Using the External Shutdown Function

Use the external shutdown function to enable or disable the output of the

power supply via a logic level signal. When the external shutdown is

triggered, the power supply will display SD POL on the output voltage and

current displays and the ALARM LED will illuminate. The external

shutdown is useful for making adjustments to either the load or the power

supply without shutting off the power supply or for using the power

supply as part of a larger test system in which digital or analog control is

required.

Activating the External Shutdown Function

To activate the external shutdown function, use the AUX output supply

provided on the Analog Programming Connector J3. This input has a user

selectable polarity with logic low input from 0.0V to 1.2V and logic high

from 2.0V to 15V. The control signal for this input must be capable of

sinking 10mA minimum. This input is also compatible with the use of dry

contacts, where a short is logic low and an open is logic high. The input

lines of the shutdown circuit are fully optically isolated. See page C–4 for

specifications.

Once the External Shutdown has been triggered, the display will blink the

SD POL and the ALARM LED will be illuminated.

Controlling the External Shutdown Function

The external shutdown circuit accepts a voltage or dry contact control

(high or low logic level) to enable or disable the power supply output.

Make connections for the signals at the AUX Output and Isolated Analog

Programming Connector on the rear panel. (See “AUX Output and

Isolated Analog Programming (ISOL) Connector” on page 4–20 for more

information.)

To activate the shutdown function:

Connect the control signal source to the Shutdown pin (J3.12) on the Aux

Output and Isolated Analog Programming Connector with the control

circuit ground connected to Isolated Ground pin (J3.6).

The External Shutdown pin is pulled high internally (normally high).

Therefore, if this feature is not used, the polarity should be set to 1 to

avoid false triggering. (See “Defining the Polarity of the External

Shutdown Signal” on page 3–31 for instructions.)
