Features
The PCR-LE2 Series is equipped with the following features.
• Switchable between single-phase output, single-phase threewire output, and three-phase output
Three types of output are available on a single unit.
• Various power supply simulations
Power line abnormalities such as outages and voltage dips can
be simulated. This is a basic feature for power-supply-environment testing.
• Various measurements
The rms voltage and current, the peak voltage and current, the
active power, apparent power, and power factor of the output
can be measured. Harmonic analysis (up to the 40th harmonic)
can be performed on the output current.
• DC output
The PCR-LE2 Series can generate DC output (single-phase output or single-phase three-wire output only) and AC + DC output
(single-phase output only). This makes it possible to use the
PCR-LE2 Series in a wide variety of fields, including chemistry
and physics.
• Sequences
The output voltage, frequency, and waveform can be changed
over time. Power-supply-environment testing can be automated.
In addition to the AC output sequences, DC output (single-phase
output or single-phase three-wire output only) and AC + DC output (single-phase output only) sequences are also available. A
variety of standard tests can also be performed.
• Sensing and regulation adjustment
Even if the load device is at a remote location, the PCR-LE2 Series can stabilize the voltage across the load by correcting for
voltage drops.
There are two types of sensing: hard sensing (single-phase
output only) and soft sensing. The different types of sensing are
used depending on the load conditions and how you will use the
PCR-LE2 Series.
• Output current control
The output limit function can be used to limit the output current
(rms) to a fixed value to perform continuous operation. Continuity
tests on electrical equipment (such as switchboards, breakers,
and wiring devices) can be performed under stable conditions.
• Power management function (power saving function)
A sleep function, which turns the power units off to reduce power
consumption when output is not generated for the specified
length of time, and a power-saving function, which operates the
power units at the bare minimum settings as required by the supply load, are available.
• Memory function
Up to 99 entries of output frequency, voltage (AC or DC), and
waveform bank settings can be saved to the internal memory.
The contents of internal memory, panel settings, power line abnormality simulations, sequence data, and waveform bank data
can be saved to a USB memory device.
• External communications
The PCR-LE2 Series can be controlled remotely through its
RS232C interface. If an optional interface board is used, the
PCR-LE2 Series can be controlled remotely through USB, GPIB,
and LAN interfaces.
• External analog signal control (optional)
The EX05-PCR-LE/EX06-PCR-LE option enables you to control
the PCR-LE2 Series output using external analog signals.

• Table for Recording Sequence Operation Settings (XLS)
User's Manual -Advanced-
• Using the synchronization Function
The synchronization function synchronizes the frequency and
phase of the PCR-LE2 output voltage with a 50 Hz or 60 Hz input
power supply.
• Using the Voltage Compensation Function
The compensation function compensates for voltage drops in the
load cables when the load is connected to the PCR-LE2 over a
long distance.
• Using Power Line Abnormality Simulations
In AC mode, you can simulate power supply line errors by stop-
ping the PCR-LE2 output and decreasing and increasing the
voltage (to simulate voltage dips and pops).
• Using the Sequence Function
A sequence is a series of settings - values such as the output
voltage, frequency, and time - that are saved in advance and
are then recalled and automatically carried out in order at a later
time.
• Using the Harmonic Current Analysis Function
You can perform harmonic analysis of the output current.
• Generating Special Waveforms (Waveform bank)
You can generate peak-clipped sine waveforms.
• Setting the Output Impedance
The PCR-LE2 output impedance (output resistance) is approxi-
mately 0 Ω. Commercial power supplies have an impedance
(resistance) of several milliohms to several ohms. You can set
the PCR-LE2 output impedance. This enables you to simulate
the same environment as that which is provided by commercial
power supplies.
• Setting Soft Starts (The voltage rise time)
To prevent the output from being turned off (the alarm from be-
ing activated) and the voltage from dropping due to the load
device’s inrush current that exceeds the rated capacity of the
PCR-LE2, you can control the inrush current by having the output
voltage rise gradually when the output is turned on.
• Fixing the Internal Vcc
To minimize loss in the linear amplifier section, the PCR-LE2 au-
tomatically adjusts the linear amplifier supply voltage (Vcc) to a
level that is suitable for the output voltage. You can fix the Vcc
voltage of the PCR-LE2. This is useful when you want to prioritize
the output voltage response over the product’s efficiency.
• Selecting the Response
The PCR-LE2 uses a high-speed amplifier. Depending on the
load circuits (especially in the case of capacitive loads) and the
wiring conditions, the output may become unstable may oscillate. You can set the response speed of the internal amplifier
according to the load conditions and how you will use the PCRLE2.
• Using the Power Management Functions
The PCR-LE2 has the following two power management func-
tions: a sleep function and a power-saving function
• External analog signal control (optional)
You can use the optional analog signal interface board to control
the product with external analog signals.

Note the following points when moving the product to the installation location or when transporting the product.
●Raise the stopper.
Moving the product with the stopper lowered may cause injuries
due to the product falling over.
●Unlock the casters.
●Do not move the product by yourself.
Be sure to have two or more people move the product. Exercise
special care when carrying the product over a slope or across
steps.
Hold the product from underneath.
Check the product’s weight before you transport it. The weight is
displayed in the bottom of the rear panel.
If you are using a forklift, be sure to slide the forks under the bottom of the product, check that the product is stable, and then
raise the product.
If you are using a band or similar item to raise the product with a
crane, be sure to slide the band under the bottom of the product,
check that the product is stable, and then raise the product.
●When you move the product, do not tip the product on its side or
turn it upside down.
Locking the casters and using the stopper
This product has casters on its bottom side, so it is easy to move
the product. To ensure that the product is not moved accidentally
while it is being operated, use the stopper to fix the product in

Handling the Terminal Block Tray (PCR6000LE2/ PCR9000LE2)
The PCR-LE2 Series AC INPUT, OUTPUT terminal block, SENSING
terminal block, and J1 to J4 connectors are designed so that they
can only be wired after you first pull out the terminal block tray.
The terminal box covers ensure that you don’t touch the unwired
terminals. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to insert and remove the
screws.
Check that the POWER switch is turned off.
1
Loosen the six terminal box cover screws, and then
2
slide the three covers up.

and connectors as necessary.
Return the stopper to its previous position.
6
Return the terminal block tray to its previous posi-
7
tion, and then attach the two screws that you removed in step 3
If you do not insert the terminal block tray all the way into
its storage compartment, an electric current will not flow
through the PCR-LE2 even if the POWER switch is turned
on.
Remove the two terminal block tray screws, and
