3

and current resolution as entirely meeting customer's demanding.

5) OVP (over voltage protection), OCP (over current protection) and OPP

(over power protection) and key lock functions

The over voltage protection (OVP), over current protection (OCP) and over
power protection (OPP) features limit the maximum output current and
voltage to avoid damages to the test objectives when doing
experimentations in a laboratory. The key lock feature disables all keys
except the CLR key. It prevents DS3640/DS6024/DS8018/DS10014 from
the accidentally wrong setting and then avoids the damages to the target.

6) Series & parallel connection mode

The series-parallel connection mode of two or more units (maximum to 4
units) largely increases product’s power-supplying capability. Under the
parallel connection mode of four DS3640 the maximum output is
36V/160A; and under the cascaded connection mode of four DS10014, the
maximum output is 400V/14.4A. Power supplied under these two modes

3.7 Preheating Time

All movements of this product will activate at the same time when the power
is on. However, to reach the specified equipment accuracy, please preheat it
for at least 30 minutes.

3.8 End test

When testing is over and not to be restarted for a while, or when this product
isn’t under use, or user needs to leave during operation, be sure to turn the
power switch on the panel to OFF position as to turn off the power. After
power switch is turned to OFF position, the inner fans will still run for a few
seconds to carry on the inside electric capacitor discharge process per safety
code requirement. Once the discharge process is complete, this product will
make automatic shut-down in response.

3.9 Cautions in Operation

A. While under cascaded connection mode, each DS3640/DS6024/DS8018/
DS10014 shall be in power-on state and output shall be "ON". In case

there is any one DS3640/DS6024/DS8018/DS10014 is in power-off state
or output is "OFF", the associated output current will flow over the
output bypass diode of the power-off unit and burn it out.

B. While under parallel connection mode, the output voltage of each

DS3640/DS6024/DS8018/DS10014 shall be set to equal. If the setting
value of each unit is not the same, the higher output voltage will feed
back to the smaller unit and destroy its inner parts.

C. When the AC input voltage is lower than the full-load voltage which is

100 Vac, DS3640/DS6024/DS8018/DS10014 will activate an inner
overtemperature protector and cut off the output in response. To ensure
that the entire test process can be complete smoothly, confirm that the
input AC voltage is within the specified range.
