BEFORE USING THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT
Pay attention to all warnings and cautions before using the unit. Incorrect usage could lead to an electrical
shock, damage to the unit or a fire hazard.
WARNING and CAUTION
Do not modify.
Do not touch the internal components, they may have high voltage or high temperature. You may get
electrical shock or burned.
When the unit is operating, keep your hands and face away from it as you may be injured by flying debris in
the event of a fault.
This power supply is designed for use within an end product. Stick the WARNING label for users on the
system equipment and notify in the system instruction manual.
Never operate the unit under over current or short-circuit conditions for more than 30 seconds or outside its
specified Input Voltage Range, which could result in damage. There is no possibility of fire or burning.
Confirm connections to input/output terminals are correct as indicated in the instruction manual.
This power supply has a possibility for hazardous voltage to appear at output terminal depending on the type
of failure. The outputs of these products must be earthed in the end equipment to maintain SELV.
If the outputs are not earthed, they must be considered hazardous and must not be made user accessible.
Note: CE MARKING
CE marking, when applied to the GWS series products, indicates compliance with the Low Voltage Directive
(2006/95/EC) in that it complies with EN60950-1 2nd Edition.

4. Explanation of Functions and Precautions
4-1. Input Voltage Range
Input voltage range is single phase 85 ~ 264VAC (47 ~ 63Hz) or 125 ~ 373VDC.
Input voltage which is out of specification, may damage the unit. For cases where conformance to various
safety specs(UL,CSA,EN) are required, input voltage range will be 100~240VAC (50/60Hz ).
Note : GWS250 series is able to withstand Input Surge of 300VAC for 5 seconds.
4-2. Output Voltage Range
V.ADJ trimmer is for output voltage adjustment within the range of specifications. Turning the trimmer clockwise will
increase the output voltage. Kindly note that over voltage protection ( OVP ) function may trigger if the output voltage is
increased excessively. Please ensure that the output power is below the rated output power, and output current is below
the maximum output current (12V & 48V) or below the peak output current (24V & 36V) when output voltage is raised.
TDK-Lambda
GWS 2
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
50
Series
4-3. Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The OVP function will shutdown the output. To reset OVP, remove the input of power supply for a few minutes, and
then re-input. Alternatively, use CNT reset (Remote ON/OFF: OFF to ON). OVP setting is fixed and cannot be adjusted
externally.
4-4. Over Current Protection (OCP)
OCP function operates when the output current exceeds OCP specifications. OCP characteristic is constant current
limiting for 24V ~ 48V while 12V has hiccup mode. The output will automatically recover when the overload condition
is removed. Do not operate overload or dead short conditions for more than 30 seconds, which could result in damage.
There is no possibility of fire or burning. OCP setting is fixed and not to be adjusted externally.
4-5. Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
Over Temperature Protection function (manual reset type) is available. When ambient or internal temperature rises
abnormally, OTP function will shut down the output. To recover the unit, first shut down the AC input and let the unit
cool down before turning ON the AC input. Alternatively, use CNT reset (Remote ON/OFF: OFF to ON) after letting the
unit cool down.
As for the /T option model, the unit automatically recovers after it cools down without the need for AC recycle or CNT
reset.

4-6. Low Output Detection Circuit (DC_OK)
Low output voltage detection circuit is provided. DC okay (DC_OK) signal will turn “High” level to indicate abnormal
status when the output voltage becomes less than approximately 80% of rated value caused by either the drop or
brownout of the input voltage or OCP, OVP and OTP function generation. It uses the open collector method as shown
below
TDK-Lambda
GWS 2
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
50
Series
4-7. Remote ON/OFF Control
Remote ON/OFF control is provided.
Using this function, output on/off is allowed to be controlled without input voltage on/off. The output is turned ON when
CNT+ and CNT- terminals are shorted, while the output is turned OFF when these terminals are opened. When this
function is not used, connect CNT+ and CNT- terminals together. The standards for this function are as follows
(1) TTL compatible.
(2) The maximum input voltage to CNT+ terminal is 12V, and the maximum allowable reverse voltage is -1V.
(3) The sink current for CNT+ terminal is 3.5mA.
(4) A switch or a relay or a transistor or a FET can be used as ON/OFF switch.
The /RL option model reverses the logic of the remote ON/OFF function.

4-8. Output Ripple & Noise
Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz by using a 300mm twisted pair of load wires terminated with a 0.1uF film
capacitor & 47uF electrolytic capacitor. When load lines are longer, ripple becomes larger. The output ripple cannot be
measured accurately if the probe ground lead of oscilloscope is too long. At low temperature, large ripple & noise may
also be observed due to large ESR of the internal Electrolytic Capacitors especially at -25°C.

The Output Derating with external fan depends on the airflow conditions and the temperature rise for the components.
The method stipulated below provide a way to decide for the safe operation of this power supply. As shown, this table
provides a list of the maximum temperature allowed for specified components. The component temperature is measured
according to IEC60950-1 2nd edition Clause 4.5.
Maximum rated temperature for these components are taken from the component specification provided by the original
manufacturers. These are the worse case allowable temperature.
Temperature is measured using thermal couple K-type, and using CYANOACRYLATE adhesive or equivalent to secure
to the hottest point of these components.
In order to decide the worse case temperature rise, the selected measurement point should not face direct airflow and the
equipment powered should operate under worse case operating conditions.
*1. Absolute temperature (Maximum temperature) during normal operating conditions.
Higher temperature will probably cause shorter life span for the power supply.
Please refer to the component side layout drawing below for temperature measurement.
Airflow should cool down all the components evenly.
