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.
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. 4.Output Verification The following procedures verify that the power supply outputs the correct voltage and current levels and properly responds to entries from the front panel.
14) 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. Verify that the power cord is firmly plugged into the power receptacle on the rear panel of the power supply. Make sure the power outlet you are using is working properly and verify that the power supply is turned on. 2).

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 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 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.
4.4 Menu Descriptions Press Menu to indicate operation mode. View the menu on the VFD, and use the scroll through the complete menu listed below. Press Enter keys or the knob to 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 a menu and you can now use the keys to select other menu parameter.
Power SN display the serial number Soft Version Display the firmware version Cal Information Error Information Exit Exit Menu 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.
V-set Solution 2: Press , then use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the desired position and adjust the value with the knob. (Make sure the knob function is enabled in the systems menu,, otherwise use solution 1). Press Esc or Enter to return to meter mode. (Otherwise the cursor will remain visible indefinitely or until the system Wait time timer expires).
Press Recall followed by a number 1 – 50 to recall operating state assigned to this location. You can also use the SCPI command:*SAV、*RCL to save and recall. Over Temperature Protection If the internal temperature of the power supply exceeds 80 °C, the instrument will protect itself by automatically turning power OFF. When this happens you will hear a buzzer and the display will indicate the following: Over Temp 4.6 Menu Function In menu operation, the selection.
Baud Rate Set This parameter configures the baud rate for serial communication. Possible values are 4800,9600,19200 or 38400. When operating the power supply in remote mode, make sure that you configure identical baud rate settings for the power supply and the computer. The default setting is 9600. Communication Parity This parameter sets the parity bit for serial communication. Possible values are NONE, ODD and EVEN. Default setting is NONE.
Out Series Set This function configures the instrument for series operation of 2 channels. “None” means that each channel operates independently (power supply not in series mode). “1+2” means that channel 1 and channel 2 operate in series, 1+3 means that channel 1 and channel 3 operate in series. Note: Channels 2 and 3 can NOT be configured for series operation.
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.
Power Information The following menus provide information about the specific power supply unit. Power Model: the model of power supply For example: 30V,3A*2CH 5V, 3A*1CH Power SN: the serial number For example: 001001156074001165 Soft Version: the version number of the power supply For example: Soft Version=1.
5. Remote Operation The DB9 interface connector on the rear panel of the power supply can be connected to a RS-232 or USB interface via the included adapter cable. This chapter describes how to use a computer to control the output of the power supply. 5.1 Communication cable RS232 Communication cable IT-E131 The DB9 interface connector on the rear panel of the power supply provides a TTL voltage level interface.
5.2 Communication between Power Supply and PC Before putting the instrument into remote operation, make sure that the baud rate, parity bit and communication address settings on the power supply and computer side are identical, otherwise communication will not be possible. 1. Address Range is 0 to 30. Default setting is 0.
