panel.
4. Connect one end of the power cable’s round terminal to the AC power input
terminal on the instrument’s rear panel.
a. You only need to connect the red, green and yellow live wires to the ter-
minals on the rear panel, which are not required to correspond to L1, L2
and L3 terminals one by one.
b. The yellow-green wire is grounding wire, which is connected to the pro-
tective grounding terminal (PE).
5. Mount the protective cover back to its original position.
6. Connect the other end of the power cable to the required AC distribution
box.
ООО "Техэнком" Контрольно-измерительные приборы и оборудование www.tehencom.com
•Before connecting test cables, be sure to switch off the instrument.
Power switch is in Off position, otherwise touching the output terminals
on the rear panel may result in personal injury or death due to electric
shock.
•To avoid electrical shock, before testing, please make sure the rating val-
ues of the testing cables, and do not measure the current that higher
than the rating value. All test cables shall be capable of withstanding the
maximum short circuit current of the instrument without causing
overheat.
•If several loads are provided, each pair of load wires shall safely with-
stand the rated short circuit output current of the power supply under full
load.
•Do not short the battery when connecting or disconnecting the battery
testing circuit. Short circuit may cause severe accident.
•Because the instrument can be used to sink current, hazardous voltages
from an external energy source such as a battery may be present on the
output terminals even with the instrument power off. Provision must be
made to disconnect the external energy source before touching the output or sense terminals.
•Always use test cables provided by ITECH to connect the equipment. If
test cables from other factories are used, please confirm the maximum
current that the test cables can withstand.
•During wiring, check that the positive and negative poles of the test ca-
bles are properly and tightly connected. Do not connect the positive pole
and disconnect the negative pole.
•Ensure that the output terminals are either insulated or covered using
the safety covers provided, so that no accidental contact with lethal voltages can occur.
Specification for Test Cables
Test cables are not standard accessories for the instrument. Please select op-
tional red and black test cables for individual sales based on the maximum current value. For specifications of test cables and maximum current values, refer
to A.1 Appendix→Specifications of Red and Black Test Lines.
Connecting the DUT (Local Measurement)
The instrument supports two kinds of wiring methods with the DUT: local measurement and remote measurement (SENSE). The default test mode is local
measurement.
The connection diagram and steps of local measurement are as follows:
ООО "Техэнком" Контрольно-измерительные приборы и оборудование www.tehencom.com
1. Confirm that the power switch is in the OFF position and verify that there is
no dangerous voltage on the connection terminals.
2. Remove the output terminals cover of the power supply.
3. Loosen the screws of the output terminals and connect the red and black
test cables to the output terminals. Re-tighten the screws.
When maximum current that one test cable can withstand fails to meet the
rated current, use multiple pieces of red and black test cables. For example,
the maximum current is 1,200A, then 4 pieces of 360A red and black cables
are required.
4. Thread the red and black test cables through the output terminals cover of
the power supply and install the cover.
5. (Optional) According to the actual situation of DUT, connect the grounding
terminal on the rear panel of the instrument to the DUT to ensure the safe
grounding.
For the location information, see 2.3 Rear Panel Introduction.
6. Connect the other end of the red and black cables to the DUT. The positive
and negative poles must be properly connected and fastened when wiring.
Connecting the DUT (Remote Sensing)
Remote measurement is available for the following scenarios:
When the DUT consumes large current or the wires are too long, there is a voltage drop on the wires between DUT and output terminals of the power supply.
To maximize measurement accuracy, the power supply provides the remote
measurement terminals VS+ and VS- on the rear panel, which can be used to
measure the terminal voltage of the DUT.
When the power supply is used for battery testing in actual applications, the
voltage drop of the wire will lead to voltage inconsistency of both ends and inconsistency of the cutoff voltage of power supply and the actual voltage of bat-
tery, resulting in inaccurate measurement.
The connection diagram and steps of remote measurement are as follows:
ООО "Техэнком" Контрольно-измерительные приборы и оборудование www.tehencom.com
1. Confirm that the power switch is in the OFF position and verify that there is
no dangerous voltage on the connection terminals.
2. Refer to the wiring diagram and connect the Vs+ and Vs- with armored
twisted-pair cables.
To ensure the stability of the system, use armored twisted-pair cables between the remote sense terminals and the DUT. Pay attention to the positive and negative poles when wiring, otherwise it will damage the
instrument.
3. Remove the output terminals cover of the power supply.
4. Loosen the screws of the output terminals and connect the red and black
test cables to the output terminals. Re-tighten the screws.
When maximum current that one test cable can withstand fails to meet the
rated current, use multiple pieces of red and black test cables. For example,
the maximum current is 1,200A, then 4 pieces of 360A red and black cables
are required.
5. Thread the red and black test cables through the output terminals cover of
the power supply and install the cover.
6. (Optional) According to the actual situation of DUT, connect the grounding
terminal on the rear panel of the instrument to the DUT to ensure the safe
grounding.
For the location information, see 2.3 Rear Panel Introduction.
7. Connect the other end of the remote sense cables to the DUT.
8. Connect the other end of the red and black cables to the DUT. The positive
and negative poles must be properly connected and fastened when wiring.
9. Power on the instrument and turn on the Sense function of the instrument.
For details, see 3.6.3 Sense Function (Sense).
Never touch cables or connections immediately after turning off the instrument at the end of the test. Lethal voltages may remain at the output terminals after turn-off. Verify that there is no dangerous voltage
on the output or sense terminals before touching them.

3.6.7 Digital I/O Function (Digital Port)
Basic Operation
The IT6000C series power supply supports digital I/O function. The user can
realize logic control over high and low level input or output by related configurations in the system menu, namely general digital signal I/O function. In addition
to general digital I/O functions, this series can be customized to meet different
special needs through different pin wirings. For example, you can connect a pin
to an external instrument, and set a fixed pulse or level signal for the external instrument. Once the external instrument fails, output this pulse or level signal.
After the instrument identifies this signal, it controls whether the power supply
output is reduced to 0 or whether the [On/Off] is switched off based on related
settings.
The rear panel of the instrument has a green 8-pin terminal (For position, see
2.3 Rear Panel Introduction). The terminal is a wiring terminal with digital I/O
function. These pins are bi-directional I/O interfaces. For hardware index information, see Table 3–2 Hardware parameters of the I/O interface. The pins sup-
port the input or output of pulse and high and low level. Different pins can
achieve different functions.

Taking pin 1 as an example, IO–1. Ps-Clear, Not-Invert contains three function
options, the first option Ps-Clear is the default function, and this function is also
a special custom function unique to this pin (the seven pins each have a different custom function). The second and third options (Input and Output) are the
general digital I/O function, and the parameter settings and functions of the seven pins are the same.

•Under the default condition (Not-Invert), when the pin (1 to 7) is configured
as Output, it can output the high level (False) or low level (True).
If the corresponding pin is configured as Invert, it means that the digital
signal is inverted and will output low level or high level.
•Under the default condition (Not-Invert), when the pin (1 to 7) is configured
as Output→PWM, the user needs to set the frequency (PWM Freq) and duty cycle (PWM Duty) values. For example, if the PWM Freq is set to 100Hz
and the PWM Duty is set to 10%, the output waveform is as follows:
Basic Operation
In the above figure, the peak voltage (minimum value) is 5.16V and the
cycle is 10ms. The high level duration is 9ms and the low level duration is
1ms in one cycle.
•Under the default condition (Not-Invert), when the pin (1 to 7) is configured
as Input, it means the instrument can detect the level status of the external
input. By default (i.e., the pin is not connected), it can be detected as high
level, and the front panel will display input(0). If the pin is configured as
Invert, it can be detected as low level, and the front panel will display input
(1).

CV Priority
In CV priority mode, the output is controlled by a constant-voltage feedback
loop, which maintains the output voltage at its programmed setting as long as
the load current remains within the positive or negative current limit settings. CV
priority mode is best suited for use with resistive or high impedance loads, and
loads that are sensitive to voltage overshoots. Do not use CV priority mode with
low-impedance sources such as batteries, power supplies, or large charged
capacitors.
In CV priority mode, the output voltage should be programmed to the desired
value. A positive and negative current limit value should also be set. The current
limit should always be set to a value that is greater than the actual input current
requirement of the external load. The following figure shows the CV priority operating locus of the output. The area in the white quadrants shows the output as
a source (sourcing power). The area in the shaded quadrants shows the output
as a load (sinking power).
Power Supply Function
The heavy solid line illustrates the locus of possible operating points as a func-
tion of output. As shown by the horizontal portion of the line, the output voltage
remains regulated at its programmed setting as long as the load current remains
within the positive or negative current limit setting. A CV status flag indicates
that the output voltage is being regulated and the output current is within its limit
settings.
Note that when the output current reaches either the positive or negative current
limit, the unit no longer operates in constant voltage mode and the output
ООО "Техэнком" Контрольно-измерительные приборы и оборудование www.tehencom.com
Power Supply Function
voltage is no longer held constant. Instead, the unit will now regulate the output
current at its current limit setting.
As shown by the vertical portions of the shaded quadrants, the output voltage
may continue to increase in the positive direction or decrease in the negative di-
rection as current is forced into or pulled out of the unit. When the output voltage
exceeds the over-voltage protection setting, the output will shut down.
In CC priority mode, the output is controlled by a bi-polar constant current feedback loop, which maintains the output source or sink current at its programmed
setting. The output current remains at its programmed setting, provided the load
voltage remains within the voltage limit setting. CC priority mode is best suited
for use with batteries, power supplies, large charged capacitors, and loads that
are sensitive to current overshoots. It minimizes current overshoots during programming, turn-on, and turn-off transitions and seamlessly transitions between
positive and negative currents.
In CC priority mode, the output current should be programmed to the desired
positive or negative value. A positive voltage limit range should also be set. The
voltage upper limit should always be set to a value that is greater than the actual
input voltage requirement of the external load. The following figure shows the
CC priority operating locus of the output. The area in the white quadrants shows
the output as a source (sourcing power). The area in the shaded quadrants
shows the output as a load (sinking power).
The heavy solid line illustrates the locus of possible operating points as a function of output. As shown by the vertical portion of the line, the output current re-
mains regulated at its programmed setting as long as the output voltage
ООО "Техэнком" Контрольно-измерительные приборы и оборудование www.tehencom.com
remains within its limit setting. A CC (constant current) status flag indicates that
the output current is being regulated and the output voltage is within its limit
settings.
Note that when the output voltage reaches the upper limit, the unit no longer op-
erates in constant current mode and the output current is no longer held constant. Instead, the unit will now regulate the output voltage at its voltage limit
setting.
As shown by the horizontal portion of the shaded quadrants, when the unit is
sinking power, the output current may continue to increase in the negative direction as more current is forced into the unit. This can happen when the instru-
ment is connected to an external device such as a battery, and its output
voltage is higher than the voltage limit setting of the instrument. Once the current exceeds the built-in negative over-current limit, the output will shut down. In
such a case, it is important to set the voltage limit properly in order prevent this
protection shutdown.

voltage is rising. Because this transient
condition should not be
considered as an
undervoltage fault and
there is no need to trigger protection.
Protection delay time,
see Protection Delay.
Protection Delay
You can specify an OCP/OVP/OPP/UCP/UVP delay to prevent momentary output settings and status changes from tripping the protection. In most cases
these momentary conditions would not be considered an protection fault, and
having an OCP/OVP/OPP/UCP/UVP condition disable the output when they occur would be a nuisance. Specifying an protection delay (Delay) can ignore
these momentary changes during the specified delay period. Once the delay
time has expired and the protection limit condition persists, the output will shut
down.
Fault Prompt
When the instrument enters the protection state, the buzzer sounds (if Beep
menu item is set as default state On), the VFD status indicators Prot and Off
are lit, and [On/Off] is turned off.
Although [On/Off] is turned off, there may be dangerous voltage at
the output electrodes. Do not touch the wiring cable or the electrode
terminals.
When protection is generated, the VFD screen displays the following
ООО "Техэнком" Контрольно-измерительные приборы и оборудование www.tehencom.com
information:
•The first row shows the meter voltage and the meter current value.
•The second row shows specific fault information, such as OVP.
Clear the Protection
After the instrument triggers protection and generates a fault message, you
need to troubleshoot the possible cause. When the fault is resolved, the VFD
will still prompt the fault information. You can manually clear the fault information
record through the following methods.
•Input a pulse signal to pin 1 of the rear panel P-IO to clear the fault
information.
For details, see 3.6.7.1 IO–1. Ps-Clear, Not-Invert.
•Press the [Esc] or [Enter] key on the front panel to manually clear the fault
information.
Power Supply Function
•Connected to the host computer, the PC sends a PROTection:CLEar com-
mand to the instrument to clear the fault information.
After the protection fault is cleared, you need to press the [On/Off] key on the
front panel or send the OUTPut ON command to the instrument to reopen
[On/Off].

OTP.
Possible Cause
To prevent damaging heat build-up and ensure specified performance, make
sure there is adequate ventilation and air flow around the instrument to ensure
proper cooling. Do not cover the ventilation holes on the rear panel, sides, or
bottom of the instrument. Even with proper ventilation, the instrument can overheat in the following situations.
•If the ambient temperature is too high.
•If you use the instrument to test for long periods.
Power Supply Function
How to Set
The OTP limit does not need to be set, and the internal device of the instrument
automatically detects and determines whether to enter the OTP state.
If an over-temperature condition occurs, power off the instrument and allow it to
cool for at least 30 minutes. After the internal temperature of the instrument has
cooled down, power it on again.
When you return power to the instrument, verify that the cooling fan is
running. If not, please contact ITECH Technical Support. Leaving the
instrument powered on with an inoperative cooling fan may result in
damage to the instrument.
4.5.7 Sense Reverse Protection
The instrument defaults to provide sense reverse protection. When the output
state is ON and the difference between output terminal voltage and sense remote voltage exceeds the specified voltage, sense reverse protection will be enabled after 500ms. The instrument output will be immediately switched to Off
and the display screen will display Sense Reverse Prot if the sense terminals
are reversed.
When the instrument is in Sense Reverse Protection state, you should check
ООО "Техэнком" Контрольно-измерительные приборы и оборудование www.tehencom.com
whether the polarities are connected reversely or not firstly. If yes, you can reopen the output after the polarities connect correctly.
The voltage difference between output terminal and remote sense terminal of
each model is not the same. When the remote sense terminal is connected reversely, the maximum voltage will not exceed the sum of output terminal voltage
and the difference voltage.
