Installation

Mains Operating Voltage

This instrument has a universal input range and will operate from a nominal 115V or 230V mains supply without adjustment. Check that the local supply meets the AC Input requirement given in the Specification.

Mains Lead

Connect the instrument to the AC supply using the mains lead provided. Should a mains plug be required for a different mains outlet socket, a suitably rated and approved mains lead set should be used which is fitted with the required wall plug and an IEC60320 C13 connector for the instrument end. To determine the minimum current rating of the lead-set for the intended AC supply, refer to the power rating information on the equipment or in the Specification.

WARNING! THIS INSTRUMENT MUST BE EARTHED.

Any interruption of the mains earth conductor inside or outside the instrument will make the instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.

Ventilation

The power supply is cooled by an intelligent multi-speed fan which vents at the rear. Take care not to restrict the air inlets at top, bottom and side panels or the exit at the rear. In rack-mounted situations allow adequate space around the instrument and/or use a fan tray for forced cooling.

Mounting

This instrument is suitable both for bench use and rack mounting. It is delivered with feet for bench mounting. The front feet include a tilt mechanism for optimal panel angle.

A rack kit for mounting one or two of these Half-width 3U high units in a 19” rack is available from the Manufacturers or their overseas agents.

Connections

All connections are made from the front panel.

The load should be connected to the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals marked OUTPUT. The OUTPUT terminals are rated at 30A.

Remote sense connections to the load, if required, are made from the positive (+) and negative (−) SENSE terminals. Switch the LOCAL/REMOTE switch to REMOTE when remote sensing is required. Switch back to LOCAL when remote sensing is not in use.

The terminal marked is connected to the chassis and safety earth ground.
