Receiving Inspection Important Warnings Immediately upon receipt, unpack the KONSTANTER and all included accessories, and inspect for completeness and possible damage. WARNING I – Protective Ground The KONSTANTER may only be operated with a connected protective conductor. Any interruption of the protective conductor, either inside or outside of the KONSTANTER or disconnection of the protective conductor terminal, may render the KONSTANTER hazardous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.

2 Preparation for Operation and Initial Start-Up 2.1 Connection to the Mains Observe WARNING I! CAUTON! Before switching the KONSTANTER on, make sure that your local mains voltage corresponds with the operating voltage specified on the instrument’s rear panel. increasing voltage as required at the output jacks. ☞ Voltage limiting remains uninfluenced by output current as well during constant current operation.
➂ Replace the filler strips with the 19" limit stops at the right and 2.4 Installation to a 19" Rack The housing included with the KONSTANTERs has been designed for use as a benchtop device, as well as for installation to a 19" rack. Two KONSTANTERs can be installed next to one another, or a single device can be installed along with a blanking plate. Benchtop devices can be quickly converted for installation to a 19" rack.

Effectiveness of in-rush current limiting may be impaired in such cases, which may cause the mains fuse to blow! [4] 10 ☞ Refer to chapter 4.3 for detailed information. CAUTION! The output terminals are not electrically isolated when the output is deactivated.

4 Adjusting Output Values 4.1.3 Uset – Voltage Setpoint Value 4.1 Output Voltage Function • Predefined voltage at which the consuming device is to be operated 4.1.1 Uout – Presently Measured Voltage Value • The left-hand digital display [4] indicates the measured value Uout for voltage present at the output terminals. • During sensing mode operation, the displayed value corresponds to voltage acquired from the sensing leads at the consuming device.
4.2 Output Current 4.3 OUTPUT – Switching the Power Output On and Off 4.2.1 Iout – Presently Measured Current Value • The power output is switched on and off with the red detented key [9]
5 Control via the Analog Interface 5.1 Connector Assignments SIG1 OUT, SIG2 OUT (output) • Digital status signal outputs with reference to AGND • SIG1 OUT indicates the status of the power output • SIG2 OUT indicates the current control mode • Signal type open collector • Max. switching voltage 30 V DC • Max. switching current 20 mA I-MON (output) • Analog voltage output proportional to actual output current Iout (0 ... 10 V 0 ...
5.2 Status Signal Outputs 5.3 Trigger Input Function • The KONSTANTER includes two digital open collector outputs with reference to AGND for the generation of status signals. • SIG1 OUT – indicates activation status of the power output OUTPUT ON = passive high (= OFF) OUTPUT OFF = active low (= ON) – If this output is connected to the trigger input of a second KONSTANTER, the power outputs of both devices can be activated and deactivated simultaneously (see also chapters 5.8.2 and 5.9.2).
5.4 Controlling Output Voltage 5.5 Controlling Output Current Function • Output voltage Uout can be controlled via control inputs Uset+ (non-inverting) and Uset− (inverting) with an external control voltage Usu. • The following applies during constant voltage operation: Uout = USET + Usu ⋅ ksu USET: manually selected voltage setpoint value ksu: voltage control coefficient = Uoutnom / 5 V – Max. setting error: ± 0.
5.6 Voltage Monitoring Output 5.7 Current Monitoring Output Function • The U-MON terminal, with reference to AGND, supplies a voltage UMU which is proportional to Uout. • U-MON is used as a control voltage for series master-slave connection (see 5.9.2). • U-MON can also be used for external measuring, monitoring and recording purposes. • The following applies: UMU = Uout ⋅ kMU ⋅ kload = 0 ... 10 V kMU = 10 V / Uoutnom, U monitor coefficient Ri (U-MONITOR) = 9.
5.8 Parallel Operation The outputs of any number of KONSTANTERs can be parallel connected if output current from a single KONSTANTER is insufficient for your application. CAUTION If outputs with different nominal voltage values are parallel connected, all of the outputs must be limited to the lowest nominal voltage value within the system. This setting is accomplished with the Ulim parameter. • As of this point in time, the corresponding KONSTANTER supplies a portion of the load current.
5.8.2 Parallel Master-Slave Operation Function Parallel master-slave connection provides for significant advantages as opposed to direct parallel connection: • Equally suitable for voltage and current regulation • Output parameters (output voltage, cumulative current limiting, output ON/OFF) are fully controlled by the master. • All interconnected KONSTANTERs are equally loaded. Wiring • Define one KONSTANTER as the master. • Connect master and slave devices as shown in figure 5.8.2.
5.9 Series Operation The outputs of several devices can be connected in series if output voltage from a single device is insufficient, or if a ± voltage needs to be generated. WARNING! Maximal allowable cumulative output voltage for series connection is 120 V (or 240 V with grounded neutral). 5.9.1 Direct Series Operation CAUTION! When outputs with different nominal values are series connected, the highest selected current flows at all outputs in the event of short-circuit.
5.9.2 Series Master-Slave Operation Function Series master-slave connection provides for significant advantages as opposed to direct series connection: • Equally suitable for voltage and current regulation • Output parameters (cumulative output voltage, current limiting, output ON/OFF) are fully controlled by the master. • All interconnected KONSTANTERs are equally loaded. Wiring • Define one device as the master. • Connect master and slave devices as shown in figure 5.9.2.
5.10 Varying Internal Output Resistance Function • Internal resistance at the output is equal to practically 0 Ω in the voltage regulating mode. • Internal resistance can be increased at the output for some applications, e.g. for the simulation of long power leads or weak automotive batteries. The selected (open-circuit) output voltage drops proportionately as load increases (see figure 5.10 a). Connection • Wire the analog interface in accordance with figure 5.10 c.

Recalibration The respective measuring task and the stress to which your measuring instrument is subjected affect the ageing of the components and may result in deviations from the guaranteed accuracy. If high measuring accuracy is required and the instrument is frequently used in field applications, combined with transport stress and great temperature fluctuations, we recommend a relatively short calibration interval of 1 year.
