Section 3. Operation

Overview

Once you have installed the power supply and connected both the AC input power and the load as explained in Section 2, the power supply is in its default configuration and is ready for operation.

One power supply must be connected via GPIB. Additional units may be controlled via the CANbus port which enables multichannel addressing. The multichannel addressing also supports the current sharing feature for parallel-connected units. Any unit may be toggled between remote and local control modes.

Section 3 provides information about operating the power supply remotely via the GPIB-M or CAN-only optional interface.

In addition, brief descriptions are provided of Constant Voltage and Constant Current modes. See “Power Supply Operation” on page 48.

WARNING- Shock Hazard

The factory setting for Power ON is 0V and 0A with the output OFF. These settings can be customized by end users. If you suspect that the power supply has been used by someone else since it was received from the factory, be prepared for the unit to power ON with a live DC output.

To power on the power supply:

1.Ensure that the AC power switch is OFF.

2.Connect the unit to an AC outlet.

3.Turn on the front panel AC power switch.

After a short power-on delay, the digital meters on the front panel and the CV LED illuminate.
