USING THE PRODUCT SAFELY
WARNING
■ Warning about Power Source
●Input Power
Check the source voltage before using the PA-B series. The
product has an input voltage selector switch above the AC inlet
on the rear panel. The figure below shows the source voltage
of the PA-B series. Note that using the PA-B series on different
voltage may result in a trouble or breakdown. Check the switch,
and connect the power cable to the AC outlet.
●Power Cable
IMPORTANT: The power cable set supplied with the PA-B series
is unusable for any other product.
Using a power cable not supplied with the PA-B series may result
in electric shocks, electrocution or a fire. If the power cable set
supplied with the PA-B series is damaged, stop using the PA-B
series and contact our distributor. Using the PA-B series with
the damaged power cable may result in electric shocks,
electrocution or a fire. The power cable set supplied with the
PA-B series is to be used for 220 VAC power. Contact the
distributor if you intend to use the PA-B series on input voltage
other than 220 VAC.
●The fuse for protection
The product doesn't operate when the fuse for input protection is
blown. Users can replace the fuse by themselves according to
some instructions including cautions and remarks on the user’s
manual. It is important to be very careful to keep the instructions
strictly without fail. Misplacing may cause danger of fire.

USING THE PRODUCT SAFELY
WARNING
■ Warning item on grounding
The product has the GND terminal on the panel surface to protect
the user from electric shock and protect the product. Be sure to
ground the product to safely use it.
■ Warning item on abnormality while in use
If smoke or fire is generated from the product while in use, stop using
the product, turn off the switch, and remove the power cord plug
from the outlet. After confirming that no other devices catch fire,
call the company or our distributor.
CAUTION
■ Connection of Remote Control Input and Output Terminals
＊The maximum input rating of the remote control input and
output terminals is determined in order to avoid damages to the
product. Do not input or output voltage/current exceeding the
rating described in the instruction manual. Excessive input or
output may cause a trouble or breakdown of the product.
＊When the voltage or current is controlled according to external
voltage, the negative (-) side of the external voltage unit is
connected with the -S output terminal of the PA-B series. Use
the output circuit of the external voltage unit in the condition
where it is floated from the frame in order to avoid accidents or
malfunctioning.
When several power supply units are used for a remote control
application, each external power supply unit must be floated.
＊The negative (-) side of the voltage/current monitor terminal is
internally connected with the -S terminal. Use the input circuit
of the external measuring instrument in the condition where it is
floated from the frame in order to avoid accidents or
malfunctioning.

USING THE PRODUCT SAFELY
CAUTION
■ Input/output terminal
Maximum input to the input terminals is specified to prevent the
product from being damaged.
Do not supply input, exceeding the specifications that are
indicated in the "Rating" or "Caution on use" column in this
manual of the product. Otherwise, a product failure is caused.
Also, do not supply power to the output terminals from the
outside. Otherwise, a product failure is caused.
■ When the product is left unused for a long time
Be sure to remove the power plug from the outlet.
<Calibration>
Although the performance and specifications of the product are
checked under strict quality control during shipment from the
factory, they may slightly change because of secular changes in
its parts. It is recommended to periodically calibrate the product
so that it is used with its performance and specifications stable.
For consultation about the product calibration, call the distributor
or the company where you bought the product.
<Daily maintenance>
When you clean off the dirt of the product covers, panels, and
knobs, avoid solvents such as thinner and benzene. Otherwise,
paint may peel off or the resin surface may be affected.
To wipe off the covers, panels, and knobs, use a soft cloth with
neutral detergent in it.
During cleaning, be careful that water, detergents, and other
foreign matters do not get into the product.
If a liquid or metal gets into the product, an electric shock and fire
are caused. During cleaning, remove the power cord plug from
the outlet.
Use the product correctly and safely, observing the above warning
and caution items.
Because this manual indicates caution items even in individual
items, observe those caution items to correctly use the product.
If you have questions or comments about the content of this manual,
call the distributor or the company.

1．OUTLINE AND FEATURES
The PA-B series is a high-performance DC constant-voltage, constantcurrent power supply unit with 3 1/2-digit voltage indicator LEDs
and 3-digit current indicator LEDs. The series regulator control
allows the user to vary the output from 0 to the rated output. The
output controller, a 10-turn winding type variable resistor, offers fine
control of output voltage and current. It is possible to set the
output voltage and current even when the output is off. The output
voltage and current may be checked on digital indicators simultaneously.
The PA-B series are high-cost-performance power supply units with
output On/Off, output sensing and various remote control functions
and fully meet various users' needs. They have a wide variety of
applications such as power supplies for researches and
development, power supplies for aging, and fixed power supplies
for many systems according to purposes.
- Low-Ripple and Low-Noise Power Supply Unit
The series regulator control system eliminates ripples and noises
to quite low levels and provides low temperature coefficient and
superior electrical performances.
- Simultaneous Voltage and Current Digital Display LEDs
3 1/2-digit automatic-range voltage indicator LEDs (fixed range
indicators on the PA18-1.2B, PA18-2B, PA18-3B, PA18-5B,
PA120-0.6B and PA160-0.4B) and 3-digit current indicator LEDs
enable simultaneous check and setting of the voltage and current.
The LEDs give indications in green in the constant-voltage mode
and in red in the constant-current mode.
- Increased Output in Series/Parallel Operation
Series connection increases the output voltage (except the
PA350-0.2B, and PA600-0.1B). Parallel connection increases the
output current. One-control parallel connection allows control of
several slave power supply units from a single master power supply unit.
- With Floating Output/Voltage Remote Sensing Terminal
The output terminal is a floating type terminal and may be used in
the positive or negative polarity. A voltage remote sensing
terminal is provided on the front panel for fine control of the load
terminal voltage (except the PA80-1B, PA120-0.6B, PA160-0.4B,
PA250-0.25B, PA250-0.42B, PA350-0.2B and PA600-0.1B).
- Various Remote Control Terminals for Systematization
The PA-B series have various remote control terminals, which
allow the output to be turned on or off or fixed using external
contact signals and the output voltage or current to be
remote-controlled according to external voltage (0 to 10 V) or input
resistance (0 Ω to 10 kΩ).
