0BSAFEFY INSTRUCTION
This chapter contains important safety instructions that you must follow when operating the AC
power supply and when keeping it in storage. Read the following before any operation to insure
your safety and to keep the best condition for the instrument.
Safety Symbols
The following safety symbols may appear in this manual or on the instrument:
WARNING
Identifies conditions or practices that could result in injury or loss of
life.
CAUTION
Identifies conditions or practices that could result in damage to the
instrument or to other properties.
DANGER
High voltage
ATTENTION
Refer to the manual
Protective conductor terminal
Earth (ground) terminal
Safety Guidelines
CAUTION
Before plugging into local AC mains, check and make sure that the
output voltage is compatible to the load. (It is suggested to disconnect a
load before plugging into local AC mains.
Do not use this instrument near water.
Do not operate or touch this instrument with wet hands.
Do not open the casing of the instrument when it is connected to AC
mains.
Avoid touch the metal contact part of the output terminals.
Do not use the instrument in an atmosphere which contains sulfuric acid
mist or other substances which cause corrosion to metal.
Do not use the instrument in a dusty place or a highly humid place as
such will cause instrument reliability degradation and instrument
failures.
Install the instrument in a place where is free from vibration.

1B1. KEY POINTS TO INSTALLATION
This chapter introduces the rules of product unpacking, examination, preparation of pre-use and
storage.
6B1.1 Unpacking and Examination
1. Unpack the AC power supply and check the enclosed accessories.
2. The product is sealed in a packing case which is protected by pear brocade. If there are any
damages with the packing case, please check the AC power supply and see if there is any
deformation, scratch or panel damaged.
3. In case of any damage, please inform us or local distributor immediately. Our service center will
maintain it or replace it with a new one. However, please do not return it without a notification
to us or local distributor.
Packing list:
AC power supply: 1 unit
Operation manual: 1 pcs
7B1.2 Preparation before Use
Input Power
The input power requirements of the instrument are 220V±10% (50Hz±10%) single phase AC or
380V±10% (50Hz±10%) three phase AC. Please use a proper input power before turn on the AC
power supply, and use a fuse with same specification of the original. The fuse specification is
indicated on the rear panel of the power supply.
WARNING
Disconnect the power cord before fuse replacement.
WARNING
Always keep good connection of the grounding wire and make sure to connect
the grounding wire to the earth. The 3-pin power plug of the power supply
must be connected to a socket with grounding wire. To use a longer wire,
make sure it is perfectly grounded to the earth. When the 3-pin power plug of
the power supply is plugged into a socket with grounding wire, the power
supply has been grounded to the earth.
Operation Environment
Location: The installation sites must be away from chemical deposition, explosive material, sulfuric
acid mist or other substances which cause corrosion to metal. The installation site shall always keep
lean and dry, and free from dusty, high humidity and vibration.
Relative Humidity: < 80%
Altitude: < 2000m
Temperature: 0 ℃ to 40℃
- 2 -
8B1.3 Storage and Shipping
Environment
Location: The storage sites and transportation environment must be away from chemical deposition,
explosive material, sulfuric acid mist or other substances which cause corrosion to metal. The
installation site shall always keep lean and dry, and free from dusty, high humidity and vibration.
Relative Humidity: < 80%
Altitude: <7620m
Temperature: -20 ℃ to 55℃
The power supply must avoid extreme temperature change, because drastic temperature change will
cause vapor condensation inside the power supply.
Packing
Original Packing
Please keep all the original packing materials and pack the power supply if it must be sent back to
us for repairing. And contact our service center before returning. All the accessories included with
the power supply must be returned along with the power supply, and demonstrate the damage or
malfunction. In addition, please mark the package with a label indicating FRAGILE AND
HANDLE WITH CARE.
Other Packing
If the original packing materials are not found, please follow the following instructions to pack the
power supply:
1. Pack the power supply with bubble plastic bag or pearl brocade.
2. Put it into a multi-layer carton which can withstand a weight of 150kg.
3. Use shockproof materials to filled around the power supply with thickness of 70~100mm.
4. Seal the carton properly.
5. Marked the carton with a label indicating FRAGILE AND HANDLE WITH CARE.

14B3.4. Protections
The power supply has been designed with over voltage, over current, over load, short circuit and
current limit protections. In case of over voltage, over current, over load, short circuit or current
exceeding preset current limit, the protection circuits immediately start up and make protections. the
LCD will display “FAULT” on the upper right corner. At the same time, the beeper alarms.
In this situation, first turn off the output by pressing the POWER switch. Next check and clarify
reasons of alarming. For example, if there is over load, reduce load capacity and reset. Press RESET
key, the AC power supply can be operated again.
In case of over load or short circuit, do not press RESET key right after the alarm to reset the
settings, because this operation will have impact in the power supply machine life. The correct
operation is to turn off the output and press key RESET. Before restart the power supply, check and
make sure the load is in good condition.
15B3.5. Remote Control
RS232 interface is a standard part for TFC8000 series. A GPIB interface is also provided as an
optional part for users.
The RS232 interface is the most commonly used interface for instruments. Its hardware is a D type

4B4. FAULTS AND TROUBLE SHOOTING
Fault
No output, all panel indicators are out
Causes
No power supply input
Clear a) Check if the power switch is turned on.
b) Check if the fuse is blowout
c) Check if the power supply is correctly plugged to local AC mains, or if electricity is
out.
Fault
No voltage output, frequency meter is good, voltmeter displays “0’ and beeper alarms
Causes Over load or abnormal load
Load with over starting current
Clear
Turn off the POWER switch, press key RESET to reset the setting. Reduce load capacity.
Fault
Remote control port failure
Causes a) The remote control address, baud rate are different from the settings on the PC
b) Connector or wire problem. In this case, disconnect the instrument from the PC
c) L oose contact or jamming.
Clear
a) Make the remote control address and baud rate the same on the PC and the
instrument.
- 17 -
b) Test the signal wire between the instrument and the PC. The TXD to GND terminal
should have a voltage of -8V to -12V.
c)
The receiving data may have problems, even if the remote control port works
properly. This may be due to loose contact between the port and the cable connector.
It can also be caused by jamming from the operating environment. In this case, make
well connect of the port and the cable connector. Also, use a shielding wire and make
the shielding wire grounded to earth.
If the faults cannot be cleared, please notify our service center or local distributor.
5B5. MAITENANCE
17B5.1 Inspection
Inspect the power supply at regular intervals so that it maintains its initial performance for a
long time.
Check the input power cord for damage of the vinyl cover and overheating of the plug and cord
stopper. Check the terminal screws and binding posts for loosening.
Remove dust from the inside of the casing and ventilation holes of the cover by using a
compressed air of the exhaust air of a vacuum cleaner.
If the power supply has not been used for a long time, please power on the power supply to
warm up for two hours every three months.
18B5.2 Cleaning
Before cleaning, disconnect the AC mains.
To clean the power supply, use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild detergent and water.
Do not spray cleaner directly onto the power supply, since it may leak into the cabinet and
cause damage.
Do not use chemicals containing benzene, benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar
solvents.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on any portion of the power supply.
19B5.3 Modification
No any modifications to the circuit or the components can be made to the power supply by the users.
In case of any modifications by the users, the warranty will automatically expire with the power
supply. And we do not take any responsibility hereafter incurred. If the returned unit be found with
any modifications, we will make the power supply to the original status and charge for maintenance
service.
