Cleaning the
GPD-3303 series
Operation
Environment
• To ensure fire protection, replace the fuse only
with the specified type and rating.
• Disconnect the power cord before fuse
replacement.
• Make sure the cause of fuse blowout is fixed
before fuse replacement.
• 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 or cleaners containing
harsh products such as benzene, toluene, xylene,
and acetone.
• Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,
almost non-conductive pollution (note below)
• Relative Humidity: < 80%
• Altitude: < 2000m
• Temperature: 0°C to 40°C
(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2001 specifies the pollution degrees
and their requirements as follows. The GPD-3303 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.

Power cord for the United Kingdom
When using the GPD-3303 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
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 0.75mm
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.

Introduction
Overview
Independent /
Trac ki ng S er ie s /
Tracking Parallel
GPD-3303, the regulated DC power supply series,
are light weight, adjustable, multifunctional work
stations. They have three independent outputs:
two with adjustable voltage level and one with
fixed level selectable from 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V. The
GPD-3303 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.
The three output modes of GPD-3303 series,
independent, tracking series, and 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 300V. 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.

matic

tracking mode
Dynamic load
Except for CH3, each output channel is completely
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 page18.
The front panel display (CH1, CH2) shows the
output voltage or current. When operating in the
tracking mode, the power supply will
automatically connect to the auto- tracking mode.
When used in audio production lines, the power
supply will provide a continuous or dynamic load
connector. When the connectors are connected to
the position “ON”, a stable DC current power will
be provided for audio power amplifiers.

Rectifier
Main Rectifier
Current Limiter
Overload
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.
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 serieswound regulator, which is finally delivered to the
output terminal.
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 the inverter amplifier. U103 is a
comparator amplifier which compares reference
voltage and feedback voltage, and then delivers to
Q103, Q104, which then calibrates the output
voltage.
When the unit is overloaded, Q107 activates to
control the current magnitude of Q104, to limit the
output current. The relay control circuit controls
the power dissipation in the series-wound
regulated circuit.
