6000 Series
1. Overview
This 6000 Series Direct Current (DC) Power Supply Operation Manual contains an introduction to the power
supply, a description of its functions, the operation procedure, the scope of applications and its specifications.
The models available under this series are the 6302A, 6302AR, 6302D, 6302DR, 6303A, 6303AR, 6303D,
6303DR, 6306A, 6306AR, 6306D, 6306DR, 6603A, 6603AR, 6603D, and 6603DR.
1.1 Introduction
The 6000 Series is a dual-channel-output DC power supply with the following features:
• Twin power output with tracking function for automatic selection of parallel or serial connectio n
• Short-circuit protection against external input while providing constant voltage and constant current
• Allows serial or parallel connection with the same power supply model
• 5V/5A constant-voltage output
Special Functions on Remote Models
The following functions are available only on the remote models 6302AR, 6302DR, 6303AR, 6303DR,
6306AR, 6306DR, 6603AR and 6603DR:
• Control of output voltage and current using external voltage and resistor
• Output voltage readback
• Output current readback
• Random master or slave combinatio n
1.2 Unpacking and Checking
Unpack and check that you have the following items:
• One power cable
• This Operation Manual
• Remote-Control Operation Manual (remote models only)
