disturbances and preventing excessive EMI emissions and current harmonics. The integrated EMI filter attenuates high frequency current emissions to levels below EN55022 class B. It also provides dual pole fusing, one fuse in each conductor and protection from line disturbances as outlined in EN61000.

Inrush current is controlled by a resistive element upon initial connection to the AC line. Once the internal capacitances have been charged, the resistive element is bypassed to reduce losses.

Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) is used to ensure an accurate input current waveform with extremely low harmonic content, exceeding the requirements of EN61000. This stage also provides active input current limiting which prevents overloading of the input stage while maintaining high power factor.

The output of the PFC stage charges the hold-up electrolytic capacitors which store enough energy to allow the VCCM600 configured product to continue operating during minor line disturbances. Long lifetime and high temperature capacitors are used which ensures extended lifetime and product reliability.

A highly efficient zero voltage switching circuit is used to drive the isolated transformer from the hold-up capacitors. The output modules connect to the transformer secondary and provide safe isolated power to a high performance synchronous rectifier power converter. This power converter is controlled using the latest analog control technology to produce superior output performance in a miniature size.

Input Module Operation

Startup & Shut Down

The VCCM input module operates from a universal input voltage range and s tarts automatically upon application of adequate AC mains voltage (>84Vrms). After a short delay, the global 5V bias supply starts and the ACOK signal goes high to indicate that the mains voltage is present and input stage is operating correctly. Once the ACOK signal is high, the output modules turn on and deliver power to the application loads. The power good signals will indicate that the output voltages are within specification. The diagram bel ow shows the normal start up/shut down sequence and gives typical timings.

Typical timing values at 120Vac 600W 25°C: t

When the AC mains voltage is removed, the internal hold-up capacitors will supply power to the load for typically 20 ms (t4+t5) at maximum power. The ACOK signal will go low at least 5ms before the output voltages fall below the power good threshold level. This allows the application to prepare for the impending loss of power. The 5V bias supply will remain on for typically 100ms, after the output modules have turned off.

*Output modules that are adjusted above nominal voltage, will have reduced ACOK warning time.

Standby control

The unit may be completely shut down by shorting (<10Ω) the terminals of J2. The unit will restart once the short is released. The control uses transformer coupled pluses to detect the short and is fully isolated to 2xMOPP. The voltage present on J2 ranges from +3.3V to -0.8V with a peak current of 15mA. In active mode, the control is pulsed every 1.3mS while in standby mode the control is pulsed every 400mS. A signal MOSFET or switch may be used to activate this control. This shutdown will not generate the ACOK warning signal.

Programmable start-up state

The start-up and standby control logic can be inverted by shorting J11 with a jumper. The functionality is shown in the table below.

Hold-up

For short line distubances (<20ms), the output voltages will not be affected*. However, the ACOK signal may still go low to warn that there is an impending loss of output power. The ACOK signal will return to the high state once the unit has recovered from the disturbance.

*Output modules that are adjusted above the hold-up voltage (as detailed in their respective datasheets), may experience a dip in voltage.

No Load Power/Standby Power Consumption

The no-load power consumption of the VCCM600 series PSU is extremely low when compared to similar configurable power supplies. With the output modules enabled the unit typically only requires less than 15W with no output load. To reduce the no-load power further the outputs can be disabled using the inhibit pins. With the outputs disabled the unit typically requires less than 10W. When the unit is in the standby (latched off) state, the power consumption is less than 1W.

Peak Power capability

The input module can provide a peak output power of up to 750W for a period of up to 5 seconds, provided the input current remains below the over current protection threshold. Peaks of power lower than 750W can be supported for longer times provided the excess watt-seconds are equivalent. For example, 750W peak for 5 seconds is an excess power of 150W*5s = 750Ws. 650W can be supported for 750Ws/50W = 15s. When using peak power capability, the user must ensure the average power remains within ratings. Note that input module de-ratings apply to both rated power and peak power.

Input Module Protections

Over current protection (OCP)

The input module is protected from excessive input current by means of an over current protection circuit which limits the input current to approximately 7Arms. If the OCP threshold is exceeded the unit may shut down and attempt to automatically restart. This shutdown will generate the usual ACOK warning.

Under voltage protection (UVP) & Brown-Out Protection (BOP)

The input module is protected from excessively low input voltages by under voltage and brown out protection circuits that senses the input line voltage. The under-voltage protection circuit maintains the unit in standby mode until the input voltage rises above the UVP threshold as detailed in the datasheet. Once the unit is active, the brown out protection monitors the input voltage and shuts down the unit when input voltage goes below approximately 60Vrms. This shutdown will generate the usual ACOK warning. The unit will restart once the input voltage increases above the UVP threshold.

Over Temperature Protection (OTP)

The input module is protected from excessive temperatures by means of various internal temperature sensors. If temperature thresholds are exceeded the entire unit may latch off, with no ACOK warning. To re-enable the unit, it must be allowed to cool, then either disconnect the AC mains for approximately 20 seconds, or toggle the standby control on J2.

Over Power Protection (OPP)

The input module is protected from excessive power by means of an over power protection circuit. Should the rated power be exceeded the unit will shut down and attempt to recover automatically. This shutdown will not generate the usual ACOK warning.

Power Ratings

VCCM600 series products must always be operated within stated operating limits. Equipment manufacturers and other users must take the appropriate de-rating into account when specifying a unit for the intended application. If in doubt, contact your sales representative or Vox Power for assistance.

There are three main de-ratings for the VCCM600 series of configurable power supplies when used in a conduction cooled application,

1. Ambient air temperature

Ambient air temperature de-ratings apply to the input module rated and peak power only.

(3)

The input module must be de-rated by 2.5% per degree Celsius above 50°C, up to a maximum of 70°C.

2. Basep late temper ature

Baseplate temperature de-ratings apply to output module rated power, peak power and rated current, and bias supply power.

The output module parameters must be de-rated by 2.5% per degree Celsius above 85°C, up to a maximum of 105°C.

3. Input li ne voltage

Input line voltage de-ratings apply to the rated power and peak power for both the input module and output module.

All parameters must be de-rated by 2.5% for every 3 volts below 120Vrms, down to a minimum of 85Vrms.

Notes:

1. Ambient air temperature is the air temperature immediately surrounding the PSU.

2. Baseplate temperature is measured at baseplate temperature sensing location TS1.

3. A normalized value of 1 is equivalent to 100%.

Specifying the VCCM600 product for convection or forced air cooling

To specify a VCCM600 ser ies product for an end application, the required output power, minimum input line voltage, maximum ambient, mounting orientation and air flow rate (if applicable) should be determined. Check the requirements against the closest characteristic plot from the tables above to ensure ratings can be achieved. Be conservative when specifying the product as convection and forced air cooling can be highly dependent on the end application enclosure and power supply mounting. The estimated performance must be verified in the end application and temperatures may exceed predicted levels. It is also important to note that ambient temperature refers to the ambient temperature immediately surrounding the PSU. If the PSU is mounted within an enclosure the enclosure ambient temperature is likely to be higher than the external air ambient temperature.

Evaluating the VCCM600 product in the end application

To ensure the product is operating within its ratings in the end application the following procedure should be performed during the design stage.

1. Install a thermocouple in position TS1 of the product. (See Mechanical dimensions and mounting for details.) The thermocouple wire should exit on the top side between slots 2 and 3. The bottom side should be flush for heatsink mounting if necessary. Glue should be used to hold the thermocouple in place.

2. Setup the application in worst case conditions, considering Input line voltage, Output power, ambient temperature, airflow and cooling restrictions.

3. Power the system and monitor the baseplate temperature until it reaches steady state.

4. Ensure that under worst case conditions, the baseplate temperature cannot exceed the rated temperature as outlined in the power ratings section of

If a cover is placed over the primary components, then the following component temperatures must also be measured to ensure they are below the maximum specified temperatures.

Bias Supply (+5V [Power])

The VCCM600 series has one isolated bias supply located on the trans former module (J3) beside slot 4. The output side bias supply generates 5V and is rated up to 1A. The supply is available whenever the AC mains voltage is connected and the input module is operating correctly. A shutdown through the standby control on J2 or any of the following abnormal conditions will disable the 5V bias supply:

 Over temperature of any part of the unit  Over voltage on any output module  Internal over current (device failure)

AC Mains Signal (ACOK [Output])

An ACOK signal is provided to indicate to the user that the AC mains voltage is applied and the input module is operating correctly. The output signal is driven from an internal operational amplifier. Under normal operating conditions this signal gives a warning of 5ms before the output voltage falls below the power good threshold. A shutdown through the standby control on J2 or any of the following abnormal conditions may cause the unit to turn off without the minimum 5mS ACOK warning:

 Over temperature of any part of the unit  Over voltage on any output module  Internal over current (device failure)

*Output modules that are adjusted above nominal voltage, will have reduced ACOK warning time.

certain precautions must be taken to ensure correct operation. Please see the “Advanced output module features” section for more details.

Over Voltage Protection (OVP)

In the event of an output module fault, the modules are protected against excessive output voltages. This is implemented as a fixed voltage threshold V table above. If the output voltage exceeds this threshold, all outputs will be disabled temporarily. If the fault persists after 20mS the entire unit will be latched off, otherwise the outputs will auto recover. To resume operation of a latched unit, disconnect the AC input voltage for 5 seconds or toggle the standby control on J2. Note that no warning is given on the AC_OK signal for faults of this type.

Over Current & Short Circuit Protection (OCP & SCP)

For increased safety and reliability all output modules in the VCCM series have over current and short circuit protection. The over current threshold is typically set at 115% of the rated current and has a constant current, straight line characteristic that reduces the output voltage as the load resistance decreases. If the output voltages falls below the short circuit voltage threshold (V scheme to reduce system losses and potential damage. When in this mode, the output will be enabled for approximately 3% of the time, disabled for 97% and will attempt to restart at approximately 125 ms intervals. The module remains in this state until the short circuit condition is removed, at which point normal operation resumes.

Reverse Current Protection (RCP)

The standard output modules use synchronous rectification in the output stages to achieve high efficiency and as a result the outputs can both source and sink current. The sink current is internally limited to approximately -6% of the maximum rated current. However, in applications where the output modules are connected to external power sources such as batteries or other power supplies certain precautions must be observed to prevent damage to the unit.

The outputs should never be directly connected to to external power sources without some form of reverse current protect ion such as an external diode or controlled mosfet. If protection is not used, large reverse currents which will ultimately result in damage to the unit will occur, especially when the AC mains is disconnected.

Output Module Average and Peak Power

All modules have an average and peak power rating. The average power of each unit must at all times remain below it’s specified limit. However, each output can deliver up to 150% of it’s average power rating for a maximum of 5 seconds at 50% duty cycle, subject to the current limit not being exceeded and subject to the overall average power drawn being less than the specified average power rating (including any input derating due to temperature or line voltage). The available peak power is a function of the output voltage and maximum current for each module. Full peak power is only possible when the output voltage is adjusted to V

and the maximum current is drawn from the module. Note that both average and peak power ratings are subject to the same temperature derating as the

MAX

input module (derate by 2.5% per °C above 50°C), but are not subject to any line derating.

Start-up & Shut Down

All outputs are designed to have a regulated monotonic start-up with a rise time of approximately 3ms as shown in the diagram right. The power good signal will not assert until the voltage exceeds the power good threshold (≈90%).

Where multiple output modules are used, the default start up scheme is ratio-metric with all outputs starting at the same time as shown in the diagram right. External control circuits may be used to implement tracking or sequenced start up if necessary.

The outputs are not designed to start into pre-biased loads and may discharge any externally capacitance before beginning to ramp the output voltage up in the normal way.

At shutdown, the outputs enter a high impedance state. Where no external load is present it may take some time for the voltage to decay. When driving inductive loads, care must be taken to limit the voltage at the output terminals to prevent damage to the unit.

Synchronisation

All output modules in the same product are synchronised. The typical operating frequency is 260kHz and paralleled or series connected units will not produce ripple beat frequencies.

External capacitance

All outputs can support a large external capacitance as detailed in the table shown. The capacitances specified ensure monotonic start-up with rated load applied. Larger capacitances can be applied for lower load currents.

Ripple and Noise

The ripple and noise figures stated in the datasheet are defined based on a standard measuring method. To obtain the same results the same test setup must be used and care must be taken to eliminate any parasitic noise pickup. The diagram below shows details of the setup and sources of noise pickup.

Over Temperature Protection (OTP)

Each output module is protected against excessive temperatures. In the event of an internal temperature exceeding safe levels the output module will shut off. If the temperature reduces the output module will automatically recover. Should the temperature continue to rise a second over temperature circuit will shut down the input module and all outputs. To resume operation of the unit, disconnect the AC input voltage for 20 seconds then reconnect. If all temperatures are within specifications the unit will restart. Note that no warning is given on the AC_OK signal for faults of this type.

Transient Response

The VCCM output modules have been especially designed to have high reliability. To achieve this all electrolytic capacitors have been eliminated from the design. As a result of this, high dynamic load transients can cause relatively high voltage deviations at the output and although the outputs have a very high loop bandwidth with typical recovery times of less than 100μs, the voltage deviations may still be excessive for some applications.

An example application is detailed in the diagram below and shows typical responses at the terminals of the output module and at the load. Notice that the voltage deviation due to cable inductance exceeds the module response and hence a capacitor located at the module terminals will have little effect at the load. The optimum solution is to locate a low impedance electrolytic capacitor at the load which will eliminate the inductive cable drop and reduce the typical voltage deviation at the module.

It is not possible to increase the maximum current limit of the module, and control voltages exceeding 4.6V will have no effect on the current limit.

When using an output module as a modulated current source, the output voltage should be manually adjusted to the maximum that will be required by the application and this will be the upper voltage limit. Once the load is connected, the output current can then be modulated by applying a control voltage as described above.

Note that the power-good threshold level is fixed and defined by the manually preset voltage. Hence, while the output module is limiting or modulating the output current the PG signal may go low.

Remote Sensing

Remote sensing is available on all output modules and can be used to compensate for a voltage drop in the power leads connecting the power supply to the load. To implement remote sensing connect the positive sense pin (S+, connector J4.2) to the positive side of the remote load and the negative sense pin (S-, connector J4.1) to the negative side of the remote load. The voltage will be regulated at the points where the sense cables are connected.

Active protection against damaged power cables or accidental power cable removal is provided and prevents damage to the unit in each case. An internal circuit measures the voltage between S+ to V+ and S- to V-, when this voltage exceeds the thresholds specified in the datasheet, the output voltage is reduced t o benign levels. During system design, care must be taken to ensure power cables have a sufficiently low voltage drop at maximum load current to ensure this protection does not activate unintentionally.

In systems where remote sensing is not used, the output voltage at the power terminals will be slightly higher than that at the sense terminals. This voltage difference is termed, “open sense offset” and occurs due to internal bias currents in the sensing circuit. Factory set units are set with the sense cables connected unless otherwise specified.

A local non-isolated +5V bias supply is provided on each output module (+5 V on J4.6, referenced to COM on J4.3). This supply is intended to power interface circuits for monitoring and controlling the output modules. The output can supply up to 10mA maximum, and exceeding this can damage the unit.

Also, as COM is connected to an internal voltage that is to any control circuit in the application. Connecting COM to S- or V- may result in damage to the unit.

Series Connected Outputs

VCCM output modules of the same type can be series connected to achieve higher output voltages. Links for series connecting modules are available directly from Vox Power or our local representatives.

The following instructions must be followed for output modules configured in this manner.

WARNING!

 Energy and Voltage hazards may arise when individual modules are series connected. See the Safety section for more details.  When modules are connected in series, their inhibit lines (J3), if used, should be paralleled.  Inhibiting series connected modules individually may cause damage

Isolation to Ground

Care must be taken not to exceed the output module isolation to chassis ground when series connecting modules. Each output module is rated for 500 Volts maximum between each output terminal and chassis ground. Exceeding this voltage may damage the module.

Remote Sensing

For series connected modules, remote sensing is achieved by connecting the upper most positive sense terminal (S+) and the lower most negative sense terminal (S-) from the series of modules to their respective load regulation points. All inner sense terminals in the series must be daisy chained i.e. S+ to S- from the first module in the series to the last module in the series. An example of two series connected modules is shown below.

Series Connected Remote Voltage/Current Control

Remote voltage and/or current control is possible with series connected modules using the advanced V individual control of each module can be complex as the various control terminals are referenced to the positive output of the preceding module and require the use of multiple isolated control voltages to attain control over the full voltage range. Please contact Vox Power or your distributor for assistance if remote voltage or current control is required for series connected modules.

SELV Precautions

Where series combinations of output modules exceed 60V, the output can no longer be considered SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and hence the final equipment manufacturer must provide suitable protection for both users and service personnel.

External capacitance

When large external capacitances are connected to series connected outputs, the maximum input power can be exceeded at start-up and the unit can latch off. Consider sequencing output start-up to prevent exceeding the input power limit when charging large external capacitances.

Parallel Connected Outputs

VCCM output modules of the same type can be paralleled within the same product to achieve higher output currents. Links for paralleling modules are available directly from Vox Power or our local representatives.

The following instructions must be followed for output modules configured in this manner.

WARNING!

 Energy Hazards may arise when individual modules are paralleled. See the Safety section for more details.  When modules are paralleled, their inhibit lines (J3), if used, should also be paralleled. Inhibiting paralleled modules individually may cause damage

When paralleled, the outputs can operate in two distinct modes, Normal parallel mode or Share parallel mode.

Normal Parallel Mode

For normal parallel mode, the positive power cables should be connected together and the negative power cables should be connected together. No other connections are required as shown in the diagram below.

In this mode, the highest adjusted output module will supply all of the load current until its current limit is reached. If the load demand exceeds this level the output voltage will drop to the level of the next highest adjusted module and that module will begin to supply the load current while the first module continues delivering full current. This process repeats for the total number of paralleled modules. The diagram above shows the VI curve for such a system.

Output modules that are not delivering current will typically sink a small amount of current from the other outputs, but this will not exceed -6% of each module’s maximum rated current.

Typically, system reliability is reduced in this mode as the higher adjusted modules will do most of the work with the lower adjusted modules only delivering current during peak load demand.

Share Parallel Mode

In share parallel mode, the outputs are paralleled as before and the I

In this mode, the lowest adjusted output module will determine the actual output voltage and all higher adjusted outputs will reduce their voltage.

) can still be used to measure the output current but it must be scaled by N, where N is the number of paralleled modules.

CONTROL

DOC-MN-007-03 VCCM600 User Manua l

WARNING!

Care must be taken to avoid differential voltages between the negative power output terminals of share mode paralleled modules as this can cause errors

at the control pins. To avoid this, it is recommended to use Vox Power parallel links to parallel modules in share mode.

Parallel Remote Sensing

Remote sensing can be used as normal with paralleled modules. The sense lines (S+ and S-) from each of the output modules should be connected together, S+ to S+, and S- to S- as shown below. This should be done close to the power supply output and a single pair of cables brought from these sense lines to the load. Keeping cable lengths to a minimum and using twisted pairs where necessary will help reduce noise pickup in the sense lines.

N+1 Configurations

When using N+1 redundant configurations, a suitably rated diode (or controlled MOSFET) must be used on each output to prevent a device failure from causing a system failure. However, the diode introduces voltage drops between the supply and the load that significantly degrade the load regulation. To counteract this, the remote sense lines can be used to regulate the voltage at the load as shown below.

Typically, this configuration can damage the internal sense resistors used within a power supply. However, the VCCM outputs have integrated protection to prevent this type of damage and are completely N+1 compatible without any additional external protection circuitry. Note that only the positive sense terminal is protected and diodes should be used in the positive connection only.

Paralleled Remote Voltage/Current Adjustments

The simplest way to achieve remote voltage/current programming with paralleled outputs is to operate the modules in share parallel mode. Follow the procedure outlined earlier to configure the outputs in share parallel mode and once configured in this mode, all the V together. Remote voltage/current programming can then be performed exactly as with a stand-alone module.

It is not recommended to use remote voltage/current programming in normal parallel mode.

and COM pins can be connected

CONTROL

WARNING!

Care must be taken to avoid differential voltages between the negative power output terminals of share mode paralleled modules as this can cause errors

at the control pins. To avoid this, it is recommended to use Vox Power parallel links to parallel modules in share mode.

Paralleling Across Multiple Products

Paralleling across multiple product is not possible without external protection (such as external diodes or controlled MOSFETs) to prevent circulating currents between each product. Failure to provide such protection may result in damage to the power supplies. Consult Vox Power for details on how best to implement such applications.

When modules are paralleled across multiple products, the outputs in each product will not be synchronised and the peak to peak output ripple may contain beat frequencies in the audio spectrum.

Installation Guidelines for optimum EMC performance

 VCCM units should be mounted within a metal enclosure using the mounting fixtures provided.

 If the application enclosure is not metal, then a metal ground plate should be used to mount both the power supply and the load.

 Both input and output cables should be fixed as close as possible to the ground plate or metal enclosure.

 Input and output cables should be separated as much as possible from each other or a shield/screen used to isolate RF currents

 Output power and sense cables should be twisted pairs and routed parallel to each other. Do not twist sense and power cables together.

 All cables lengths and loop areas should be minimised.

 Where cables must enter or exit the enclosure, good high frequency 100nF decoupling capacitors of sufficient voltage rating should be connected to

the cables as close to the entry/exit point as possible.

For further details or assistance contact Vox Power.

Reliability

The VCCM600 series has undergone extensive testing, including HALT and Environmental testing. Reliability data is collected on an ongoing basis. Please contact Vox Power or your distributor for the most up to date reliability data.

The reliability data quoted in the datasheets are the calculated defined in SR-332 allows several different techniques to be used for calculating MTBF and when evaluating competing MTBF figures it is important that only the same techniques are compared. The quoted VCCM reliability figures use Method I Case 3, Ground, Fixed, Controlled which specifies an ambient temperature of 30°C and an upper confidence level of 90%. It is also assumed that the product is operated at 100% duty cycle, has an input voltage of 220V temperature is the same as the ambient temperature.

Configuring Your VCCM Product

The VCCM600 power supply is designed to be used as part of an end-system in a restricted environment and therefore should only be accessible to qualified and trained personnel. Persons attempting to configure a unit must have the necessary knowledge and training before doing so. Incorrect configuration may cause damage to the power supply and may affect the warranty of the power supply.

Output power modules may be added, replaced or moved by strictly following the sequence of operations described below. Before configuring your VCCM product, remove the VCCM600 input module and any output modules which are going to be used in the configuration from their packaging and inspect for damage.

DO NOT use parts if any part of the product exhibits any kind of physical damage. DO NOT connect any mains power before the configuration is complete.

Once configuration changes have been completed, operation of the unit should be verified and voltages can be adjusted to application requirements.

Please contact Vox Power or your distributor for assistance in configuring your power supply. Never assume, always ask.

Adding Output Modules (A, B, C & D)

STEP 1: Each module is provided with two M3x8 Stainless Steel Posi-drive Countersunk screws at the bottom. These are used to attach the module to the baseplate. Remove these screws using the correct No1 Posi-drive screw driver.

STEP 2: Ensure that the output module base and baseplate thermal interface are both clean and free from any debris. Insert output modules as required into any one of the four available slots in the VCCM600 transformer module. Ensure the output module and transformer connectors are properly aligned and push together. There will be a solid ‘click’ once a proper connection is established. Each VCCM600 product can be configured to have up to four isolated outputs by inserting the desired output modules into the correct slots as required.

STEP 3: Once the output modules are in place, turn the entire assembly upside down and rest on a flat surface. Secure the screws which were removed in step 1 as shown below. Tighten the screws using an appropriate No1 Posi-drive screwdriver to 0.35NM.

Verifying operation after assembly

Connect the Live (L), Neutral (N) and Earth (E) terminals of the mains power cable to the corresponding terminals on the mains input connector (J1) on the VCCM600 input module. Only apply power from the mains power outlet once the connection to the VCCM600 input module has been completed. Once power has been applied, confirm that the “Power Good” indicators for all output modules are lit. If any “Power Good” indicators are not lit it may indicate a faulty output module or incorrect assembly. The mains power should be removed and the non-functioning output module re-seated or replaced.

WARNING!

 Dangerous voltages are exposed on certain parts of the power supply even after power has been removed. The unit should only be handled by

qualified personnel when the power supply has been disconnected from the mains supply voltage for more than 3 minutes .

 During operation, external surfaces of the unit can become hot. Appropriate precautions should be taken when handling the unit.

Adjusting output voltages

Each VCCM output module contains a built-in potentiometer to allow for accurate output voltage adjustments. To adjust the output voltage, connect a calibrated voltmeter (or DMM) to the output terminals and insert an appropriate trimming tool (e.g. Bourns Model H-90, maximum diameter 3mm) through the hole marked “Adjust” at the top of the output module as shown below. Do not use excessive force as this may damage the unit. Ensure the trimming tool mates correctly with the internal potentiometer and slowly turn the tool clockwise to increase the voltage or counter-clockwise to decrease the voltage. Once the desired voltage has been achieved, remove the trimming tool and disconnect the voltmeter. Repeat this step for each output module in need of adjustment.

Voltage Adjust

Connecting Output Modules in series

VCCM output modules of the same type can be series connected to achieve higher output voltages. Below is an illustration of how to series connect two output modules in slot 1 and slot 2 using a Vox series link. The Vox series link can be inserted by loosening the output module power terminal screws and rotating the series link into position. The screws should then be tightened to 0.5Nm. The example below shows the series connection from slot 1 negative to slot 2 positive with the output voltage taken from slot 1 positive to slot 2 negative. Further output modules can be added to the series chain by adding more series links across the remaining slots.

Energy and voltage hazards may arise when individual modules are series connected. When safe energy and voltage levels are exceeded ensure that an

appropriate warning label is affixed to the power supply in a manner that service personnel will always notice it. See the Safety section for more details.

Connecting Output Modules in parallel

VCCM output modules of the same type can be paralleled in any number within the same product to achieve higher output currents. For best performance, the output voltages of each paralleled module should be pre-adjusted to within 1% of the required output voltage. It is recommended to fit Vox current share links on all paralleled output modules. Vox Power has a range of 2, 3 and 4-way current share links available. Please discuss your requirements with your distributor or with Vox Power before ordering your unit.

Below is an illustration of a mechanical connection to parallel connect two modules in slot 1 and slot 2 using Vox parallel links. Vox parallel links can be inserted by loosening the output module power terminal screws on adjacent modules and sliding the parallel link into position. The screws should then be tightened to

0.5Nm. One link is required to connect the negative power terminals and another is required to connect the positive terminals. Vox Power has a range of parallel links to connect 2, 3 or 4 output modules in parallel.

The example below shows a parallel connection from slot 1 to slot 2.

Energy and voltage hazards may arise when individual modules are paralleled. When safe energy and voltage levels are exceeded ensure that an

appropriate warning label is affixed to the power supply in a manner that service personnel will always notice it. See the Safety section for more details.

WARNING!

Attaching a heatsink or cooling plate

For improved performance, the baseplate of the VCCM600 unit can be attached to a heatsink or cooling plate. Vox Power has a range of heatsinks available to allow the VCCM600 to be mounted horizontally or vertically. Each heatsink comes pre-assembled with a high performance thermal interface pad and 6 x M4 x 10mm Pozi Pan screws which can be used to attach the heatsink to the baseplate. The diagrams below show a VCCM600 unit attachment to a Type 1 and Type 2 heatsink. Before assembly ensure both the baseplate and heatsink surfaces are clean and free from debris. The final assembly can then be mounted into the end system via the four holes (Type 1: 2 each side, Type 2: 2 each end) on the flange of the heatsink.

Type 1 Heatsink

It is recommended to tighten the baseplate mounting screws to 0.55NM. In high vibration environments, an appropriate thread lock should be used. All recommended screw tightening torques are nominal values and should be verified in the application where appropriate.
