SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This chapter contains important safety
instructions that you must follow during
operation and storage. Read the following before
any operation to ensure your safety and to keep
the instrument in the best possible condition.

Safety Symbols

These safety symbols may appear in this manual or on the
instrument.

WARNING

Warning: Identifies conditions or practices that
could result in injury or loss of life.

CAUTION

Caution: Identifies conditions or practices that
could result in damage to the APS-7000E or to
other properties.

Do not dispose electronic equipment as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this
instrument was purchased.

Safety Guidelines

General
Guideline

CAUTION

 Do not place any heavy object on the APS-

7000E.

 Avoid severe impact or rough handling that

leads to damaging the APS-7000E.

 Do not discharge static electricity to the APS-

7000E.

 Use only mating connectors, not bare wires, for

the terminals.

 Do not block the cooling fan opening.

 Do not disassemble the APS-7000E unless you

are qualified.

(Measurement categories) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the
measurement categories and their requirements as follows. The
APS-7000E doesn’t fall under category II, III or IV.

 Measurement category IV is for measurement performed at the

source of low-voltage installation.

 Measurement category III is for measurement performed in the

building installation.

 Measurement category II is for measurement performed on the

circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation.

 0 is for measurements performed on circuits not directly

connected to Mains.

Power Supply

WARNING

 AC Input voltage range: 115/230 Vac ± 15%

 Frequency: 50/60Hz

 To avoid electrical shock connect the protective

grounding conductor of the AC power cord to
an earth ground.

Cleaning the APS­7000E

 Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.

 Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild

detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid.

 Do not use chemicals containing harsh material

such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.

Operation
Environment

 Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,

almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)

 Relative Humidity: 20%~ 80%, no condensation

 Altitude: < 2000m

 Temperature: 0°C to 40°C

(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the pollution degrees
and their requirements as follows. The APS-7000E falls under degree

2.

Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or

gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric
strength or surface resistivity”.

 Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive

pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.

 Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution

occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected.

 Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-

conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to
condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment
is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight,
precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature
nor humidity is controlled.

Storage
environment

 Location: Indoor

 Temperature: -10°C to 70°C

 Relative Humidity: ≤80%, no condensation

Disposal

Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this
instrument was purchased. Please make sure
discarded electrical waste is properly recycled to
reduce environmental impact.

Power cord for the United Kingdom

When using the instrument in the United Kingdom, make sure the
power cord meets the following safety instructions.

NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:

Green/ Yellow:

Earth

Blue:

Neutral

Brown:

Live (Phase)

As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with
the coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed
as follows:

The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to
the Earth terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol

or coloured Green/Green & Yellow.

The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.

The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the
terminal marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.

If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment
or contact the supplier.

This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and
approved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the
equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, a cable
of 0.75mm2 should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger
conductors would normally require 13A types, depending on the
connection method used.

Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is
engaged in a live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is
deemed hazardous, turn off the mains power and remove the cable,
any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be
immediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the above
standard.

Using the Rack Mount Kit

Background

The APS-7000E series has an optional Rack
Mount Kit (GW Instek part number: GRA-423).
The APS-7050E and APS-7100E are designed to
fit into a 2U rack height. Please see your
distributor for further rack mount details.

Rack mount
diagram

CAUTION

Ensure adequate ventilation is provided when
using the rack mount. Ensure that a gap of at least
50mm is given for the side air intakes. Failure to
do so may cause the instrument to overheat.

How to Use the Instrument

Background

The APS-7000E AC power supplies generally
use the scroll wheel, arrow keys and Enter keys
to edit numerical values or to select menu
options.

Menu navigation is performed using the menu
keys and function keys on the front panel.

OC Fold Settings

The over current fold back settings allow the
APS-7000E to work as either a constant voltage
source or a constant current source.

While the unit is sourcing less current than the
Irms current limit, the APS-7000E will act as a
constant voltage source. In this mode, the
voltage level will remain constant while the
current level may vary. This is the normal
operating mode.

When the current level reaches the Irms limit,
the APS-7000E will act as a constant current
source. In this mode the current is constant and
the voltage level varies. When the current
subsides below the Irms limit again, the unit
will again act as a constant voltage source.
When OC Fold is turned off, the APS-7000E will
act as a current limiting power source when the
Irms limit has been reached.

Firmware Update

Background

The APS-7000E firmware can be upgraded
using the USB A port on the front panel. See
your local distributor or the GW Instek website
for the latest firmware information.

Note

 Ensure the DUT is not connected.
 Ensure the output is off.

Steps

1. Insert a USB Flash Drive into the USB port on

front panel of the APS-7000E.

 The USB drive should include the “gw.sbt”

firmware file in a directory named

“gw”(USB:\gw:).

2. Press the Menu key. The Menu

setting will appear on the display.
