Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Ensure proper ventilation and mounting.

  1. Choose location: Well-ventilated area, away from heat sources and moisture.
  2. Mount unit: Use provided brackets for 19" rack or secure to stable surface.
  3. Connect AC power: Use appropriate power cord for your region.
  4. Connect DC outputs: Use recommended gauge wire for each channel.
  5. Connect remote interface: Optional RS-485 connection for monitoring.

WARNING! Unit contains high voltages. Disconnect power before installation. Ensure proper grounding.

First-Time Setup

Power on unit; initialize system parameters.

  1. Power up: Turn main switch ON; observe startup sequence on display.
  2. Set output voltages: Use front panel controls to configure each channel.
  3. Configure protection limits: Set OVP, OCP values for each output.
  4. Enable remote interface: Configure address and communication parameters if used.
  5. Save configuration: Store settings to non-volatile memory.

CAUTION! Verify load requirements before applying power. Start with minimum loads.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

Front Panel: POWER switch, LCD display, Navigation buttons, Channel selection, Voltage/Current adjustment, ENTER button.

Display Indicators: Voltage, Current, Power, Temperature, Fault status, Channel active.

Menu Structure: OUTPUT SETUP (voltage, current limits), PROTECTION (OVP, OCP, OTP), SYSTEM (language, display contrast, beeper), COMMUNICATION (address, baud rate, parity), CALIBRATION (password protected).

Default password for calibration: 1234.

Connecting Devices

AC Input: Standard IEC connector. DC Outputs: Screw terminals (+, -, sense). Remote Interface: RJ-45 connector.

  1. Turn OFF power before making connections.
  2. Connect loads: Use appropriate wire gauge for current requirements.
  3. Use sense connections for remote voltage sensing on critical loads.
  4. Connect communication cable: Use shielded twisted pair for RS-485.
  5. Verify polarity before applying power.

Tip: Keep DC output wires as short as possible to minimize voltage drop.

Operation Modes

Supports constant voltage, constant current, and power sequencing modes.

  1. Constant Voltage: Default mode; maintains set voltage regardless of load.
  2. Constant Current: Automatically switches when current limit reached.
  3. Sequencing: Programmable turn-on/turn-off delays between channels.
  4. Tracking: Multiple channels can track each other's voltage.
  5. Remote Control: Via front panel, RS-485 interface, or analog control inputs.
  6. Monitoring: Real-time display of voltage, current, power, temperature.
  7. Data Logging: Internal memory stores fault events and operating parameters.

WARNING! Do not exceed maximum ratings. Monitor temperature during extended operation.

Safety Features

Over-Voltage Protection: Automatically shuts down output if voltage exceeds set limit. Over-Current Protection: Limits current to safe value. Over-Temperature Protection: Reduces output or shuts down if overheated. Short-Circuit Protection: Current limits to protect unit and load. Fan Failure Detection: Alerts if cooling fan stops.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Disconnect power before maintenance. Clean exterior with dry cloth; clean ventilation openings regularly.

CAUTION! No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not open casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
