Programming Output Voltage with a 0-10k Resistance

Programming Output Current with

a0-10 Vdc Voltage Source

3.Vary the external voltage from 0-10Vdc to cause the power supply output to vary from 0-100% of rated output voltage. You may set the power supply's output current limit using another source or the front panel current limit control.

Note:Access the zero offset adjustment through the rear panel hole labelled OFFSET. Access the full scale calibration adjustment through the rear panel hole labelled RANGE. See Figure 2.2, pg. 15.

1.Select remote voltage programming by moving the rear panel switch S1-5 (remote voltage program select) to the ON (closed) position.

Or, connect J5 pin 7 (remote voltage program select) to J5 pin 6 (auxiliary ground). As these two control functions are wired in parallel, they function as a logic OR.

2.Set rear panel switch S1-4 (resistive voltage program select) to the ON (closed) position.

3.Connect a variable resistor between pin 17 (voltage program) and either pin 4 or pin 5 (program return).

4.Adjust the resistance from 0-10kto vary the power supply output from 0-100% of rated output voltage. You may set the power supply's output current limit using another source or the front panel current limit control.

1.Select remote current limit programming by moving the rear panel switch S1-3 (remote current program select) to the ON (closed) position.

Or, connect J5 pin 8 (remote current program select) to J5 pin 6 (auxiliary ground). As these two control functions are wired in parallel, they function as a logic OR.

2.Connect the voltage source between J5 pin 16 (current program, positive) and either pin 4 or pin 5 (program return).

3.Vary the external voltage from 0-10Vdc to cause the power supply current limit to vary from 0-100% of rated output. You may set the power supply's output voltage using another source or the front panel voltage control.

Access the zero offset adjustment and full range scale adjustment through top cover slots as shown in Figure 2.3, pg. 17.
