1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 SCOPE OF MANUAL
This Operator's Manual covers the installation and operation of the Kepco RCW 750W Series of
Switching Power Supplies. 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 RCW Power Supply. This information can be found on the nameplate of the unit.
1.2 DESCRIPTION
The Kepco RCW 750W Series consists of seven models of Switching Power Supplies, with a single
output as shown in Table 1. RCW power supplies are compliant with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD)
and carry the CE Mark. Units are designed to operate with a universal input voltage within the range
of 85 to 264V AC and may be operated with either 100-120V AC, or 200-240V AC (100 to 240 volts
nominal input range), 50-60 Hz (47-66 Hz) input. They will also operate on 125V to 370V dc input.
The RCW 750W Series employs a light weight ferrite core transformer with 160 KHz typical (140 KHz
typical for the RCW 48-15K model) switching frequency. The Power Factor Correction Circuit has a
typical switching of 60 KHz. Regulation is provided by pulse width modulation. A FET power stage,
operating in the forward conversion mode provides a smooth isolated dc output. A resistor and thyristor "soft-start" circuit prevents excessive turn-on current surge. Overvoltage protection and optically
isolated remote TTL ON-OFF control are provided. Current limiting with automatic recovery from
short circuit is featured. Units are enclosed in a wrap-around aluminum case with a green LED "output present" light visible on the terminal side of the case.

3.0 OPERATION
3.1 INSTALLING THE POWER SUPPLY
The unit may be mounted in accordance with the Mechanical Outline Drawing, Figure 3 (mounting
holes are provided). The temperature of the air surrounding the Power Supply must not exceed the
ambient values given in the Specifications Table 1. See Figure 4 for horizontal and vertical mounting of the RCW 750W Power Supply.
The RCW 750 has four tapped Metric M4x8L mounting holes on the bottom side of the unit for horizontal installation as well as eight tapped Metric M4x8L mounting hole on the side surfaces for vertical installation. Free air space must be provided at the rear of the unit to allow for maximum
ventilation and exhaust of the fan. Power Supply specifications should be derated for certain operating temperatures
Referring to Figure 4, the air cooling holes on the front panel of the unit and on the top, and in front of
the fan should be kept clear at least 1 inch (20mm) from adjacent equipment and in a well ventilated
area.

3.2 CONNECTING THE LOAD (LOCAL SENSE)
To connect the load for local sensing, the shorting links must be maintained between the (+) S and
(+) M terminals, and between the (–) S and (–) M terminals. The load is connected across the DC
output (+) and (–) terminals.
3.3 CONNECTING THE LOAD (REMOTE SENSE)
The load is connected as shown in Figure 5. Error sensing may be done at the load terminals to
compensate for voltage loss in the connecting wires. The shorting links must be removed from the
(±) S Sense terminals and from the respective (±) M terminals..
FIGURE 5 CONNECTIONS FOR REMOTE SENSING WITH THE RCW 750W POWER SUPPLY
3.4 VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The unit is provided with a voltage adjustment control (Vadj) (see Mechanical Outline Drawing, Figure 3). To adjust voltage, first place the unit under an operating load, then monitor the (+) S and (–)
S Sense terminals with a precision voltmeter and turn the voltage control to the desired operating
value. Refer to Table 1 for Adjustment Range of all the RCW 750W Models (see Figure 6).

Page 12
FIGURE 6 TERMINAL LOCATIONS OF THE RCW 750W POWER SUPPLY
3.5 REMOTE VOLTAGE CONTROL
The use of the RV terminal allows for the output voltage to be adjusted by a trimmer pot (see Figure
7). Use a shielded wire, 2m maxium in length, for connection to the trimmer control (the voltage rise
time is slower when this function is used). Remove the shorting link between the (+) S and (+) M terminals, turn the Vadj trimmer to the left end and connect the external trimmer between the (+) M and
(+) RV terminals (see Terminal Location for the RCW 750W Power Supply, Figure 6). Suggested values for the trimmer control are 10K ohms for the 48 Volt model and 5K ohms for all other models.
Specifications are met when output voltage is within adjustment range in Table 1.

FIGURE 7 CONNECTIONS FOR REMOTE VOLTAGE CONTROL OF THE RCW 750W POWER SUPPLY
3.6 REMOTE TURN-ON TURN-OFF
When power is ON at the source, the output may be turned ON or OFF with the remote control feature. The remote ON/OFF RC (Remote Control) terminals can be controlled by a logic level (2.4V
to 24V "high" and 0.0 to 0.4V "low"), or a contact closure. When the RC terminals (on the front
panel) are short circuited by using either a mechanical switch or a low level logic signal, the RCW
750W output is cut OFF. At low level logic, the maximum sink current is 1.6mA. With the RC terminals open the RCW 750W output returns to within specifications. The RC terminals should remain
open if not used (see Figure 6).
The RC terminals are isolated from the AC input and DC output terminals.
3.7 PARALLEL OPERATION
Identical RCW 750W Power Supplies can be connected in parallel. The output current of each
Power Supply can be balanced by connecting together all the CB terminals, connecting together all
the (–) S terminals and connecting together all the (+) S terminals of up to two RCW 750W Power
Supply units (see Figure 8). The current tolerance with up to two RCW 750W units in parallel
should be within (±) 10% of the rated output current. With two RCW 750W units in parallel, the output voltage of any Power Supply individually must be within 5% of the other power supply output
voltages. The output current range is 20 to 90% of the nominal output current.

NOTES
1) Maintain the connecting links between the (+) M and (+) S terminals and between the (–) M and (–) S terminal.
2) Set voltage of unit 1 to the desired voltage at the load.
3) With two RCW 750W units in parallel the output voltage of each Power Supply must be set to less than 2% of each other
4) When the Current Balance function is used with the Remote ON/OFF function, connect all the (+) RC terminals together and allthe (–) RC terminals together.
5) Use the same length and wire size for load connecting wires from the (+) and (–) Bus Bar of each RCW 750W Power Supply to the load terminals
6) Use the same length and wire size for twisted pair Sensing wires from the (+) S and (–) S terminals of each RCW 750W power Supply to the load terminals

ply to the load terminals
6) Use the same length and wire size for the twisted pair Sensing wires from the (+) S and (–) S Sense terminals of each
RCW 750W Power Supply to the load terminals
When the current balance function is used together with the Remote ON/OFF function, connect
together all the (+) RC terminals and connect together all the (–) RC terminals.
3.8 PRELIMINARY ELECTRICAL CHECK
Connect an adjustable load across the power supply output terminals, on the center (+) and (–)
bus bars (on the front panel, see Figure 9). The load must have a dissipation rating of at least
1500 Watts. Connect a voltmeter and an oscilloscope across the power supply Monitor terminals,
(+) M and (-) M, located on the right side terminal block (on the front panel). The oscilloscope must
be isolated from the source and grounded at the load. Use an isolation transformer between the
test equipment and the AC input power (see Figure 9).
Connect the AC input power to the line, neutral and ground terminals of the left side terminal barrier strip (on the front panel). Turn the unit ON and check the output voltage with and without
load. The output voltage can be adjusted within the published range by using the front panel voltage control trimmer.

4.0 ALARM FUNCTIONS
4.1 OVERVOLTAGE AND OVERTEMPERATURE PROTECTION
When the output voltage or the internal temperature of the RCW 750W Power Supply increases
beyond the specified values (see Table 1), the output is cut OFF and the fan turns OFF. To restart
(reset) the unit it is necessary to remove the ac input power, wait 40 seconds and then to reapply the
AC input power. However, when the Power Supply shuts down due to an increase in internal temperature, the restart cycle (Power ON) should not begin until the temperature returns to within specifications. Indication of an overvoltage or overtemperature condition is provided by a red LED and a logic
alarm output (at the ± AL terminals) that is attributable to an open collector-emitter circuit of an optical
coupler.
During normal operation, the optocoupler transistor is in full conduction (saturation) while during
alarm condition the transistor is open (stops conducting, see Figure 10).
FIGURE 10 LOGIC ALARM OPTICAL COUPLER OUTPUT FOR THE RCW 750W POWER SUPPLY
4.2 UNDERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
When the output voltage falls to less then 60% of the rated output voltage for more then 40 seconds,(for the RCW 3.3-150K it is less than 45% for more than 40 seconds) the output is cut OFF
and the fan stops automatically .To restart (reset) the unit it is necessary to remove the ac input
power, wait 40 seconds and then to reapply the AC input power. An indication of undervoltage is
provided by a red LED and a logic alarm output (at the (±) AL terminals) that is derived from open
collector-emitter circuit of an optical coupler.
During normal operation, the optocoupler transistor is in full conduction (saturation) while during
alarm condition the transistor is open (stops conducting).
4.3 FAN FAILURE
A decrease in fan speed causes the output to shut down and the fans to turn OFF. To restart (reset)
the unit it is necessary to remove the ac input power, wait 40 seconds and then to reapply the AC
input power. Fan failure is indicated by a red LED and logic alarm output (at the ±AL terminals) from
an open collector-emitter circuit of an optical coupler.

During normal operation, the optocoupler transistor is in full conduction (saturation) while during
alarm condition the transistor is open (stops conducting).
5.0 FAN REPLACEMENT
To replace the fan on the back panel of the RCW 750W Power Supply, the following steps are
required:
1.Remove the four Phillips Head screws holding the rear back panel in place (this is the one
covering the front of the fan). Pull off the back panel and disconnect the fan connector
from its mating connector. Make sure there are no other wires attached to the fan before
removing it from the unit (see Figure 3).
2.When reinstalling the fan in the power supply make sure that the fan connector is securely
fastened and that the fan cable does not touch the rotating member of the fan assembly.
6.0 FAN MAINTENANCE
Do not use the fan in an environment of high temperature and high humidity, particularly in one that
exceeds the temperature and humidity limits given in the Power Supply Specifications (see Table 1).
Avoid an environment where corrosive gas may be present. If the Power Supply is used in an open
or dirty area, a filter should be installed on the air intake side of the fan to prevent the inflow of dust
particles. If the Power Supply is used in briny air care should be taken to keep the salt from entering
the Power Supply.
