SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies pollution degrees and their requirements as follows. The GPP 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 nonconductive 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. |

Power cord for the United Kingdom
When using the power supply 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:
Blue:
Brown:
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.

Introduction |
|
|
|
Overview |
The GPP series regulated DC power supply |
|
|
|
|
series are light weight, adjustable, |
|
|
|
multifunctional work stations. The GPP-1326 |
|
|
|
has a 1 independent adjustable voltage outputs |
|
|
|
with sense.The GPP-2323 has a 2 independent |
|
|
|
adjustable voltage outputs. The GPP-3323 three |
|
|
|
independent outputs: two with adjustable |
|
|
|
voltage levels and one with fixed level |
|
|
|
selectable from 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V. The |
|
|
|
GPP-4323 has four independent voltage |
|
|
|
outputs that are all fully adjustable. |
|
|
|
The GPP 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. |
|
Independent / |
The three output modes of GPP series, |
|
|
Tracking Series / |
independent, tracking series, and tracking |
|
|
Tracking Parallel |
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. |

OVERVIEW |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Load Mode |
The GPP series models have additional Load |
|
|
|
|
function on both CH1 & CH2 with 3 modes: |
|
|
|
CV (Constanct Voltage), CC (Constant Current) |
|
|
|
and CR (Constant Resistance), all of which can |
|
|
|
be selected through the function keys on the |
|
|
|
front panel. Voltage, current and resistance can |
|
|
|
be well regulated in each mode, respectively. |
|
|
|
|
|
Constant Voltage/ |
Each output channel is completely |
|
|
Constant Current |
transistorized 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 page 26. |
|
|
|
|
|
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. |

Constant Voltage/Constant Current
Crossover Characteristics
Background |
The unit will switch automatically between |
|
constant voltage and constant current |
|
according to changes in the load. |
CV mode |
When the load current is less than the current |
|
setting, the unit operates in constant voltage |
|
mode, changing the current level according to |
|
the load but maintaining the set voltage level |
|
until the current reaches the set current level. |
|
The status indicator will show CV on the LCD |
|
when in CV mode. |
Constant Current When the output current reaches the set Mode current level, the unit switches operation to
constant current mode. The status indicator will show CC on the LCD display. In CC mode, the current level is maintained and the voltage level is limited to less than the set voltage level to limit the output power from an overload. When the current drops below the set current level, the unit will revert back to CV mode.

Start Up
Checking the AC Before the power is turned Voltage on, confirm that the input
power supply meets the following conditions: 100V/120V/220V/230V ±10% 50/60Hz
Connecting the AC power cord
The fuse is a slow-blow fuse. 3.15A 220V/230V 6.30A 100V/120V
Confirm that the fuse is of the correct type and rating before connecting the power cord.

Use the GTL-104A cables for the front panel source connections.
USB Type A only
(Greater than 4A)
Use the GTL-105A cables for the GPP-1326 sense connections. Or connect + to S+, - to S- terminal with a short bar.
For safety considerations, please keep in mind that the wiring must be equivalent to the wiring on the front terminals.
Wire Gauge |
Load wires must have enough current capacity |
|
|
to minimize cable loss and load line impedance. |
|
|
Voltage drop across a wire should not excess |
|
|
0.5V. The following list is the wire current |
