2.Connect the power cord and turn on the power supply When you turn on the power supply, the front-panel display will light up briefly while the power supply performs its power-on self-test. All the VFD annunciators will turn on at once. Check for any missing display segments. In the event that there is no response when you turn on the power supply, refer to section 5 of this chapter for additional information. 3. System Checkout At power up, the instrument will automatically perform a self test routine.
CH X Lost Calibration... Note: “X” denotes the channel for which calibration data was lost. If the calibration data in the EEPROM is corrupted or the factory calibration values are lost, the VFD will display the following: Lost Factory Calibration Note: You will see a “?” on the VFD, in case of any errors are encountered during the self test routine.
displayed current value (actual output value) is the same as the set value. 7) Ensure that the current can be adjusted from zero to the maximum rated value. 8) Turn off the power supply and remove the short wire from the output terminals. 9) Verify channels 2 & 3 according to steps 1) – 8) 5.If the Power Supply Does Not Turn On Use the following steps to help resolve problems you might encounter when turning on the instrument. 1). Verify that there is AC power applied to the power supply.
7. 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 on the side, pull outwards and rotate it to a special position where the arrow on the handle and the arrow on the plastic ears are in opposite directions. Now you can pull the handle outwards.

4. Front-panel Operation So far we have covered the quick start chapter which briefly introduced the front panel operation and how to check basic voltage and current functionality. This chapter describes in detail how to operate the instrument manually via the front-panel keys. 4.1 Front-panel Operation Overview z The power supply is shipped from the factory ready for front-panel operation mode.
4.2 Panel Description 1 2 3 Esc V-set I-set 4 5 6 0 Save Recall 7 8 9 ● Menu On/Off 0~9 Enter Use keys 1~3 to control the output state of the 3 channels。Use keys 4~6 to set the voltage and keys 7~9 to set the current value for each channel.
scroll through the complete menu listed below. Press Enter to enter the selected menu function, press Esc to return to the previous menu. A ”↑↓” symbol displayed on the left means that you are currently in the middle of keys to select other menu parameter. If there is only”↑” displayed, you a menu and you can now use the are at the end of the currently active menu and you can only press the key to select a different parameter.
4.5 Panel Operation Channel Operation When the power supply is in “METER” mode, you can select a channel using the arrow keys . OUT ON/OFF Pressing On/Off toggles the output state of all 3 channels of the power supply. If the output state is ON, press it, to turn the output state to OFF. While the output state is OFF, press On/Off and the power supply output will turn ON.
5 adjust the first channel, press to control the second channel and press 6 to control the third channel). For example, to set voltage for the first channel: Enter . followed by using the knob. Press Alternatively, press Esc Enter or 4 Press , then enter a numerical value to move the cursor adjust the voltage value to escape and return to meter mode. Set Current Solution 1: Press I-set , enter a numeric value then press Solution 2: Press I-set , the press Enter to confirm.
Over Temp 4.6 Menu Function In menu operation, the selection. The Esc keys or the knob can be used to select the menu. Enter is used to confirm a key is used to exit the current menu Power Config Reset Config If you enter this menu and select “YES”, all parameters will be set to their default values. Out State Set This parameter sets the Output On/Off state at power up. If you select “Last Set”, the power supply will save the output state prior to power down and revert to that state at power up.
back to meter mode or output mode The minimum is 4 seconds, and the maximum is 9999 seconds. Enter or press numerical value followed by + Enter Enter a to set the wait-time. To disable the system wait time function, set the wait time to 0 seconds. (In this case, the power supply will remain in set mode until the ESC or ENTER key is pressed). Set mode is active when a cursor is visible. Default setting is 0 seconds.
Connection diagram example: Channels 1 and 2 connected in series + Load Out Parallel Set This function configures the instrument for parallel operation. “None” means that each channel operates independently. “1+2” means that channel 1 and channel 2 operate in parallel, “1+3” and 2+3 means that channels 1 and 3 or channels 2 and 3 respectively operate in parallel. ALL indicates that all 3 channels operate in parallel.
Connection diagram example: Channels 1 and 2 connected in parallel + Load Note: When configuring for series or parallel operation, the user must wire the terminals to match the configuration. The power supply does not automatically connect the appropriate terminals internally based on the configuration selected. MaxVolt Set (LVP) The max voltage you set should be within the range of 0V to the maximum rated voltage.
