switch ) and S3 (the V
/ A select switch). The yields a display of 000 - 250 to represent a
current flow from the variable supplies of 0 to 250 milliamps, and a
display of 013 - 200 to represent an output voltage of 1.3 to 20.0 volts.
When in the voltage range, the proper decimal point on the LED display
is illuminated by the action of switch S3 to correctly indicate the voltage.
3.12 SPLIT SUPPLY :
A split supply may be arranged by connecting the positive ( + )
terminal of one supply to the negative ( - ) terminal of any other
supply ( see figure 5 ). These connected terminals are then used
as circuit ground ( also called circuit common ). This arrangement
is
is often used with op-amps which required a +V and -V supply.
Figure 5 : Split Supply "Connection
CAUTION : The power supplies should not be connected in any
manner which causes electron current to flow out of a
positive ( + ) terminal or into a negative ( - ) terminal. This
would be a series subtraction configuration, and could
damage the 1310.

3.13 PARALLEL CONNECTION :
The variable supplies may be connected in parallel to increase
the available load current, giving an output of 1.3 to 20 volts at up
to 500 milliamps. However, current-equalizing resistors must be
used ( see figure 6 )
Figure 6 : Parallel Connection

For best results, set the variable supplies to the desired voltage
before any connections are made. If the current equalizing resistors
are not well matched, current balance may be achieved by slightly
unbalancing the supplies while measuring the current output of
each supply. The voltage applied to the load must be moitored with
an external meter, since the current balancing resistors will introduce
a voltage drop, and will also adversely affect voltage regulation. For
these reasons, it is best to keep the value of the current balancing
resistors as low as possible. However, the lower value, the more
difficult it will be to balance the supplies. Each circuit powered this
way will required its own tradeoffs.
