SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
AC Input voltage range:
100 ~ 240 Vac
Frequency: 47 ~ 63 Hz
To avoid electrical shock connect the protective
grounding conductor of the AC power cord to
an earth ground.
The power switch that is included in the
instrument is not considered a disconnecting
device.
The power cord set is used as the disconnecting
device and shall remain readily operable.
Do not position the equipment so that it is
difficult to operate the disconnecting device.
Do not replace the power supply cord with an
improperly rated cord. A certified power supply
cord should not lighter than light PVC sheathed
flexible cord according to IEC 60227,
designation H05VV-F, and be rated for at least
3G 0.75 mm² (for rated current up to 10 A) or 3G
1.0mm² (for rated current over 10 A up to 16 A)
wire or larger, and the length of the cord that
does not exceed 2 m must be used.
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.
Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild
detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid.

ASR-2000 Series User Manual
(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the pollution degrees
and their requirements as follows. The ASR-2000 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.
Location: Indoor
Temperature: -10°C to 70°C
Relative Humidity: ≤90%, no condensation
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.

This alarm is activated and output will be
disabled immediately when output overvoltage
or overcurrent is detected.

disabled immediately when internal power
source abnormality is detected. Beware that all
operations will be disabled except for the power
shutdown operation if an error occurs.
Alarms
The ASR-2000 series have a number of protection features. When
one of the protection alarms is tripped, the ALM icon on the
display will be lit and the type of alarm that has been tripped will
be shown on the display. When an alarm has been tripped the
output will be automatically turned off. For details on how to clear
an alarm or to set the protection modes, please see page 187.

Control
This alarm is activated and output will be
disabled immediately when internal control
abnormality is detected. Beware that all
operations will be disabled except for the power
shutdown operation if an error occurs.
Voltage limit protection prevents a high voltage
from damaging the DUT. This alarm can be set
by the user.

can be set by the user.
Over current protection prevents high current
from damaging the DUT. This alarm can be set
by the user.
Over temperature protection for power stage
board. OTP is a hardware protection function.
Only when the unit has cooled can the over
temperature protection alarms be cleared.
Sense alarm. This alarm will detect if the sense
wires have been connected to the wrong
polarity.
AC failure. This alarm function is activated
when a low AC input is detected.
Fan failure. This alarm function is activated
when the fan RPMs drop to an abnormally low
level.
28

GETTING STARTED
When the power supply switch is first turned
on, an inrush current is generated. Ensure there
is enough power available for the power supply
when first turned on, especially if a number of
units are turned on at the same time.
When the power supply connects to a capacitive
load, e.g., capacitor, the load is being charged
consecutively and the larger the voltage change,
the more the current grow. Also, the overshoot will
be possibly generated within the currents output,
therefore leading to output turned off thanks to
overcurrent protection from the power supply.
It is suggested to lower down the set voltage
output from power supply so that the voltage of
capacitive load decreases per certain unit time. In
addition, a block diode is necessary to keep
current from flowing back to the output terminal
of power supply. Refer to the figure below where a
block diode connects with the capacitive load in
series to efficiently prevent current from flowing
back to the power supply.

Considerations
The following situations should be taken into consideration when
using the power supply.
29

ASR-2000 Series User Manual
When the power supply connects to an inductive
load, e.g., inductor, which generates a back EMF
(Electromotive Force) when output current is
accidentally turned off, a backflow diode is
necessary for absorbing the back EMF, which may
cause irreversible damage to the power supply.
Refer to the following figure where a backflow diode
connects with the inductive load in parallel to
effectively absorb the possible back EMF.

Ensure the connected diode meets the following
specifications between the load, either capacitor or
inductor, and the ASR-2000 series power supplies.
