1.1SCOPE OF MANUAL
This Operator's Manual covers the installation and operation o f the Kepco HSF A and HSF AM
600W Series of Switching Power Supplies. Basic models are identified by the suffix “A” following
the model number; models with the suffix “AM” include an integral voltage/current meter. For service information, write directly to: Kepco Inc., 131-38 Sanford Avenue, Flushing, New York, 11355,
U.S.A. Please state Model Designation and Serial Number of your HSF Power Supply. This information can be found on the nameplate of the unit.
1.2DESCRIPTION
The Kepco HSF A and AM 600 Watt Series are hot swappable, high frequency switching, plug-in
power supplies that are completely interchangeable with the metered HSF AM Series, as well as
with Kepco’s earlier 600 Watt HSF Series (non A). When integrating A and non A models refer to
PAR’s. 3.5 and 3.7.2.2 regarding isolation of the return signal of the RC and PF features. Unless
otherwise noted, all data supplied herein for A models applies to AM models as well.
Five models may be selected for outputs of 12V, 15V, 2 4V, 28V or 48V. They employ forward conversion and power factor correction and are designed to operate in a fault tolerant powe r system.
Input voltage range is single phase 85-265V a-c (47-63Hz) or 120-330V d-c. Input voltage which
is out of specification may cause unit damage. Safety standards apply when input voltage is within
100-240V a-c (50-60Hz). A built-in current balancing circuit and OR-ing diodes allow configuration
for hot-swap and parallel-redundant N+1 operation.
HSF A (without meter) and AM (with meter) Models use the HSF output to power the VDC ON
indicator and internal alarm relay. A minimum HSF output voltage is needed to maintain functionality for these components. For HSF AM models a minimum output is also needed to power the
meter.
These power supplies are designed to be used with Kepco's Series RA 19-4C rack adapte rs. The
RA 19-4C rack adapter accepts up to four 600W modules. All input/output connections are
through a 24-pin connector that plugs in to the rack adapter. All external connections described in
the following paragraphs are made through the rack adapter ’s I/O connector (see Figure 1).

FIGURE 4. DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
3.2FRONT PANEL ACCESS.
!
The front panel provides a power ON/OFF switch controlling input power and a “VDC ON” indicator which lights green when the unit is operating. If the unit is connected in a parallel configuration,
the indicator lights red if the unit shuts off automatically, or the POWER switch is set to OFF.
CAUTION: DO NOT repeatedly toggle the power ON/OFF switch as this may cause unit to
fault. The ON/OFF switch must be set to OFF before removing unit from rack
adapter.
If remote on-off is not enabled (see PAR. 3.5), the OUTPUT RESET button restores output power
in the event that overcurrent or overvoltage protection has tripped, or thermal overload or fan malfunction has occurred.
If remote voltage control (see PAR. 3.4.2) is not enabled, the front panel Vadj trimmer (see PAR.
3.4.1) provides adjustment of the output voltage within the limits specified in Table 2; test points
are available at the front panel for monitoring the DC output.
Figure 5 shows the location of all operating controls, indicators and test points followed by an
explanation of each.
3.3KEYING
Keying of the HSF (A, AM) 600W is established at the factory. The output voltage determines
which key pins are installed (see Figure 3, Detail A). When the proper holes in the rack adapter
are blocked by keying screws installed by the user, only a power supply of the correct voltage can
be inserted in the rack adapter slot. Refer to the RA 19-4C Manual for rack adapter keying instructions.
3.4OUTPUT VOLTAGE CONTROL
Output Voltage can be controlled from either the front panel (PAR. 3.4.1) or externally using a
trimpot or voltage source (PAR. 3.4.2).
3.4.1 FRONT PANEL VOLTAGE CONTROL
Output voltage can be manually adjusted with the voltage adjustment control, Vadj (see Figure 5
for location). Configuration options are as follows:
Output from maximum to minimum specified in Table 2 (Figure 6A (factory default)).
SW1: pos 1 to ON, pos 2 to ON;
SW2: pos 1 to OFF, pos 2 to OFF, pos 7 to OFF
Output from maximum to 0V (requires multiple turns of Vadj for full range)
SW1: pos 1 to OFF, pos 2 to OFF
SW2: pos 1 to ON, pos 2 to ON, pos 7 to ON
To adjust voltage, first place the unit under an operating load. Then monitor the (+) and (–) test
points on the front panel with a precision voltmeter and turn the voltage control to the desired
operating value.
The minimum output voltage required to ensure proper operation of the alarm relay, meter (on AM
models) and LED indicator is listed in Table 5.

NOTE: SWITCH POSITIONS NOT SHOWN HAVE NO EFFECT ON DESCRIBED FUNCTION.
Output voltage can be controlled remotely by means of an external voltage or resistance instead
of by Vadj. Configure the DIP switches as follows:
SW1: pos1 to ON, pos2 to ON; SW2: pos 1 to OFF, Pos2 to OFF
NOTE: Configuring the unit for remote output voltage control disables the front panel Vadj con-
trol. To restore Vadj control, configure the DIP switches per PAR. 3.4.1.
When DIP switch positions 1 and 2 are configured as noted above, output voltage can be adjusted
by either an external trimmer pot (resistance) or by an external variable voltage source as shown
in Figure 7. At the rack adapter I/O connector use a shielded wire 6.6 feet (2M) maximum in
length, for connection of pin 2 (REF, Reference), pin 12 (RV, Remote Voltage), and pin 10 (–COM,
Common) of the rack adapter I/O connector to the trimmer control or external voltage source.
Using External Voltage to Control the Output. Connect the external voltage source across the
RV and –COM pins as shown in Figure 7B. By adjusting an external 0 to 6V voltage source (0 to
5.5V for the 48V model), the HSF (A, AM) output voltage can be adjusted within the range specified
in Table 2. To ensure proper operation of the alarm relay, meter (AM Models only) and VDC ON/
ALARM indica tor, do not adjust the external voltage below minimum listed in Table 5.
Using External Resistance to Control the Output. Connect the unit to the RV, –COM and REF
pins as shown in Figure 7A. Suggested value for the trimmer control is 20K oh ms. Referring to
Figure 7A, Resistor R is used to obtain minimum output voltage required to ensure proper operation of the alarm relay, meter (AM Models only) and VDC ON/ALARM indicator; see Table 5 for
values.
NOTES: 1. Output voltage may not adjust to 0V due to residual trimmer resistance.
FIGURE 6. DIP SWITCH SETTINGS FOR CONTROL OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE
2. If remote output control is not implemented, the factory default for positions 1, 2
and 7 of DIP switches SW1 and SW2 must be restored (Figure 6A).
3. It is possible that overvoltage protection may be triggered if the output voltage is
decreased to a low level very quickly when the power supply is at a low load
condition.

3.5REMOTE ON-OFF
When power is ON at the source, the output may be turned ON or OFF using the ±RC signals if
the remote ON-OFF feature is enabled. Note that when remote ON-OFF is enabled, the RESET
OUTPUT switch does not function. Remote ON-OFF is enabled by setting DIP switch positions 3
and 4 as shown in Figure 8B. The +RC and –RC signals (at the rack ad apter I/O connector, pins
15 and 8, respectively) then turn the unit on or off.
These pins accept a logic level (2.4V to 12V maximum for “high” and 0.0 to 0.8V for “low”), or a
contact closure. When the ±RC pins are open, using either a mechanical switch or a high level
logic signal, the HSF (A, AM) 600W output is cut OFF. When the ±RC pins are shorted, the output
returns to within specifications. At low level logic, the maximum sink current is 3.5mA.
Positions 3 and 4 of both DIP switches must be restored to the factory default setting (Figure 8A)
if remote ON-OFF is not used.
NOTE: The +RC pin is not isolated from DC output. –PF and –RC are connected together
and cannot be isolated from each other (unlike earlier (non A) HSF 600W models).
This return is connected to the power supply –OUTPUT. Please contact Kepco if application requires remote control to be isolated from DC output or from PF signal.

3.6PROTECTION CIRCUITS
The following protection features are implemented in the HSF (A, AM) 600W Series: overvoltage
and overtemperature (PAR. 3.6.1), overcurrent (PAR. 3.6.2), fan failure (PAR. 3.6.3), and undervoltage (PAR. 3.6.4). The HSF (A, AM) 600W Series provides a configurable visual alarm (see
PAR. 3.7.1) as well as an option to use either relay contacts or logic levels for alarm signals (see
PAR. 3.7.2)
3.6.1 OVERVOLTAGE AND OVERTEMPERATURE PROTECTION
When the output voltage of the HSF (A, AM) 600W Power Supply increases beyond the specified
values (see Table 2), at some point the output is cut OFF and the fan turns OFF. To restart (reset)
the unit, press and release the OUTPUT RESET switch on the front panel or, if the remote on/off
feature is in use (see PAR. 3.5), open connection between the ±RC pins and then reconnect the
pins. The unit may also be restarted by turning the POWER ON/OFF switch to OFF, waiting 40
seconds, then setting the POWER switch to ON.
When internal temperature of the HSF (A, AM) 600W Power Supply increases be yond the allowable limit, the output is cut OFF and the fans turn O FF. The restart cycle (Power ON) should not
begin until the temperature returns to within specifications. To restart (reset) the unit, set the
POWER ON/OFF switch to OFF, wait until unit cools, then set the POWER switch to ON. The
power supply cannot be reset using the remote ON-OFF feature unless the power supply remains
shut down for at least 40 seconds.
3.6.2 OVERCURRENT SETTING AND PROTECTION
The Overcurrent Protection (OCP) characteristic is constant current limiting, automatic recovery.
OCP operates when output current exceeds 105% (119% for 24V model) of maximum d-c output
current specification. The output automatically recovers when the overload condition is removed.
CAUTION: Operating the unit under overcurrent or shorted conditions for more than 30
seconds may damage the unit.
The OCP setting is fixed and is not user-adjustable.
3.6.3 FAN FAILURE
A cutoff of the fan supply voltage or a decrease in fan speed causes the ou tput to sh ut down and the
fans to turn OFF. Fan failure and all the other protection circuit operations produce an alarm (see
PAR. 3.7.2). To restart (reset) the unit, press and release the OUTPUT RESET switch on the front
panel or, if the remote on/off feature is in use (see PAR. 3.5), open the connection between the
±RC pins and then reconnect the pins. The unit may also be restarted by turning the POWER ON/
OFF switch to OFF, waiting 40 seconds, then setting the POWER switch to ON. If fan rotation is
out of specification the power supply will not recover.

If power supply output voltage either falls within 40 to 80% of the rated output voltage value, or is
programmed below the minimum values listed in Table 5, an alarm occurs if the internal relay
alarm (factory default, see PAR. 3.7.2.1) is enabled. To restart (reset) the unit, pres s and release
the OUTPUT RESET switch on the front panel or, if the remote on/off feature is in use (see PAR.
3.5), open the connection between the ±RC pins and then reconnect the pins. The unit may also
be restarted by turning the POWER ON/OFF switch to OFF, waiting 40 seconds, then setting the
POWER switch to ON. To enable the alarm function when operating below the minimum values
listed in Table 5, refer to PAR. 3.7.2.2 to configure the optically-coupled alarm .
3.7ALARM SETTINGS
3.7.1 VISUAL ALARM.
When the unit is connected in a parallel configuration, the front panel VDC ON/ALARM indicator is
normally configured to light red if the respective power supply output voltage is lost or if the
POWER switch is set to OFF. This is enabled when DIP switch 1, position 8 is set to ON. This can
be useful to indicate the loss of output voltage from one parallel-connected power supply that may
not be readily apparent. For the visual alarm to function properly the minimums speci f i ed i n Table 4
must be observed.
FIGURE 9. DIP SWITCH SETTINGS FOR RED ALARM INDICATOR ENABLE/DISABLE
If desired, the red alarm indication of the VDC ON/ALARM indicato r can be disabled by setting
DIP switch 1 position 8 to OFF.
3.7.2 ALARM SIGNALS.
Either of two options are available for signalling alarms: isolated re lay contacts (factory default,
PAR. 3.7.2.1) or logic level alarm sign als ±PF (PAR. 3.7.2.2). The ±PF logic level alarm option
must be used if the power supply is intended to ope rate below the minimum voltages listed in
Table 5.
3.7.2.1 INTERNAL ISOLATED RELAY ALARM
The first option, the factory default setting, uses an isolated internal relay offering normally closed
(NC) and normally open (NO) contacts referenced to an isolated common (AL COM). These co ntacts may be used to configure “close on failure” or “open on failure” alarm circuits. (Refer to the
Series RA 19-4C Manual for alarm configurations for multiple HSF (A, AM) power su pplies.) Setting position 5 of the DIP switches as shown in Figure 10A select s this opti on. The NC (pin 6 o f the
rack adapter I/O connector) and NO (pin 7) signals are referenced to Alarm common (pin 14).
3.7.2.2 OPTICALLY-COUPLED LOGICAL ALARM
The second option uses optically-coupled logic level alarm signals, +PF (pin 5 of the rack adapter
I/O connector) and -PF (pin 13), provided directly from the internal power supply that is the heart
of the HSF (A, AM) power supply. The optically-coupled logic alarm is selected by setting position
5 of the DIP switches as shown in Figure 10B. This option functions even with output voltage
adjusted below the minimum voltages specified in Table 5.

and cannot be isolated from each other. This return is connected to the power supply –OUTPUT when position 4 of SW1 is set to ON (factory default). If it is necessary to isolate the –PF and –RC from the power supply output, set position 4 of
SW1 to OFF.
FIGURE 10. DIP SWITCH SETTINGS FOR OPTICALLY COUPLED LOGICAL ALARM
The logic alarm circuit is a diode transistor optical coupler (see Figure 11). The transistor is normally conducting. When the alarm is activated upon detection of power loss, overvoltage, fan
fault, overtemperature or overcurrent condition, the transistor cuts off and the collector emitter circuit is open. Figure 12 is a timing diagram of the power fail signal.
The default state of the alarm is logic low. The sink current for the optocoupler is 50mA maximum,
the maximum collector to emitter saturation voltage is 0.40 Volts, and the collector to emitter voltage is 40 volts maximum. The +PF signal is isolated from the AC input and DC output. The –PF
signal (in common with –RC) is connected to –OUTPUT when positio n 4 SW1 is set to ON (factory default). It is possible to isolate both –PF and –RC from –OUTPUT by setting SW1 of position
4 to OFF.
FIGURE 12. ±PF POWER FAILURE OPTOCOUPLER TIMING DIAGRAM
3.8LOCAL/REMOTE SENSING
HSF (A, AM) 600W Power Supplies allow remote error sensing which can compensate up to 0.4
Volts per load wire. Local/Remote error sensing is configured by means of separate DIP switches
mounted on the RA 19-4C Rack Adapter (see RA 19-4C Rack Adapter Ope rator Manual). Either
local or remote sensing MUST be used, otherwise the units will not operate.
3.9RETAINING LATCHES
HSF (A, AM) 600W series power supplies are provided with (2) re tention latches located at each
side of the bottom edge of the front panel (see Figure 5). These latches work in conjunction with
the RA 19-4C rack adapters to prevent unauthorized or inadvertent module extraction from an
operating power system. The latch is engaged by loosening the cap-head screw approximately 1/
2 turn CCW (use 5/32” hex key) and sliding the latch d own to the bottom of the slot, then r etightening the cap-head screw CW until snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! To release, follow the same
procedure, except lift the latch to the top of the slot. Be sure to move the latch com pletely up or
down to ensure full engagement and disengagement of the latching mechanism. When the HSF A
power supply is not installed in its plug-in rack adapter, it is recommended that the latch be
secured in the open (up) position to prevent damage.
NOTE: Retaining latches must not be used to secure the HSF A power supply in the rack
adapter for shipping purposes.

4.LOAD CONNECTION
Connect the load to (+) and (–) terminals at the rear panel of the Rack Adapter (see RA 19-4C
Instruction Manual for details).
5.CONNECTING MULTIPLE POWER SUPPLIES
All connections to multiple HSF (A, AM) power supplies must be made via the I/O mating connectors at rear of the Rack Adapter or by the Rack Adapter DIP switches. These connection s, inclu ding the configuration of the two internal HSF (A, AM) DIP switches, are described in the Rack
Adapter Instruction manual, and include:
•Using one power supply to control the output of multiple supplies.
•Using parallel master/slave configurations (for increased current or redundancy) where
the user either predetermines the master or allows the load to determine which is the
master. These configurations also cover the use of the Current Balancing feature of the
HSF (A, AM ) power supply.
•Using series configurations (for increased voltage).
•Using open-on-fail or close-on-fail alarm schemes with multiple power supplies.
NOTES: 1. To enable current share, the difference between voltage settings of parallel con-
nected units should be less than 0.5% of the nominal voltage value of the units.
Output voltage adjustment should be done at same load for each unit.
2. An overshoot of about 1% of nominal voltage occurs upon power up of each unit .
When powering up with no load, overshoot may last up to 15 seconds and alarm
may be temporarily triggered on one of the other parallel-connected units.
3. Load effect specifications will not be met when units are operated in redundant
mode with load less than 10% per unit.
4. Minimum Load. A minimum load is required to operation without voltage set
restrictions (see Note 5, below). The minimum load is defined as:
minimum load (Amperes) = N x (I/10)
whereN = the number of units in parallel,
I = Nominal current rating of individual power supply (Amperes).
5. Voltage Set Restrictions. When units are at light load (under 10% of nominal),
and voltage settings are less than 80% of nominal, voltage set restriction are
required. To avoid a “slave idle” condition (PF signal set, red ALARM indicator on)
the output voltage of all parallel-connected u nits must be set within 0.5% of each
other and be at least 80% of their nominal (rated) output voltage (90% for 48V
model).
