About This Manual
Purpose
The Operating Manual provides installation and operating information for
the XG 850 Watt Series Programmable DC Power Supply.
Scope
The Manual provides safety information, features and specifications,
installation procedures, functional test procedures, and operating procedures
for both local (front panel) operation and remote operation.
The Manual does not provide information on the GPIB and Ethernet
(ENET) interface options. See the XG 850 Watt GPIB and Ethernet
Interface Option Operating Manual (Part number M370078-06).
Audience
The Manual is intended for the user who is familiar with electronic power
supplies, Constant Voltage and Constant Current operating modes, and the
control of output power. The user should be familiar with practicing safe
techniques while making supply or pin connections.

Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: High energy and high voltage
Exercise caution when using a power supply. High energy levels can be stored at
the output voltage terminals on a power supply in normal operation. In addition,
potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and on the output and sense
connectors of a power supply with a rated output greater than 40
capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time after power is
removed.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Operate the power supply in an environment free of flammable gases or fumes.
To ensure that the power supply's safety features are not compromised, use the
power supply as specified in this Manual and do not substitute parts or make any
unauthorized modifications. If service is necessary, please return the power
supply to the Authorized Service Center. See
Policy” on page WA –3 .
WARNING: Limitations on use
The XG 850 Watt Series Programmable DC Power Supply is not intended for use
in connection with life support systems or other medical equipment or devices.
CAUTION: For use as a battery charger
When you are using a power supply for battery charging applications, it is
essential to provide an appropriately sized fuse or circuit breaker in series
between the power supply output and the battery.
Installation of a protector (fuse or DC circuit breaker), rated for about 115% of
the maximum current rating of the power supply and designed specifically to
interrupt the DC voltage of the battery, will provide adequate current protection.
Where several power supplies are in parallel, it is best to fuse each power supply
rather than use one fuse at the battery.

Standard Warnings
WARNING: Keep these instructions
This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions. Read and keep
this Operating Manual for future reference.
1. Before installing and using the XG 850 Watt Series Programmable
DC Power Supply, read all instructions and cautionary markings on
the XG and all appropriate sections of this Manual.
2. The XG is for indoor use only. Do not expose the XG to moisture. To
reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation
openings. Be sure to install the XG in a compartment which allows air
to reach the ventilation inlets on the front and rear of the unit to
prevent overheating. For more information, see
page 2–4.
3. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that the existing
wiring is in good condition and the wire is not undersized. Do not
operate the XG with damaged or substandard wiring.
“Ventilation” on
4. Do not operate the XG if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or otherwise damaged in any way. If the XG is damaged, see
“Warranty and Product Information” on page WA – 1.
5. Do not disassemble the XG. It contains no user-serviceable parts. See
“Warranty and Product Information” on page WA – 1 for
the
instructions on obtaining service. Attempting to service the XG
yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire. Internal
capacitors remain charged after all power is disconnected.
6. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect AC power from the
XG before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on
any circuits connected to the XG. Turning off controls will not reduce
this risk.

Introduction
Chapter 1, Introduction, describes the features of the XG
850 Watt Series Programmable DC Power Supply.
Introduction
Features and Options
The XG 850 Watt Series Programmable DC Power Supply provides
stable, variable output voltage and current for a broad range of
development and system requirements. The power supplies have a high
power density and numerous industry standard interfaces:
• RS-232, RS-485, analog programming (APG), isolated analog
programming (ISOL), and USB built-in ports.
• Optional GPIB or Ethernet (ENET) control for remote operation and
readback.
• Seamless switching between front panel and any digital interface
(RS-232, RS-485, USB, GPIB or ENET).
• Simultaneous digital displays for both voltage and current.
• Front panel control by rotary Adjust/Enter knob, permitting high
resolution output setting.
• Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) reduces input current and
input current harmonics.
• Automatic crossover system allowing the power supply to switch
between Constant Current and Constant Voltage operating modes.
• Parallel or series connection among multiple units to produce greater
diversity or to use in higher power applications.
• Short-circuit protection of DC outputs provideing greater operating
safety.
• Built-in APG and ISOL interface to provide a galvanically isolated
analog voltage control of the output, master/slave output tracking,
and remote Enable/disable for safety and precision.
• Remote output voltage sensing to automatically compensate for cable
losses.
• Software calibrated.
• Three user setting memory locations.
