IV Contents RC04-PCR-LA
Chapter 1
Outlines and describes the features of the RC04-PCR-LA Remote
Controller.
General
1.1 Outline
This device (RC04-PCR-LA) is a remote controller for the PCR-LA
Series AC power supplies.
Use of the RC04-PCR-LA with a PCR-LA AC power supply signifi-
cantly extends the power supply functions.
1.2 Features
Use of the Remote Controller allows the PCR-LA AC power supplies
to utilize the following enhanced functions in addition to the power
supplies’ standard functions.
Power line abnormality simulation
This function enables simulation of interruption, fast voltage dip (dip)
or fast voltage swell (pop).
The function is used to test switching power supplies or electronics
devices.
Sequence operation
Sequence operation permits automatic operation by combining output
voltage and frequency or other parameters with duration time. This
function allows the settings of combinations of output voltage, frequency, time, and other factors that have been stored in advance to be
retrieved and output in sequence. This action (sequence operation)
enables automatic operations.
This function can be used to test the power supply environment of a
variety of devices and equipment.
Harmonic current analysis function
This function allows analysis of the harmonic components of an output current. (Because a simplified measurement method is employed,
it does not conform to IEC or other standards.)
RC04-PCR-LA General 1-1
Special waveform output
This function allows the “peak-clipped waveform,” in which the peak
of a sine wave is suppressed, to be output as standard. This function
can be used not only for a variety of electronics devices but also for
chemical experiments and production equipment.
Output impedance setting
The PCR-LA AC power supplies have almost 0 ohm output impedance (output resistance); an actual commercial power line has several
milliohm to several ohm impedance (resistance). When the Remote
Controller is connected to a PCR-LA AC power supply, the PCR-LA
power supply can vary the output impedance. This allows simulation
of an environment similar to that of an actual commercial power line.
Measurements of power factor, VA, and peak holding current
The PCR-LA AC power supplies have a variety of measurement functions. Connecting the Remote Controller to a PCR-LA power supply
allows additional measurements of the power factor, VA, and peak
holding current to be performed.
The peak holding current measurement function is useful for measuring an inrush current.
Output ON/OFF phase setting
This function allows output ON/OFF phase setting to be performed
separately.
It can be used if it is necessary to set an output ON/OFF phase during
simulation of an inrush current.
AC + DC mode
This function allows the PCR-LA AC power supply to output voltage
waveforms in which AC voltage is superimposed on DC voltage.
The function can be used in chemical experiments and for production
equipment.
Expansion of the Memory Function
The PCR-LA AC power supplies have a function for storing nine sets
of voltage and frequency settings in the memory (memory addresses
1 to 9), and reading the data for output as necessary.
Connecting the device to the PCR-LA power supply allows a maximum of 99 sets of voltage and frequency to be stored in the memory.
1-2 General RC04-PCR-LA
Regulation adjustment
With regulation adjustment, the output voltage is adjusted automatically to compensate for a voltage drop caused by the output current.
This function is used for the same purpose as the sensing function.
The sensing function measures the sensing-point voltage in order to
maintain a constant sensing-point voltage; with regulation adjustment, the voltage drop caused by the output current is calculated, and
the output voltage is raised by an amount equivalent to the drop.
The function ensures stabilized voltage at the load end without using
sensing cables even if there is a substantial distance between the load
and the PCR-LA AC power supply.
NOTE
• When regulation adjustment is performed, the PCR-LA AC
power supply’s voltage stability accuracy, distortion factor,
and response speed decrease below the normal capability.
Therefore, this function may not be suitable for some applications. Check the load conditions and other factors before use.

Chapter 4
Describes the operations of the Remote Controller and the extended
functions of the PCR-LA AC power supply.
Operation Method
4.1 Basic Operation of the Remote Controller
Remote controller operation is designed to be as much as possible the
same as that of the PCR-LA AC power supply control panel. However, part of the operation and operation of new functions provided by
the Remote Controller differ from that of the PCR-LA power supply
control panel.
The basic operating method of the Remote Controller is as follows:
1. To enter main function setting or execution status, press the
relevant key (MEM, SEQ, SIM, WAVE, or MODE).
Note that these keys are accepted only in the Home Position. For
information on how to use JOG and SHUTTLE, see “3.1.2 How
to Use JOG and SHUTTLE” in the PCR-LA AC Power Supply
Operation Manual.
2. After entering each function setting or execution status,
press the F1 to F5 function keys (located right below the
items displayed at the lower part of the display). The function keys correspond to the displayed items.
For example, in the following display (memory edit display), the
F1 key corresponds to “ADRS”, the F3 key to “FRQ”, and the F5
key to “Vrms”.
Note that there are slight deviations between the displayed letters
and key positions.

4.3 Functions Extended by Using the Remote Controller
The Remote Controller extends some of the PCR-LA AC power supply functions. This section describes the extended functions and how
to use them.
4.3.1 AC + DC Mode
The PCR-LA AC power supplies allow three output voltage modes,
AC, AC-S and DC. Use of the Remote Controller allows an additional
output voltage mode, AC + DC mode. The AC + DC mode is a function that superimposes DC voltage on AC voltage or vice versa.

2. Press the F5 key to activate the voltage setting mode.
Each time the F5 key is pressed, the AC voltage setting mode and
DC voltage setting mode change alternately.
In the AC voltage setting mode, “AC” blinks in the MODE display
area of the device; in the DC voltage setting mode, “DC” blinks in
the MODE display area. Use the numeric keys or JOG/SHUTTLE
to set the AC or DC output voltage. For setting using the numeric
keys, press the ENTER key to confirm the value.

4.3.2 Memory Function
The PCR-LA AC power supplies have the memory function that
stores nine sets of voltage and frequency settings in memory
addresses up to 9 and allows them to be read for output whenever
necessary. Connecting the Remote Controller to a PCR-LA AC power
supply allows the number of set values stored in the memory (memory addresses) to be extended to 99.
The Remote Controller also offers memory operation in the AC + DC
mode, allowing simultaneous output of AC and DC voltages stored in
the same memory address. For memory addresses 1 to 9, setting is
common to both the PCR-LA AC power supply and the Remote Controller.
The procedure to store data in the memory is as follows:
Memory Setting Procedure
Memory setting is available only in the Home Position.
1. Press the ESC key to call the Home Position.
2. Press the M-EDIT (SHIFT, MEN) key to enter the memory
edit mode.

NOTE
• Note that when voltage data is read from the memory in the
AC + DC mode for output, output voltage changes as follows:
An AC voltage set value (Vrms) and DC voltage set value
(Vdc) are independently stored in the memory. When they are
read, the AC voltage value (Vrms) is output slightly faster
(approximately 30 μs) than the DC voltage value (Vdc).
Therefore, output voltage changes as follows:
Example ADRS 1: Vrms = 0V, Vdc = +100V
ADRS 2: Vrms = 100V, Vdc = 0V
ADRS 3: Vrms = 0V, Vdc = +100V

4.3.4 Peak Holding Current Measurement Mode
The PCR-LA AC power supplies have the peak current display function. However, using the Remote Controller allows peak holding current display in addition to peak current display. The difference
between peak value and peak holding value measurements is as follows:
Peak Value Measurement
In peak value measurement, the peak value is cleared for every measurement cycle. The Remote Controller’s peak value measurement
measures the current peak using the analog peak holding circuit and
obtains the maximum absolute value of that data. Therefore, peak current display shows an absolute value (no positive or negative symbol).
A peak value can be measured in the AC, DC, or AC + DC mode.
