3. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION
3.1 Unpacking the Switching Power Supply
The instrument has been fully inspected and tested before shipping from the factory. Upon receiving the
instrument, please unpack and inspect it to check if there is any damages caused during transportation. If any sign
of damage is found, notify the bearer and/or the dealer immediately.
3.2 Checking the Line Voltage
The instrument can be used with line voltages shown in the table below. Before connecting the power plug to an
AC line outlet, make sure the voltage selector of the rear panel is set to the correct position and the proper fuse
installed corresponding to the line voltage. The unit may be damaged if connected to the wrong AC line voltage.

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock the power cord protective grounding conductor must be
connected to ground.

When line voltages are changed, replace the required fuses shown below.

z Description of Circuit Theory
1) +10V Voltage reference circuit：
Start up the circuits of R306 and D302 to ensure the output voltage of OPA U301, PIN 1 is in positive status when power
is on. At this moment, the output voltage of PIN 1 will pass through R307 to maintain the voltage of both ends of
ZENER DIODE ZD301(6.2V) to 6.2V. As OPA has the character of false short circuit, so U301 PIN3=6.2V, refer to the
following formula:
Therefore, the OPA’s output voltage can be changed by adjusting the VR301 as shown in the following formula:
Vref=10V→VR301=1.14kΩ
2) Voltage Adjusting Circuit
The R311, and R313 are voltage feedback attenuating resistors while R312 is to control the output of Reference voltage.
Please refer to the following formula:
If Vref=10V R311=52.3kΩ R313=20kΩ
And the R316, R317, C313, C314, and C315 are compensated circuits for voltage frequency.

3) Current Adjusting Circuit:

The U302 is an Error Amplifier with the gain at:

For example: SPS-1820, Io=20A，R341=10mΩ

Vpin12=Io×R341×A=20×0.01×28.01=5.602V

connected to ground.

(2) Installation
The machine itself is a heating source , please don't pile up the machine while operation. Keep the machine
from other heating source at least for 10cm to assure a sufficient space for radiation in order to extend the life of
the machine. The heat sink located at rear of the power supply must have sufficient space for radiation.

6-2. Setting Current Limit

(1) Determine the maximum safe current for the device to be powered.
(2) Temporarily short the (+) and (-) terminals of the power supply together with a test lead.
(3) Rotate the COARSE VOLTAGE control away from zero sufficiently to have the CC indicator lightened.
(4) Adjust the CURRENT control for the desired current limit. Read the current value on the Ammeter.
(5) The current limit (overload protection) has now been preset. Do not change the CURRENT control setting after this
step.
(6) Remove the short between the (+) and (-) terminals and hook up for constant voltage operation.
6-3. Constant Voltage / Constant Current Crossover Characteristic
The working characteristic of this series is called a constant voltage/constant current automatic crossover type. This
permits continuous transition from constant current to constant voltage modes in response to the load change. The
intersection of constant voltage and constant current modes is called the crossover point. Fig.6-1 shows the
relationship between this crossover point and the load.
For example, if the load is such that the power supply is operating in the constant voltage mode, a regulated output
voltage is provided. The output voltage remains constant as the load increases, up until the point where the preset

m
current limit is reached. At that point, the output current becomes constant and the output voltage drop is
proportioned to further increases in load. The crossover point is indicated by the front panel LED indicators. The
crossover point is reached when the CV indicator goes out and the CC indicator is on.

Fig. 6-1 Constant Voltage/Constant Current Characteristic.

.co
Similarly, crossover from the constant current to the constant voltage mode automatically occurs from a decrease in
load, a good example of this would be seen when charging a 12 volt battery. Initially, the open circuit voltage of
the power supply may be preset for 13.8 volts. A low battery will place a heavy load on the supply and it will
operate in the constant current mode, which may be adjusted for a 1 amp charging rate. As the battery becomes
charged, and its voltage approaches 13.8 volts, its load decreases to the point where it no longer demands the full 1
amp charging rate. This is the crossover point where the power supply goes into the constant voltage mode.

E. Adjust “Voltage” and “Current” control to the desired output voltage and current.
F. Connect the external load to the output binding posts. Make sure both “+” and “-” terminals are connected
correctly.

6-5. Remote Error Sensing

A normal power supply can perform its best load regulation, line regulation, low output impedance, and low output
ripple and noise, as well as the rapidly transient recovery response. Please refer to figure 6-2. If there is any test lead
connected between load and output terminal, the best characters of power supply can not be shown up on the load
terminal.

Figure 6-2 The power supply with local error sensing

16
 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
The function of the Remote Error Sensing can only be applied to the Constant Voltage mode as shown in Figure 6-3. The
feedback point of power supply must start from the load terminal directly. Therefore, the power supply can display its
function on the load terminal instead of output terminal. To compensate the voltage drop causing from the test lead, it
needs to shift the voltage from the output terminal of power supply, and the voltage on the load terminal remains
unchanged. A large test lead is recommended in order to reduce the voltage drop as less as better on the test lead (typical
0.5V maximum).

Never use the Sense connections without connecting the normal large test lead to output terminal.

Figure 6-3 The power supply with remote error sensing

Error Sensing Open Protection
The sensing circuit must avoid open circuit without equipping with Relay, Switch, and Connector. When the open circuit
is occurred abruptly on the sensing circuit, it will cause overshoot on the output terminal. To prevent this kind of
phenomenon, add small resistance R1 and R2 or replace with diode as shown in the Figure 6-4.

6-6. Remote Control

Short the Remote Control terminal for output ON, and open the Remote Control terminal for output OFF.

6-7. OVP Setting

Firstly, adjust the OVP ADJ knob clockwise to the maximum OVP, then adjust output voltage to reach the voltage of OVP.
Secondly, adjust the OVP ADJ knob counter-clockwise slowly until the OVP message appears. Then the setting value of
OVP is slightly less than the OVP which you intend to set.

7. MAINTENANCE

The following instructions are used by qualified personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any
servicing other than the operating instructions of the manual unless you are qualified to do so.

7-1. Fuse Replacement

If the fuse blown, the CV or CC indicators will not light and the power supply will not operate. The fuse should
not normally blow unless a problem has developed in the unit. Try to determine and correct cause of the blown
fuse, then replace only with a fuse of the correct rating and type.
The fuse is located on the rear panel (see Fig. 5-2).

WARNING: For continued fire protection. Replace with 250V fuse of the specified type and
rating, and disconnect the power cord before replacing fuse.

7-2. Line Voltage conversion

The primary winding of the power transformer is tapped to permit operation from 115/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz line
voltage. Conversion from one line voltage to another is done by change AC selects switch as shown in Fig. 5-2.
To convert to different line voltage, perform the following procedure:
(1) Make sure the power cord is unplugged.
(2) Set the AC switch to the desired line voltage position.
(3) The change of line voltage may also require a corresponding change of fuse value. Install correct fuse value
according to the instruction shown on rear panel.

7-4 Cleaning
To clean the power supply, use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild detergent and water. Do not spray
cleaner directly onto the instrument, since it may leak into the cabinet and cause damage. Do not use chemicals
containing benzene, benzene, toluene, xylem, acetone, or similar solvents. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any
portion of the instrument.
