CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 User Manual Content
This user's manual contains the operating instructions, installation instructions and specifications
of the Z
+
Series 200W, 400W, 600W and 800W power supply series. The instructions refer to the
standard power supplies, including the built-in USB and RS232/485 serial communication. For
information related to operation with the optional LAN and IEEE, refer to User Manual for power
supply LAN and IEEE.
1.2 Introduction
1.2.1 General Description
Z
+
Series power supplies are wide output range, high performance switching power supplies. The
Z
+
Series is power factor corrected and operates from worldwide AC voltage range continuously.
Output voltage and current are continuously displayed and LED indicators show the complete
operating status of the power supply. The Front Panel controls allow the user to set the output
parameters, the protection levels (Over-Voltage protection, Under-Voltage protection and Foldback)
and preview the settings. The rear panel includes the necessary connectors to control and monitor
the power supply operation by remote analog signals or by the built-in serial communication USB
and RS232/485. LAN, IEEE and Isolated-Analog programming/monitoring are optional.
