KEPCO BOP 1KW-MG Quick Reference Guide

KEPCO®

THE POWER SUPPLIER™

Once the power supply is installed (see full Technical Manual), this guide is an aid that briefly outlines a simple approach to accomplishing
common tasks, with the appropriate Technical Manual paragraph references for more details. All instructions start from the power-up
screen (press % from most submenus to return to power-up screen). Many setup functions can be password protected - see UTILITY
below for instructions.

light Max/Min Settings, !, Higlight Protect Entry, !, highlight Bipolar or Independent, then $. % to exit or $ to save for power-up
(see PAR. 3.3.3.1).

How can I prevent voltage (in voltage mode) or current (in current mode) from being set beyond a predetermined
level?

%, highlight Max/Min Settings, !. Higlight +Voltage Max, -Voltage Min, +Current Max or -Current Min as desired, !, use key-

pad to change value, then

$. % to exit or $ to save for power-up (see PAR. 3.3.4).

How do I prevent protection limit from being set beyond a predetermined level? %, highlight Max/Min Settings, !,

Higlight +C Protect Max, -C Protect Min, +V Protect Max or -V Protect Min as desired,
exit or $ to save for power-up (see PAR. 3.3.4.2).

!, use keypad to change value, then $. % to

What happens when the protect setting is reached? Limit channel controls power supply, display shows the message CPRO-

TECT (current protection in voltage mode) VPROTECT (voltage protection in current mode) or PROTECT (external analog protection).

POWER SUPPLY SETUP

How do I configure for resistive, active or battery type load? %, highlight Load Type, !, highlight Active, Resistive, or Bat-

tery then

$. Press % to exit or $ to save for power-up (see PAR. 3.3.6).

How do I control whether the output is on or off upon *RST? %, !, highlight *RST sets Output, !, highlight On or Off, then

$. Press % to exit or $ to save for power-up (see PAR. 3.5.3.1.3).

How do I control what condition the unit is in upon power up. %, highlight Power Up Settings, !, highlight parameter, !,

highlight desired power-up state, then

$. Repeat for all parameters, then % to exit or $ to save for power-up (see PAR. 3.3.7).

CONTROLLING THE OUTPUT USING EXTERNAL (ANALOG) SIGNALS (REMOTE)

How do I control the mode using an external signal? $, highlight External Mode, !, highlight Enable, $, then % to apply

changes and exit. This setting is not saved for power-up (PAR. 3.4.2). Select mode by applying either logic 1 or open circuit for voltage, or
logic 0 or short circuit for current, to pin 2 referenced to pin 9 of the Analog I/O port (PAR. 3.4.2).

How do I use an analog voltage to control the output (main channel)? $, highlight Reference input, !, highlight External

$, then % to apply changes and exit . This setting is not saved for power-up. Apply ±10V signal to pin 11 referenced to pin 4 of the

then
Analog I/O port to control active channel (voltage or current) (PAR. 3.4.3).

How do I use an analog voltage to control the protection channel? $, highlight Protection Limit, !, highlight External then

$, then % to apply changes and exit (not saved for power-up). Apply +1V to +10V signal to the following pins referenced to pin 12 of the

Analog I/O port to control limit channel from 10% to full scale: –Current Protect: pin 5, +Current Protect: pin 13, –Voltage Protect: pin 6,
+Voltage Protect: pin 14 (PAR. 3.4.4).

How do I choose between local, digital and analog control of the output? The unit normally powers up in Local mode. Sending

a command via RS 232 or GPIB interfaces automatically puts the unit into Remote mode. Press
voltage is controlling the output (see above), local control of the main channel is disabled and digital commands are not accepted.

How do I use the BOP as an amplifier? See above to control the main channel and/or protection channel using analog signals. The

nominal (inherent) voltage gain of each model is calculated by (G
