3. Installation
Before using the power supply ARGOS a power cord has to be plugged in to the AC input (TB1) of the rear panel of the power supply. The power cord should at least support 7A load. The ARGOS supply is immediately operational after powering up and a soft start time of approx. 3sec. The warmup time, at room temperature, in order to reach the high stability specifications is negligible.
Note: The outputs of the power source should not be connected to A C-sources, DC-sources with reverse polarity or Dcsources with higher voltage than 1.2 x U inevitable (e.g. charging batteries, paralleling power sources or working with heavy inductive loads), the customer must assure proper safety measures.
If such an operating mode is
nominal
4. Constant voltage mode with current limiting
This mode of operation is reached when the LED indicator ‘‘CV’’ illuminates. Because of the high stability of ARGOS it is possible to adjust accurately the output voltage to several decades. For this an adequate digital voltmeter should be used. The local adjustment is performed using the voltage control knob ‘‘VOLTAGE’’. The adjustment to the desired and limited current is achieved by short-circuiting the output and using the currentlimiting control knob while reading the display.
5. Constant current mode with voltage limiting
This mode of operation is reached when the LED indicator ‘‘CC’’ illuminates. The height of the constant current is locally adjusted using the current control knob ‘‘CURRENT’’. The lower limit for the constant current operation is ≤100mA.
It is important to be careful, particularly when working with small output currents, since the charging or discharging currents of the output capacitor affects the constant current depending on the charging condition of the output capacitor under dynamic loading condition.
The output voltage to be maximum limited is adjusted by using the voltage control knob and reading the display.
6. Remote sensing
Unavoidable voltage drops across the output terminals and the load lines can be compensated by including sensing leads in conjunction with the load. However it is important to make sure not to exceed a voltage drop of 1V or 1% from rated Voltage 1) per load line.
Circuit configuration
1. Jumpers between +V and +S and between -V and -S (terminal TB2 on the rear panel) are opened
2. The load leads (+V,-V) are linked to the output terminals of the supply and the sensing leads to the sensing terminals and then connected accordingly to the load.
NOTE
The +V, -V terminals at TB2 are not appropriate as power source ! When using the ARGOS power supply with interrupted sensing leads, the specified data can no longer be fulfilled. However the power supplies are internally protected so that no damage will result even with opened S-leads. When using long sensing leads it is recommended to use shielded cables. When proceeding with interrupted sensing leads the display will show approx. 2V or 2% from rated Voltage 1) less than the actual output voltage. The current display gives always the true value.
1) whichever greater
Argos 1200 Page 7 von 16 ISSUE 07/05
7. External programming
The output voltage, current and OV protection can be adjusted externally with programming voltages. The voltage and current can also be adjusted by means of resistance programming.
7.1 External voltage programming
The programming voltage source is connected with its minus lead to TB4-8 and its plus lead to TB4-15. To activate the external mode the switch ‘‘EXTERN’’ is pushed. The yellow LED indicatior illuminates if the external mode is active. The programming voltage may have values between 0 and + 10V. The output voltage is linear and proportional to the programming voltage. The load for the auxiliary source is 150µA.
NOTE
1. When the programming line is interrupted during operation, the output voltage drops to zero.
2. When using long programming leads it is recommended to use shielded cable in order to prevent external distortions. It is also recommended to apply accordingly blocking capacitors to the terminals in case of oscillation due to the inductivity of long programming leads.
3. Ripple, stability and Tc of ARGOS depends on the auxiliary source specifications.
7.2 RVP (Resistance Voltage Programming)
The output voltage can be externally programmed using a 0 to 10 kOhm resistance. The configuration is shown here under.
TB3-8
TB3-14
Rprog
0...10kOhm
TB3-15
The output of the power supply is : Vout = (Rprog/10) x Vmax Rprog in kOhm; Vout, Vmax in volt
NOTE:
a) In order to prevent stability fault it is recommended to use oversized resistors (eg. 2W) with a Tc of <=20ppm/¦C.
b) During RVP mode the sliding switch S1 on the rear panel must be positioned on the right side and the ‘‘EXTERN’’ switch on the frontpanel in the position INTERN (not pushed).
c) With Rprog = 12kOhm will Vout = 1.2xVmax
d) In case Rprog>20kOhm (interruption), the output voltage is programmed to zero.
e) RVP and Tracking modes are effective simultaneously. The output voltage always results from the highest programmed value. If no voltage is on TB3-5 (TRACKING) the RVP mode is not influenced by the tracking mode (see Tracking mode).
f) When the sliding switch S1 is in the left position the output voltage is adjusted with the control on the frontpanel. In this case Rprog has to be removed.
Argos 1200 Page 8 von 16 ISSUE 07/05
7.3 External current programming
The auxiliary programming voltage is connected as following : minus to TB 4-14, plus to TB 4-6. When the EXTERNAL switch is pushed and the EXTERNAL mode active, the yellow LED indicator illuminates. The programming voltage may have values between 0 and + 10V. The output current results in a linear and proportional manner from the programming voltage. Load for the auxiliary source is 150µA.
NOTE
1. When the programming line is interrupted during operation, the output current drops to zero.
2. When using long programming leads it is recommended to use shielded cable in order to prevent external distortions. It is also recommended to apply accordingly blocking capacitors to the terminals in case of oscillation due to the inductivity of long programming leads.
3. Ripple, stability and Tc of ARGOS depends on the auxiliary source specifications.
7.4 RCP (Resistance Current Programming)
The output current can be programmed externally by means of a 0 to 20 KOhm resistance. The configuration is as following:
TB3-3
TB3-11
Rprog 0.....20kOhm
Shield
The output current is :
Iout=(Rprog/20)xImax Rprog in kOhm Iout, Imax, in Ampere
NOTE
a) In order to prevent stability fault it is recommended to use oversized resistors (eg. 2W) with a Tc of <=20ppm/¦C.
b) During RCP mode the sliding switch S2 on the rear panel must be positioned on the right side and the ‘‘EXTERN’’ switch on the frontpanel in the position ‘‘INTERN’’ (not pushed).
c) When Rprog>=20KOhm (interruption), the output current will only be limited to about
1.2xImax by the primary current limiting of the inverter. In this case however the CC LED on the frontpanel will not illuminate.
Argos 1200 Page 9 von 16 ISSUE 07/05
7.5 External OV-programming
NOTE
The regulation board is delivered with a short circuit jumper BR301, located close to the relay. In this way it is also possible in ‘‘EXTERNAL’’ mode to adjust OV internaly. For external OV programming the jumper BR301 must be removed.
The auxiliary programming voltage is connected as following : minus pole to TB 4-14, plus pole to TB 4-5. When the EXTERNAL switch is pushed and the EXTERNAL mode active, the yellow LED indicator illuminates. The programming voltage may have values between 0 and + 12V. The OV threshold results in a linear and proportinal manner from the programming voltage
(0....120%). Load for the auxiliary source is 250µA.
7.6
If only one output parameter is to be programmed, it is possible to adjust the non-programmed parameter to the maximum value. In order to achieve this, the non-programmed input (TB4-15 or TB4-6) is connected with the 10V REF output (TB3-4). The 10V REF auxiliary voltage may be loaded to max 15mA and is shortcircuit proof.
7.7 Remote ON/OFF
The power supply can be switched on and off using a relay contact or a logic signal. Contact will be established between TB 3-6 and TB 3-14 and loaded with 5mA. The logic signal is high-active and should have a high level between 3.5 and 15 V and a low level under 0.8V. Load of the auxiliary signal is about 10KOhm. The connection of the logic signal is between TB4-14 (GND) and TB4-10 (active).
NOTE:
The power switch must be ON
Argos 1200 Page 10 von 16 ISSUE 07/05
8. Overvoltage protection
ARGOS power supplies are factory equipped with an adjustable threshold overvoltage protection. The threshold maximum value is 120% of the maximum adjustable output voltage (e.g. 48V for ARGOS 40-25).
Minimum spacing of threshold to output voltage approx. 0.5V.
8.1 Treshold adjustment:
1. OV control (described as OV adjust on frontpanel) is to be turned clockwise with a screw­driver until it stops (highest Threshold)
2. Power-up device and adjust output voltage to the desired value of threshold.
3. Turn back the OV control until the LED indicator in the OV-RES button illuminates.
4. Turn back somewhat the adjustment of OV, power device down, then one more time power up and by slowly turning up the voltage check the value of threshold.
Important
Should the threshold be over the maximum adjustable output voltage of device, a short-circuit proof auxiliary voltage ( corresponding to the desired threshold) is to be applied on the load terminal.
8.2 OV RESET:
After an activation of the overvoltage circuit, it remains triggered until a RESET signal occurs. The OV RESET signal can be generated using a relay contact or a logic signal. Contact will be established between TB 3-7 and TB 3-14. The logic signal is high-active and should have a high level between 3.5 and 15 V and a low level under 0.8V. Load of the auxiliary signal is about 10KOhm. The connection of the logic signal is between TB4-11 (GND) and TB4-9 (active). In case the contact is always closed or the logic signal permanently high, the overvoltage protection circuit will be ineffective.
CAUTION:
A built-in OV-thyristor (optional), should not be exposed to a permanent current. When an active load is connected (e.g. accumulator) a redundant diode is to be used between device and load. In this case the sensing compensation is only possible if the total voltage drop on the sensing lead and the redundant diode is <2V (2%).
Argos 1200 Page 11 von 16 ISSUE 07/05
9. Series operation
Series operation of ARGOS power supplies enable a higher output voltage, however the total output voltage should not exceed 300V. Besides it is to be noted that a voltage drop due to the connecting lines is generated according to the current load. For an accurate regulation the following configuration is to be respected.

1.1 For ARGOS 1, Jumper between -S and –V
1.2 For ARGOS 2, jumpers between -S and -V, also between +S and +V
9.2 Connections
2.1 ARGOS 2 +V load terminal to the plus pole of load (wire with sufficient cross section>/=5A/mm²)
2.2 ARGOS 1 -V load terminal to minus pole of load (cross section >/=5A/mm²)
2.3 ARGOS 2 -V load terminal to ARGOS 1 +V load terminal (cross section >/=5A/mm²)
2.4 ARGOS 2 +S to plus pole of load
2.5 ARGOS 2 -S to ARGOS 1 +S
2.6 ARGOS 1-S to minus pole of load
The output voltages are adjusted via the corresponding ‘‘VOLTAGE’’ Pots.. The total output voltage is the sum of the two adjusted voltages. When the current limit values are not equal, the higher value applies as valid total current limit. When one ARGOS surpasses its current limit it will deliver no energy anymore and will have a small negative voltage (< 1V) at its load terminal. Because none of the two ARGOS measures the total voltage, an overvoltage protection function (OVP) is not possible. In order to obtain an even load distribution it is recommended to adjust the ‘‘VOLTAGE’’ and ‘‘CURRENT’’ control of both ARGOS in such a way that they display an equal voltage. Devices should be switched on and off simultaneously.
Argos 1200 Page 12 von 16 ISSUE 07/05
10. Parallel operation
If higher output currents are required it is possible to have the ARGOS power supplies operate in a parallel manner.
10.1 Simple output load terminals connection
Please note the following :
In order to get an even load current distribution, both ARGOS power supplies have to be adjusted to the same output voltage prior to connecting the output load terminals. The connecting cables should be as short as possible and with corresponding cross section. Because it is not possible to ensure a simultaneously switch off of the devices in case of an over voltage, decoupling diodes should be used. In that case a sensing compensation is not possible (see also point 8).
If an accurate regulation in necessary an Auto-Load-Share Parelling operation is to be configured (point 10.2).

The resistor R1 should be oversized (eg. 2W) with a Tc of 20ppm/°C.
NOTE:
a) In tracking mode the slave ARGOS is to be set in RVP mode. (S1 right, EXTERN not pushed). However a programming resistor is not connected, consequently RVP programming is set to zero. Because the output voltage results from the highest programmed value, the tracking mode affects the total output voltage range.
b) The slave output voltage always results from the one of the master, independently of the operation mode of the later, except if the current limiting or the OV protection of the slave ARGOS is activated.

12. Monitor and status outputs
12.1 Monitor outputs
The output voltage and current can be read via two analog signals. Those signals are proportional with the output parameters and are rated to + 10V. They are marked ‘‘V-Monitor’’ (TB 4-7) and ‘‘I-Monitor’’ (TB 4-13) and measured against TB 4-14. Both monitor ouputs may be loaded with max. 10mA.
12.2 Status signals
Both status output are ‘‘open-collector’’ outputs, related to TB 4-8 and may be loaded with max. 100mA. Outputs are ‘‘low’’ active. If device works in constant current mode, the CC status output (TB 4-1) is always active. The OV status output (TB 4-2) is active if the OV protection circuit has turned offthe power supply and remains active until the OV button is pushed or a OV-RESET signal is applied.
ARGOS is equipped with a 2 step temperature control circuit. Whenever the temperature of the Power-Mosfet´s approx. surpasses 65°C, the fan is switched to a faster speed. If the Mosfet­temperature surpasses approx. 100°C an acoustic signal is generated and the OT LED indicator illuminates (red). Simultaneously the output power is slowly diminished. During this state only the MOSFET’s temperature (approx. 85°C) is regulated. The LED indicators CV and CC do not light up as ARGOS under such conditions can not full fill the specifications. This status is not latched and after the Mosfet´s are cooled the ARGOS goes back in a normal operation mode (CC or CV).
14. APPENDIX
Please note followings :
IEEE-488 / RS 232 INTERFACE ( OPT 34 ) Starting with Series Nr.: 907785 an automatic switching from " INTERN " to " EXTERN " is implemented. If the BUS activates the IEEE-Interface, the powersupply switches automatically in " Extern / Remote " mode. The command "LOCAL" switches then automatically back to " INTERN " mode. For the RS 232 Interface the command " B1 " must be sent in order to switch in " EXTERN / REMOTE " mode. The command " B 0 " switches back to " INTERN " mode. For the “IEE-488” interface, if the connection with the bus is interrupted, the power supply switches back to “INTERN” mode. For the RS232 interface, an interruption causes no automatic switching. The commands “B1” and “B0” may besent over the IEEE-488 bus too. If the command “B1” was sent, a disconnection from the IEEE-488 bus will not cause automatic switching back to “INTERN”.
