Operating the Power Supply Locally 3

Over-Temperature Protection

The over-temperature protection circuit shuts down the power supply before the internal components can exceed their safe internal operating temperature. This can occur if there is a cooling fan failure. When an OTP condition occurs, the output is disabled, the display shows O7P, the PROT indicator blinks, and the OT status bit is set in the Questionable Condition status register. Resetting the OTP circuit can be automatic (non-latched) or manual (latched) depending on the Safe-Start or Auto-Restart mode.

In Safe-Start mode, the OTP circuit is latched. The display continues to show O7P and the PROT indicator continues to blink. To reset the OTP circuit, press the OUT ON button.

In Auto-Restart mode, the OTP circuit is non-latched. The power supply returns to its last setting automatically when the over- temperature condition is removed.

Power-Fail Protection

If the AC power stops briefly, but returns before the power supply has reset, the power-fail protection circuit trips and the PF status bit is set in the Questionable Condition status register. Resetting the power-fail protection can be automatic (non-latched) or manual (latched), depending on the Safe-Start or Auto-Restart mode.

In Safe-Start mode, the output of the power supply is Off, as specified by the reset state when AC power returns. In Auto-Restart mode, the power supply recovers its last settings when AC power returns.

Front Panel Lock-Out

The front panel controls can be locked to protect from accidental power supply parameter change. Press and hold the LIMIT button to toggle between Locked front panel and Unlocked front panel. The display will cycle between LFP and UFP. Releasing the LIMIT button while one of the modes is displayed, selects that mode.

In Unlocked front panel mode, the front panel controls are enabled to program and monitor the power supply parameters.

In Locked front panel mode, the VOLTAGE and CURRENT knobs, the OCP/488 button, and the OUT ON button are disabled

The power supply will not respond to attempts to use these controls. The display will show LFP to indicate that the front panel is locked. The OVP/UVL button remains active to preview the OVP and UVL setting. The LIMIT button also remains active to preview the output voltage and current setting or to unlock the front panel.

 

This function operates independently of the SCPI SYST:COMM:RLST command.

NOTE

If the front panel has been locked from the front panel, it cannot be unlocked by

 

 

SYST:COMM:RLST. Conversely, if the front panel has been locked by

 

SYST:COMM:RLST, it cannot be unlocked from the front panel.
