GPD-X303S Series User Manual
(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2001 specifies the pollution degrees and their requirements as follows. The GPD-X303S series 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. |

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. |

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using the GPD-2303S/GPD-3303S/GPD-4303S series 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 colours 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 the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured Green or 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, 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 moulded mains connector that requires removal /replacement must be destroyed by removal of any fuse & fuse carrier and disposed of immediately, as a plug with bared wires is hazardous if a engaged in live socket. Any re-wiring must be carried out in accordance with the information detailed on this label.

OVERVIEW
|
This chapter describes the GPD-2303S/GPD- |
|
3303S/GPD-4303S series in a nutshell, including |
|
its main features and front / rear panel |
|
introduction. After going through the overview, |
|
follow the Setup chapter (page23) to properly |
|
power up and set operation environment. |
Introduction |
|
Overview |
The GPD-X303S regulated DC power supply series |
|
are light weight, adjustable, multifunctional work |
|
stations. The GPD-2303S has a 2 independent |
|
adjustable voltage outputs. The GPD-3303S three |
|
independent outputs: two with adjustable voltage |
|
levels and one with fixed level selectable from |
2.5V, 3.3V and 5V. The GPD-4303S has four independent voltage outputs that are all fully adjustable. The GPD-X303S series can be used for logic circuits where various output voltage or current are needed, and for tracking mode definition systems where plus and minus voltages with insignificant error are required.
10
OVERVIEW
Independent / The three output modes of GPD-X303S series, Tracking Series / independent, tracking series, and tracking parallel, Tracking Parallel can be selected through pressing the TRACKING
key on the front panel. In the independent mode, the output voltage and current of each channel are controlled separately. The isolation degree, from output terminal to chassis or from output terminal to output terminal, is 500V. In the tracking modes, both the CH1 and CH2 outputs are automatically connected in series or parallel; no need to connect output leads. In the series mode, the output voltage is doubled; in the parallel mode, the output current is doubled.
Constant Voltage/ Each output channel is completely transistorized Constant Current and well-regulated, and works in constant voltage
(CV) or constant current (CC) mode. Even at the maximum output current, a fully rated, continuously adjustable output voltage is provided. For a big load, the power supply can be used as a CV source; while for a small load, a CC source. When in the CV mode (independent or tracking mode), output current (overload or short circuit) can be controlled via the front panel. When in the CC mode (independent mode only), the maximum (ceiling) output voltage can be controlled via the front panel. The power supply will automatically cross over from CV to CC operation when the output current reaches the target value. The power supply will automatically cross over from CC to CV when the output voltage reaches the target value. For more details about CV/CC mode operation, see page22.
Automatic |
The front panel display (CH1, CH2) shows the |
tracking mode |
output voltage or current. When operating in the |
|
tracking mode, the power supply will |
|
automatically connect to the autotracking mode. |

GPD-X303S Series User Manual
Dynamic load When used in audio production lines, the power supply can provide a continuous or dynamic load using a jumper connector (JP101/JP401). When the jumper connectors are connected to the “ON” position (shorted), a stable DC current power will be provided for audio power amplifiers.

OVERVIEW
Auxiliary Rectifier The auxiliary rectifiers D1011~ D1014 provide bias voltage filtered by the capacitors C102 and C103, for the pre-regulators U101 and U102. They provide a regulated voltage for other modules.
Main Rectifier |
The main rectifier is a full wave bridge rectifier. It |
|
provides the power after the rectifier is filtered by |
|
the capacitor C101, and then regulated via a series- |
|
wound regulator, which is finally delivered to the |
|
output terminal. |
Current Limiter |
U104 acts as a current limiter. When the current is |
|
over predetermined rating, U104 is activated and |
|
decreases the current. U208 provides a reference |
|
voltage. U206 is an inverter amplifier. U103 is a |
|
comparator amplifier which compares the |
|
reference voltage to the feedback voltage, and then |
|
delivers it to Q102, which then calibrates the |
|
output voltage. |
Overload |
When the unit is overloaded, Q107 activates to |
|
control the current magnitude of Q102, to limit the |
|
output current. The relay control circuit controls |
|
the power dissipation in the series-wound |
|
regulated circuit. |
