Readback

Voltage Readback

Connect a meter between J5 connector pin 19 (voltage readback) and either pin 4 or 5 (program return).

Range: 0-10V = 0-100% full rated voltage output of power supply

Current Readback

Connect a meter between J5 connector pin 18 (current readback) and either pin 4 or 5 (program return).

Range: 0-10V = 0-100% full rated current output of power supply

 

Note:The voltage and current readback signals have adjustable offset and range.

 

These adjustments are accessible from the top of the power supply (see Figure 2.3,

 

pg. 17). The adjustments are independent of other power supply calibrations or

 

adjustments such that APG readback can be zero and range calibrated without

 

affecting other power supply parameters.

Operating

Connect voltmeter between J5 connector pin 9 (voltage/current limit mode

Mode Status

indicator) and pin 6 (auxiliary ground).

 

Voltage Mode: active low open collector

 

Current Mode: high impedance open collector

Remote

Remote programming status is available via J5 connector pins 7 (remote voltage

program select) and 8 (remote current program select). Reference to J5 connector at

Status

either pin 4 or 5 (program return).

 

J5-7 LOW = Remote Voltage Program, HIGH=Local Front Panel Control

 

J5-8 LOW = Remote Current Program, HIGH=Local Front Panel Control

Output Fail The Output Fail Flag (J5 connector pin 21) signal is HIGH (open collector) when any Flag one of the following conditions is true:

AC input to the power supply is below operating limits.

Over voltage protection is activated.

TTL shutdown is active.

Sense line protect circuit is active (excessive load line drop or load line(s) not connected or fuse(s) in power supply blown).
