4 Operating Instructions
1. Setting the Output Voltage and Output Current
1. As per load requirement, calculate the voltage and max-
imum current limit to be set on output. Note: V=IR
2. Disconnect the load from output terminals.
3. For current limit adjustment, turn the current adjustment
knob counter-clockwise to get minimum current output.
4. Short the circuit between the positive and negative output terminals by the accessory leads.
5. Vary the current adjustment knob clockwise until the
current displays the required current limit. The CC LED
9
will be lit while adjusting the current limit. Remove the
accessory lead after current limit adjustment.
6. The voltage will be displayed again and the CV LED will
be lit.
7. Vary the voltage adjustment knob to get the desired output voltage on the display.
Depending on load condition, the power supply will work either in
CV or in CC mode. The automatic changeover is indicated by the
CV / CC LEDs.
2. Constant Voltage (CV) /Constant Current (CC) Mode
The working characteristic of this power supply is called a
constant voltage/constant current automatic crossover type. This
permits continuous transition from constant current to constant
voltage modes in response to the load change. The intersection
of constant voltage and constant current modes is called the
crossover point. Figure 4 shows the relationship between this
crossover point and the load.
For example, if the load is
such that the power supply
is operating in the constant
voltage mode, a regulated
output voltage is provided.
The output voltage remains
constant as the load
increases, up until the point
Figure 4. CC/CV Characteristics
where the preset current limit
is reached. At that point, the output current becomes constant
and the output voltage drops in proportion to further increases
in load. The crossover point is indicated by the front panel LED
indicators. The crossover point is reached when the CV indicator
goes off and the CC indicator comes on. Similarly, crossover from
the constant current to the constant voltage mode automatically
occurs from a decrease in load.

3. System Conguration
Models 1320 has two variable outputs, which can work
independently, in series tracking mode, or parallel mode by
toggling the function mode switch. Users can also connect
multiple units in series or parallel mode to increase their voltage
or current.
Independent Mode
a.
Ensure the function mode switch is in the “IND” position. Connect
the appropriate load between the positive and negative terminal.
b. Series Tracking Mode
In this mode, the negative output terminal of the master gets
connected internally to the positive output terminal of the slave.
1. Toggle the function
mode switch to “SER”. The green
LED will light up to indicate series tracking mode.
2.
Set output voltage with
the voltage adjustment knob of
the master. The display of the
master shows half the voltage
of the actual output available
Figure 5. Series Tracking Mode
across the positive output termi
-
nal of the master and the nega-
tive output terminal of the slave.
3.
Connect the load across the positive output terminal
of the master and the negative output terminal of the
slave.
c. Parallel Tracking Mode
In this mode, the positive output terminal of the master gets
connected internally to the positive output terminal of the slave
and the negative output terminal of the master gets connected to
11
the negative output terminal of the slave. The output voltage will
be the same as the master set value and the output current is
twice the set master output current.
1. Toggle the function
mode switch to “PAR”. The red
“Par” LED and the red “Par.CC”
LED of the slave output will light
up to indicate parallel tracking
mode.
2.
Turn both the slave voltage adjustment knob and current
adjustment knob clockwise to
maximum.
Figure 6. Parallel Tracking Mode
3. Set the output voltage
with master voltage adjustment knob. The output current will be twice that of the set master output current.
4. In parallel mode of operation, connect the appropriate
load between the positive and negative terminals of the
master (or between the positive and negative terminals
of the slave).
d. Multiple Units in Series Mode
For achieving higher voltage, two or more units can be connected
in series (CAUTION
: 240 V max). The output voltage of the
system will be the sum of all units. The output current will be the
same for all units.
1.
Switch all units to “SER” mode and adjust each to the
same output voltages.
2. Connect the negative of the slave output terminal of unit
1 to the positive of the master output terminal of unit 2.
3. Connect the load between the positive of the master
terminal of unit 1 and the negative of the slave terminal
of unit 2.

Figure 7. Multiple Units in Series
e. Multiple Units in Parallel Mode
Two or more units can be connected in parallel to obtain a higher
current output (CAUTION: 24 A max). The output current of the
system will be the sum of all units. The output voltage of the
system will be the same for all units.
Figure 8. Multiple Units in Parallel

1. Switch all units to “PAR” mode.
CAUTION. Adjust all units to the same output voltages.
2.
3.
Make the parallel connection of the positive and the
negative terminals of the master and slave outputs for
all units.
4. Connect the load between the positive and negative of
the master on the last unit.
f. Fixed 5V/3A Output
This is the standard 5V/ 3A power output provided for supplying
the power to TTL logic circuits. When the load exceeds 3A, the
red OVERLOAD LED will light up.
The output voltage will be
lowered and the power supply will switch to CC mode.
