3. Operation
3.1 Pre-installation
Before you turn on the power:
•Check that the input voltage from your power source conforms to the voltage rating selected.
Refer to Input Voltage Selector in section 2.2. The tolerance is +
at 50/60 Hz.
•Place this power supply in a well-ventillated area and do not block the ventillation holes. Poor
heat dissipation leads to overheating which may cause unstable operation and shorten the
service life of this equipment.
•Be sure to use the correct fuse for your model. Refer to Table 1 for the type of fuse you
should use for a given voltage.
3.2 Setting the Output Voltage and Output Current
To set the output voltage and current, follow these steps:
10% of the indicated voltage
1. Check that the total load to be connected does not exceed the maximum output voltage and
current of this power supply.
2. Open the circuit between the + and the - output terminals. Turn the voltage adjustment knob
clockwise to the desired output voltage rating.
3. Turn the current adjustment knob counterclockwise to get the minimum value.
4. Short the circuit between the + and the - output terminals. Note that the current rating of the
shorting wire should be greater than or equal to the required current.
5. Turn the current adjustment knob clockwise until the current indicator on the front panel
displays the required current rating.
6. Remove the shorting wire from the + and the - output terminals. The power supply returns to
the constant voltage mode and is ready to use.

3.3 Constant Voltage/Constant Current Characteristics
This power supply operates automatically between constant voltage (C. V. mode) and constant current
(C. C. mode) by responding quickly to rapid load changes. The following figures shows the relative
changes between the constant current and the constant voltage modes.

3.4 Operation Modes
3.4.1 Serial
Serial connection allows the connection of two or more power supplies serially to obtain a higher
voltage rating (maximum 240V for this power supply).
For serial connection, it is recommended that all power supplies operate under the constant voltage
(C.V.) mode.
Figure 4 shows the serial connection between two 3303D power supplies. One unit is set at 30V/2A
and the other at 20V/3A. Figure 5 shows the serial connection voltage/current output versus load
changes.

3.4.2 Parallel
Parallel connection only allows thr connection of two or more power supplies of the same model to
obtain a higher current rating (maximum 24A for this power supply).
Figure 6 shows the parallel connection of two 3303D power supplies. One unit is set at 30V/3A and
the other at 20V/2.5A. Figure 7 shows the parallel connection voltage/current output versus load
changes.
NOTE: The difference between the voltage settings for two or more power supplies of the same
model connected in parallel should not exceed 15V. The minimum voltage setting should
not be lower than 10V. If it is necessary to be lower than 10V, the voltage difference
should be less than 2V. The closer to 0V the smaller the difference required.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Changing the Fuse
The fuse is located inside the input power fuse holder (refer to Figure 2). You need to change the
fuse when:
• the fuse is blown out
• you change the voltage rating
In any case, replace the fuse with one of the same rating. Refer to Table 1 for the type of fuse used for
each model and voltage.
NOTE: Unplug the power cord before you change the fuse.
4.2 Changing the Voltage
To change the voltage, follow these steps:
1. Use a flathead screwdriver to detach the Input Power Fuse Holder and Input Voltage Selector
unit (refer to Figure 2).
2. Turn the unit so that the desired input voltage is positioned above the
4. Check that the fuse to conform to this new voltage rating. Refer to Table 1 below for the
correct fuse rating.
5. Replace the Input Power Fuse Holder and Input Voltage Selector unit.
