1. Outline: Describes the compact and high-performance DC constant voltage/current power supplies with 3.5-digit voltage and 3-digit current LED indicators. Output is adjustable from 0 to rated values via serial control. Features coarse/fine adjustment, digital display, output on/off, and remote sensing functions. 2. Features: Highlights low ripple and noise, voltage/current concurrent digital LED display, and increased output capability through serial/parallel operation. Also notes floating output, output sensor terminals, and systematization via remote controls. 6. Operation Procedures: 6-1 Single operation: Perform panel operation, ensuring rear switches are set to MASTER/LOCAL. 6-2 Remote sensing: For fine load terminal voltage setting, insert sensor plugs. Note that in normal use, the plug should not be inserted. 6-3 Various remote control functions: Details remote control application functions, including master/slave and LOCAL/REMOTE switch settings. 6-4 OUTPUT on/off remote control: Controlled by an external contact signal. 6-5 Constant voltage remote control: Via external voltage (0-10V) or external fixed resistance (0-10 kΩ). 6-6 Constant current remote control: Via external voltage (0-10V) or external resistance (0-10 kΩ). 6-7 Serial/parallel connection: Explains how to increase output voltage (serial) or current (parallel) by connecting multiple units. 6-8 One control parallel operation: Master machine controls parallel slave machines. 6-9 One control serial operation: Master machine controls serially connected slave machines to increase output voltage. 7. Maintenance: Instructions for removing the case, changing power voltage, and replacing fuses. 8. Troubleshooting: Table listing common troubles, check points, and causes.

Troubleshooting and error codes

Trouble Check point Cause
Power cannot be turned on. The LEDs on the voltmeter and ammeter do not light. * Power cord connection error or disconnection
* Power switch error
* Fuse blown
The output voltage does not appear. The indicator of the voltmeter does not move. * Circuit error
The output current does not appear. The indicator of the ammeter does not move. * Circuit error
The output is too large. The output voltage/current is not reduced. * Power transistor error or control error
* Circuit error
The output is unstable. Input voltage difference
Oscillation
A strong magnetic/electric field is close.
* Out of the rated input voltage
* Oscillation by a special load
* Separation from the oscillation source
