Chapter 1 Quick Start One of the first things you will want to do with your power supply is to become acquainted with the front panel. The exercises in this chapter prepare the power supply for use and help you get familiar with some of its front-panel operations. This chapter is intended for both the experienced and the inexperienced user because it calls attention to certain checks that should be made prior to operation. 1.
1.2 Output Checkout The following procedures check to ensure that the power supply develops its rated outputs and properly responds to operation from the front panel. 1.2.1 Voltage Output Checkout The following steps verify basic voltage functions without load. 1. Turn on the power supply. 2. Enable the outputs. Press Out on/off key to let the ON annunciator and the CV annunciator turn on to light.
zero. 7. Ensure that the current can be adjusted from zero to the full rated value. 8. Turn off the power supply and remove the short wire from the output terminals. 1.3 If the Power Supply Does Not Turn On Use the following steps to help solve problems you might encounter when turning on the instrument. If you need more help, refer to chapter 6 for instructions on returning the instrument to the supplier for service. 1. Verify that there is AC power to the power supply.
Bench-top viewing positions Carrying position 1.5 To Rack Mount the Instrument You can mount the power supply in a standard 19-inch rack cabinet using the IT-E151 rack mount kit. Note: Remove the carrying handle and the two plastic ears before rack-mounting the instrument. To remove the handle, grasp the handle by sides and pull outwards and rotate it to a special position to let the arrow on the handle and the arrow on the plastic ears be in opposite directions, then pull the handle outward.
To rack mount two instruments side-by-side, order rack mount kit IT-E151, you needn’t to use the front cover panel. unit (mm) Dimension Chapter 2 Specifications 2.1 Specifications Parameter Output Ratings, ( 0 °C - 40 °C) Load Regulation, ±(% of output+offset) Line Regulation, ±(% of output+offset) Programming Resolution Voltage 1785B 0 ~18V 1786B 0 ~32V 1787B 0 ~72V 1788 0 ~32V Current 0 ~5A 0 ~3A 0~1.5A 0~6A LVP 0 ~19V 0 ~33V 0 ~73V 0 ~33V Voltage <0.01% + 3mV Model 1788 = <0.

Chapter 3 Front-panel Operation So far you have learned how to install your power supply and do quick start. During the quick start, you were briefly introduced to operating from the front panel as you learned how to check basic voltage and current functions. This chapter describes in detail the use of the front-panel keys and shows how they are used to accomplish power supply operation.
Step2. Press V-Set key. 0 Step3. Use the numeric keys Step4. Press Enter 9 to or ? and ? keys to change the voltage value. to confirm the value 3.3 Constant Current Operation The constant current output range is from 0A to the maximum current value of each type. It is very easy for you to set the constant current output. Step1. Power on the Power Supply Step2. Press I-Set key 0 to Step3. Use the numeric keys Step4.
Step2. Select >MAX VOLT by using? Step3. Press Enter and ? key. key. Step4. Change the voltage value by using numeric keys Step5. Press Enter 0 to 9 or ? and ? key. key. Note: After you setting the maximum voltage value, the output voltage setup should be in the range from 0 volt to maximum voltage. The default maximum voltage is the full voltage range of its model. n Initiating the Output state(>INIT OUT) This instruction can initiate the output state when the power supply is powered on.
n Setting Address (>ADDRESS) This instruction can set the communication address for each power supply. The address range is from 0 to 254. Before the communication, you must make sure that there is same address between the power supply and the computer. Note: Default address is 0. When the power supply receives a frame instruction from computer, the LINK indicator will light on; it means that the power supply started to communicate with computer.
Chapter 4 Remote Operation Mode The DB9 interface connector on the rear panel of the power supply can be transferred to RS-232 interface, the following information will tell you how to use the computer to control the output of the power supply. 4.
4.3 Frame format Frame length is 26 bytes, the format is as follows: Start Address Command 4-25 bytes are information content Check sum Description: 1. Start bit is AAH, occupies a byte. 2.

Or otherwise, it will return to 80H. Chapter 5 Calibration We suggest you to calibrate the power supply yearly.
5.1 Configuration Start the PC1785B_1788 System, the windows is as follows: Voltage calibration Current calibration The diagram of connecting the multimeter to the calibrated power supply The diagram of connecting the multimeter to the calibrated power supply Before the calibration, please click “Config” button to set the COM interface, address and baud rate. The default Com port is COM, and the default baud rate is 9600.
When you measure the output voltage or short current by the multi-meter, please make sure the value is correct. Otherwise it will cause the calibration failure and let the output turbulence. Please make sure that the maximum current of your multi-meter is higher than the maximum current of the calibrated power supply, otherwise it would damage the multi-meter. 5.
6.3 Functions of PV1785B_1788 Start the software PV1785B_1788, the windows is as follows: 1 2 11 10 3 9 4 5 6 7 8 1 Configure the software operation environments. 2 Voltage chart, it can show you a chart of the voltage. 3 Current chart: it can show you a chart of the current. 4 5 To set the remote mode of power supply. To set the output state ON/OFF.
