Safety

Warnings and cautions are defined and formatted in this manual as shown below.

WARNING

Describes a potential hazard which could result in injury or death, or, a procedure
which, if not performed correctly, could result in injury or death.

CAUTION

Describes a procedure which, if not performed correctly, could result in damage
to data, equipment, or systems.

WARNING—High Energy and High Voltage

Exercise caution when using and calibrating 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 V. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time after
power is removed.

CAUTION

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. Contact the service technician for service and repair
help. Repairs must be made by experienced service technicians only.

CAUTION

For Use as a Battery Charger
When you are using any of these power supplies 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 reverse polarity current
protection. Where several power supplies are in parallel, it is best to fuse each one,
rather than one large fuse for all.

TM-XDSL-01XN.book Page ix Tuesday, November 5, 2002 3:22 PM

About This Manual

This Operating Manual contains operating instructions for the XDC Series Slave
power supplies. This power supply is based on the XDC Series of digital,
programmable power supplies, with the same high level of accuracy and reliability,
but specifically designed with no front panel interface for use as a slave unit
controlled via CANbus (Control Area Network bus).

Who Should Use This Manual

This manual is designed for users who understand basic electrical theory, especially
as applied to the operation of power supplies. This implies a recognition of constant
voltage and constant current operating modes and the control of input and output
power, as well as the observance of safe techniques while making connections to the
supply and any changes in settings.

Revisions

This manual is intended to be used in conjunction with the full digital front panel
XDC Series Operating manual. If you do not plan to use this power supply in a
system with a full digital front panel XDC Series power supply, please contact the
manufacturer for additional application data.

The current release of this manual is listed in the right-hand page footer. Insert pages
may update already-printed manuals.
