This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
WARNING:
Modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment under FCC Rules.
CE NOTICE (European Union)
Marking by the CE Symbol indicates compliance to the Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC) of the European Union. Such marking is indicative that the Z^+ series meet the following technical standard: EN 61010-1 - "Electrical Equipment For Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use; Part 1: General Requirements." A "Declaration of Conformity" in accordance with the preceding directives and standards has been made and is on file at our EU representative TDK-Lambda UK, located at Kingsley Avenue, Ilfracombe, Devon EX34 8ES, UK.
SAFETY APPROVALS
UL 61010-1 and CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1 - UL Listed, C-UL for Canada, IEC/EN 61010-1 - CB/TUV GS. CE marking, when applied to the Z ^+ series, indicates compliance with the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC in that it complies with EN 61010-1.
OTHER
Z200, Z400, Z600, Z800 series are comply with the following Directives:
• RoHS2 Directive (2011/65/EU);
• WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC).
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
The following safety precaution must be observed during all phases of operation, service and repair of this equipment. Failure to comply with the safety precautions or warnings in this document violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of this equipment and may impair the built-in protections within. TDK-Lambda shall not be liable for user's failure to comply with these requirements.
VORSICHT:
Z ^+ series units are not authorized for use as critical component in nuclear control systems, life support systems or equipment for use in hazardous environments without the express written approval of the managing director of TDK-Lambda.
VORSICHT:
The Z^+ series units have been evaluated to Overvoltage category II.
The Z^+ series units are intended for use in the following operation conditions:
* Indoor use
* Pollution degree 2
* Max. operational altitude: 3000m above sea level
* Ambient temperature: 0°C-50°C.
Z^+ series units are Class I product. To minimize electrical shock hazard, the Z^+ series units must be connected to an electrical ground. The instruments must be connected to the AC power supply mains through a standard certified three-wire power cable, with the ground wire firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. Any interruption of the protective ground conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal will cause a potential shock hazard that might cause personal injury.
ERDUNG
Operating personnel must not remove the Z^+ series unit cover.
No internal adjustment or component replacement is allowed by non-TDK-Lambda qualified service personnel. Never replace components with power cable connected. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power, discharge circuits and remove external voltage sources before touching components.
Parts substitutions and modifications are by authorized TDK-Lambda service personnel only. For repairs or modifications, the instrument must be returned to TDK-Lambda service facility.
Do not connect Z^+ series unit to mains supply exceeding the input voltage and frequency rating. The input voltage and frequency rating is: 100-240V\~, 50/60Hz. For safety reasons, the mains supply voltage fluctuations should not exceed +/-10% of nominal voltage.
NETZSTROMEINGANG
The main output of Z^+ series units is capable of providing hazardous energy. Due to hazardous energy level the output and connections therefore must not be user accessible. Manufacturer's final equipment must provide protection to service personnel against inadvertent contact with output bus bars.
Internal fuse is sized for fault protection and if a fuse was opened it would indicate that service is required. Fuse replacement should be made by qualified technical personnel. Refer to maintenance instructions in Chapter 11 for fuse ratings.
SICHERUNG
There is electric shock hazard when the power supply output is adjusted above 42.4V. Ensure that there is no possibility to touch simultaneously one of the output pins and earth (including the power supply's metal enclosure) nor to touch simultaneously one of the output pins and metal parts of any external products supplied by the power supply when the output is adjusted above 42.4V.
WARNUNG:
There is a potential shock hazard when using a power supply with output voltage greater than 42.4V. Do not turn ON power supply when output voltage above 42.4VDC without output bus-bars or output connector protection assembled. Turn OFF power supply or disconnect power supply from AC mains before making or changing any rear panel connection.
WARNUNG:
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.

This power supply is fan cooled. The air intake is at the front panel and the exhaust is at the rear panel. Upon installation allow cooling air to reach the front panel ventilation inlets. Allow minimum 10cm (4") of unrestricted air space at the front and the rear of the unit.
The power supply should be used in an area that the ambient temperature does not exceed +50°C.
3.6 AC Source Requirements
The Z^+ series can be operated from a nominal 100V to 240V, single phase, 47\~63Hz. The input voltage range and current required for each model is specified in Chapter 2. Ensure that under heavy load, the AC voltage supplied to the power supply does not fall below the specifications described in Chapter 2.
Some components inside the power supply are at AC voltage even when the On/Off switch is in the "Off" position. To avoid electric shock hazard, disconnect the line cord and load and wait two minutes before removing cover.
WARNUNG:
An IEC connector is provided on the rear panel for connecting the unit to the AC power source with an AC cord. The IEC connector also provides the safety ground connection while the AC cord is plugged into an appropriate AC.
3.7.2 AC Input Cord
Refer to section 1.3.4 for details of the AC input cords recommended.
WARNING:
The AC input cord plug is the disconnect device of the power supply. The plug must be readily identifiable and accessible to the user. The AC input cord must be no longer than 3m.
WARNUNG:
The following procedure ensures that the power supply is operational and may be used as a basic incoming inspection check.
3.8.2 Prior to Operation

3.8.3 Constant Voltage Check
- Turn on the output by pressing OUTPUT button so the OUTPUT LED illuminates.
- Observe the power supply Voltage display and rotate the Voltage encoder.
Ensure that the output voltage varies while the Voltage encoder is rotated.
The minimum control range is from zero to the maximum rated output for the power supply model. Compare the DVM reading with the front panel Voltage display to verify the accuracy of the Voltage display. Ensure that the front panel CV LED illuminates.
- Turn off the front panel AC power switch.
3.8.4 Constant Current Check
Ensure that the front panel AC power switch is at Off position and the DVM connected to the output terminals shows zero voltage.
- Connect DC shunt across the output terminals. Ensure that the shunt and the wires current ratings are higher than the power supply rating. Connect a DVM to the shunt.
- Turn the front panel AC power switch to On position.
- Turn on the output by pressing OUTPUT button so the OUTPUT LED illuminates.
- Observe the power supply Current display and rotate the Current encoder. Ensure that the output current varies while the Current encoder is rotated.

- Adjust the output voltage toward it's minimum and check that the output voltage cannot be decreased below the UVL setting.
- Adjust the UVL limit to the minimum.
3.8.7 Foldback Check
WARNING:
There is a potential shock hazard when checking a power supply with output voltage greater than 42.4V. Observe proper safety procedures during the checking.
WARNUNG:
Refer to Section 5.3.4 for explanation of the FOLD function prior to performing the procedure below.
- Ensure that the output voltage is set to approx. 10% of the unit rating.
- Adjust the Current encoder to set the current limit to approx. 10% of the unit rating.
- Set Foldback to CC MODE.
- Short the output terminals momentarily (approx. 0.5 sec.). Ensure that the output voltage falls to zero, the Voltage display shows "FOLd", Current display shows "FAIL" and the PROT red LED blinks.
- Set Foldback to OFF. The output voltage remains zero.
- Press OUTPUT button. Ensure that the output voltage returns to it's last setting.
- Turn the output off by pressing OUTPUT button. Ensure that the Voltage display shows "OFF".
3.9 Connecting the Load
Turn off the AC input power before making or changing any rear panel connection. Ensure that all connections are securely tightened before applying power. There is a potential shock hazard when using a power supply with a rated output greater than 42.4V.
WARNING:
There is a potential shock hazard when using a power supply with a rated output voltage greater than 42.4V. Turn off the AC input power before making or changing any rear panel connection.
Ensure that the protection of output bus-bars or of output connector is mounted and properly assembled for power supplies when output voltage exceed 42.4VDC. Ensure that all connections are securely tightened before applying power.
WARNUNG:
The following considerations should be made to select wiring for connecting the load to the power supply:
• Current carrying capacity of the wire (refer to 3.9.2)
- Insulation rating of the wire should be at least equivalent to the maximum output voltage of the power supply.
• Maximum wire length and voltage drop (refer to 3.9.2)
- Noise and impedance effects of the load wiring (refer to 3.9.4).
3.9.2 Current Carrying Capacity
Two factors must be considered when selecting the wire size:
-
Wires should be at least heavy enough not to overheat while carrying the power supply load current at the rated load, or the current that would flow in the event the load wires were shorted, whichever is greater.
-
Wire size should be selected to enable voltage drop per lead to be less than 1.0V at the rated current. Although units will compensate higher voltage drop in each load wire (refer to the specifications). It is recommended to minimize the voltage drop (1V maximum) to prevent excessive output power consumption from the power supply and poor dynamic response to load changes. Please refer to Tables 3-2 and 3-3 for maximum wire length to limit voltage drop in American and European dimensions respectively.
| Wire size AWG | Resistivity Ohm/1000ft | Maximum length in feet to limit voltage drop to 1V or less |

Table 3-3: Maximum wire length for 1V drop on lead (in meters)
For currents not shown in Table 3-2 and 3-3, use the formula:
Maximum length=1000/(current x resistivity)
Where current is expressed in amperes and resistivity in ohms/km or ohms/1000ft.
3.9.3 Wire Termination
The wires should be properly terminated with terminals securely attached. DO NOT use non-terminated wires for load connection at the power supply.
CAUTION:
When local sensing, a short from +LS or +S to -V or -S or -LS, will cause damage to the power supply. Reversing the sense wires might cause damage to the power supply in local and remote sensing. (Do not connect -S to +V or +S to -V.)
3.9.4 Noise and Impedance Effects
To minimize the noise pickup or radiation, the load wires and remote sense wires should be twisted pairs to the shortest possible length. Shielding of sense leads may be necessary in high noise environments. Where shielding is used, connect the shield to the chassis via a rear panel Ground screw. Even if noise is not a concern, the load and remote sense wires should be twisted-pairs to reduce coupling, which might impact the stability of power supply. The sense leads should be separated from the power leads.
Twisting the load wires reduces the parasitic inductance of the cable which could produce high frequency voltage spikes at the load and the output of power supply, because of current variation in the load itself.
The impedance introduced between the power supply output and the load could make the ripple and noise at the load worse than the noise at the power supply rear panel output. Additional filtering with bypass capacitors at the load terminals may be required to bypass the high frequency load current.
3.9.5 Inductive Loads
Inductive loads can produce voltage spikes that may be harmful to the power supply. A diode should be connected across the output. The diode voltage and current rating should be greater than the power supply maximum output voltage and current rating. Connect the cathode to the positive output and the anode to the negative output of the power supply.
Where positive load transients such as back EMF from a motor may occur, connect a surge suppressor across the output to protect the power supply. The breakdown voltage rating of the suppressor must be approximately 10% higher than the maximum output voltage of the power supply.
3.9.6 Making the Load Connections
WARNING:
There is a potential shock hazard when using a power supply with an output voltage greater than 42.4V. To protect personnel against accidental contact with hazardous voltages, ensure that the protection of output bus-bars or of output connector is mounted and properly assembled. Ensure that the load and its connections have no accessible live parts. Ensure that the load wiring insulation rating is greater than or equal to the maximum output voltage of the power supply.
WARNUNG:
Ensure that the load wiring mounting hardware does not short the output terminals. Heavy connecting cables must have some form of strain relief to prevent loosening the connections or bending the bus-bars.
10V to 100V Models
Refer to Fig.3-4 for connection of the load wires to the power supply bus-bars and to Fig.3-5 for mounting the bus-bars shield to the chassis.

Fig. 3-4: Load wires connection, 10V to 100V models.

Fig. 3-5: Bus-bars shield mounting
100V Models
WARNING:
There is a potential shock hazard when using a power supply with an output voltage greater than 42.4V. Do not turn ON power supply an output voltage above 42.4VDC without output bus-bars or output connector protection assembled.
Ensure that the protection of output bus-bars or of output connector is mounted and properly assembled, and that the bus bar protection is locked by a two SEMS type screws as described in Fig. 3.5
WARNUNG:
Fig.3-6 shows recommended load and sensing connections for a single load. The local sense lines shown are default connections at the rear panel J2 sense connector. Local sensing is suitable for applications where load regulation is less critical.

Fig.3-6: Single load connection, local sensing
3.9.8 Connecting Single Loads, Remote Sensing
Fig.3-7 shows recommended remote sensing connection for single loads. Remote sensing is used when, in Constant Voltage mode, the load regulation is important at the load terminals. Use twisted or shielded wires to minimize noise pick-up. If shielded wires are used, the shield should be connected to the ground at one point, either at the power supply chassis or the load ground. The optimal point for the shield ground should be determined by experimentation.

Fig.3-7: Remote sensing, single load
3.9.9 Connecting Multiple Loads, Radial Distribution Method
Fig.3-8 shows multiple loads connected to one supply. Each load should be connected to the power supply's output terminals using separate pairs of wires. It is recommended that each pair of wires will be as short as possible and twisted or shielded to minimize noise pick-up and radiation. The sense wires should be connected to the power supply output terminals or to the load with the most critical load regulation requirement.

3.9.10 Multiple Load Connection with Distribution Terminals
If remotely located output distribution terminals are used, the power supply output terminals should be connected to the distribution terminals by a pair of twisted and/or shielded wires. Each load should be separately connected to the remote distribution terminals (see Fig.3-9). If remote sensing is required, the sensing wires should be connected to the distribution terminals or at the most critical load.

3.9.11 Grounding Outputs
Either the positive or negative output terminals can be grounded. To avoid noise problems caused by common-mode current flowing from the load to ground, it is recommended to ground the output terminal as close as possible to the power supply chassis ground.
Always use two wires to connect the load to the power supply regardless of how the system is grounded.
WARNING:
Models up to 100VDC Rated Output shall not float outputs more than +/-100VDC above/below chassis ground.
WARNUNG:
3.10 Local and Remote Sensing
The rear panel J2 sense connector is used to configure the power supply for local or remote sensing of the output voltage. Refer to Fig.3-10 for sense connector location.
3.10.1 Sense Wiring
WARNING:
There is a potential shock hazard at the sense connector when using a power supply with an output voltage greater than 42.4V. Local sense and remote sense wires should have a minimum insulation rating equivalent or greater than the maximum output voltage of the power supply. Ensure that the connections at the load end are shielded to prevent accidental contact with hazardous voltages.
WARNUNG:
The power supply is shipped with the rear panel J2 sense connector wired for local sensing of the output voltage. Refer to Table 3-4 for J2 terminals assignment. With local sensing, the output voltage regulation is made at the output terminals. This method does not compensate for voltage drop on the load wires, therefore it is recommended only for low load current applications or where the load regulation is less critical.

Fig.3-10: Sense connector location
Terminal Function
J2-1 Local negative sense. Connected internally to the negative output terminal (-LS).
J2-2 Remote negative sense (-S).
J2-3 Remote positive sense (+S).
J2-4 Local positive sense. Connected internally to the positive output terminal (+LS).
Table 3-4: J2 terminals
3.10.3 Remote Sensing
WARNING:
There is a potential shock hazard at the sense point when using power supply with an output voltage greater than 42.4V. Ensure that the connections at the load end are shielded to prevent accidental contact with hazardous voltages.
WARNUNG:
Do not operate the Power Supply with remote sense wire connected to the load without connecting load wire to the output terminal. Make sure that the connection is reliable to avoid disconnection during operation. Disconception may cause damage to the power supply.
CAUTION:
When using shielded sense wires, ground the shield in one place only. The location can be the power supply chassis or one of the output terminals.
Use remote sense where the load regulation at the load end is critical. In remote sense, the power supply will compensate for voltage drop on the load wires. Refer to the specifications for the maximum voltage drop on load wires. The voltage drop is subtracted from the total voltage available at the output. Follow the instructions below to configure the power supply for remote sensing:
- Ensure that the AC On/Off is in the Off position.
- Remove the local sense jumpers from J2.
- Connect the negative sense lead to terminal J2-2 (-S) and the positive sense lead to terminal J2-3(+S) of the J2 mating connector. Ensure that the J2 mating connector is plugged securely into the rear panel sense connector, J2.
- Turn On the power supply.
NOTES:
-
If the power supply is operating in remote sense and either the positive or negative load wire is not connected, an internal protection circuit will activate and shut down the power supply. To resume operation, turn the AC On/Off to the Off position, connect the open load wire, and turn On the power supply.
-
If the power supply is operated without the remote sense lines or local sense jumpers, it will continue to work, but the output voltage regulation will be degraded. Also, the OVP circuit may activate and shut down the power supply.

CHAPTER 5: LOCAL OPERATION
5.1 Introduction
This Chapter describes the operating modes that do not require programming and monitoring the power supply via its serial communication ports. USB or RS232/RS485 or by remote analog signals. Ensure that the REM LED on the front panel is Off, (indicating Local mode). If the REM LED is On, press the front panel REM button to change the operating mode to local.
- For information regarding remote analog programming refer to Chapter 6.
- For information regarding usage of the serial communication port refer to Chapter 7.
5.2 Standard Operation
The power supply has two basic operating modes: Constant Voltage mode and Constant Current mode. The mode in which the power supply operates at any given time depends on the output voltage setting, output current limit setting and the load resistance.
5.2.1 Constant Voltage Mode and Voltage Setting
- In constant voltage mode, the power supply regulates the output voltage at the selected value, while the load current varies as required by the load.
- While the power supply operates in constant voltage mode, the CV LED on the front panel illuminates.
- Adjustment of the output voltage can be made when the power supply output is enabled (Output On) or disabled (Output Off). When the output is enabled, simply rotate the Voltage encoder knob to program the output voltage. When the output is disabled, press the PREV button and then rotate the Voltage encoder to required value. The Voltage display will show the programmed output voltage for 5 seconds. Then "OFF" will appear on the Voltage display.
- Resolution can be set to Coarse or Fine adjustment. Press FINE button to select between the lower and higher resolution. The FINE LED illuminates when the resolution is set to Fine.
NOTE:
If after completing the adjustment, the display shows a different value than the setting, the power supply may be at current limit. Check the load condition and the power supply current limit setting.
NOTE:
The maximum and minimum setting values of the output voltage are limited by the Over Voltage protection and Under Voltage limit setting. Refer to sections 5.3.2 and 5.3.3 for more details.
5.2.2 Constant Current Mode and Current Setting
- In constant current mode, the power supply regulates the output current at the selected value, while the voltage varies with the load requirement.
- While the power supply is operating in Constant Current mode, the CC LED illuminates.
- Adjustment of the output current can be made when the power supply output is enabled (Output On) or disabled (Output Off). When the output is enabled, simply rotate the Current encoder knob to program the output current. When the output is disabled, press the PREV button and then rotate the Current encoder to required value. The Current display will show the programmed output current for 5 seconds. Then "OFF" will appear on the Voltage display.
- Resolution can be set to Coarse or Fine adjustment. Press the FINE button to select between the Coarse and Fine adjustment. The FINE LED illuminates when the resolution is set to Fine.
5.2.3 Automatic Crossover
When the power supply operates in Constant Voltage mode, while the load current is increased to greater than the current limit setting, the power supply will automatically switch to Constant Current mode. If the load is decreased to less than the current limit setting, the power supply will automatically switch back to Constant Voltage mode.
5.2.4 Output On/Off Control
The Output On/Off enables or disables the power supply output. The Output On/Off can be activated from the front panel using the OUTPUT button or from the communication interface. The OUTPUT button can be pressed at any time (except in Front Panel Lock mode or when a Fault condition exists). When the output is disabled, the output voltage and current fall to zero and the Voltage display shows "OFF". Press the OUTPUT button to recover from Faults such as: OVP, UVP and FOLD faults, after the Fault conditions have been removed.
5.2.5 Safe Start and Auto-Restart Modes
At turn on, the power supply AC On/Off can start at last setting of Output Voltage and Current limit with the output enabled (Auto-restart), or it can start with the output disabled (Safe mode). Press and hold the OUTPUT button to toggle between Safe start and Auto-restart modes. The Voltage display will continuously cycle between "SAFE" and "AUTO" every 3 seconds. Releasing OUTPUT button while one of the modes is displayed, selects that mode. The default setting at shipment is in Safe mode.
- Automatic Start Mode (RUED) The power supply is restored to last operation setting. Upon start-up, the output is enabled or disabled according to the last setting.
- Safe Start Mode (SAFE)
The power supply is restored to last operation setting and sets the Output to Off state. At start-up, the output is disabled and the output voltage and current are zero. To enable the output, momentarily press OUTPUT button.
5.2.6 Viewing Software Revision

5.3 Alarms and Protective Functions
5.3.1 Introduction
There are several conditions that cause alarm (RED LED blinks). All alarms affect the output. When an alarm occurs, the respective fault will appear on the display and the alarm LED illuminates. It is possible that more than one fault (alarm) may be triggered but only the first will be shown on the display. If the second fault is still active when the first fault is removed, then the second fault will be displayed.
The following protective functions are incorporated in the power supply:
• OVP - Over Voltage Protection
• UVP - Under Voltage Protection
- ILC - Interlock
• FOLD - Fold Back Constant Current or Constant Voltage
• AC FAIL - AC Power shut down
• OTP - Over Temperature Protection
5.3.2 Over Voltage Protection
The OVP circuit protects the load in the event of a remote or local programming error or a power supply failure. The protection circuit monitors the voltage at the power supply sense points thus providing the protection level at the load. Upon detection of an Over Voltage condition, the power supply output will shut down.
5.3.2.1 Setting the OVP Level
The OVP can be set when the power supply output is Enabled (On) or Disabled (Off). The minimum setting level is 5% above the output voltage, or the value in Table 5-1, whichever is higher. The maximum setting level is shown in Table 5-1.
- Press PROT button. PROT (GREEN) LED illuminates. "OUP" message appears on the Voltage display.
- Press Voltage encoder. "OUP" message appears on the Voltage display and the Current display shows OVP setting level.
- Rotate the Current encoder to adjust the OVP level.
- Press PROT button twice or wait 15 sec. to return display to its previous state and then PROT LED turns OFF.
| Min. OVPMax. OVPModel | |
| 0.5V12.0V10V | |
| 1.0V24.0V20V | |
| 2.0V40.0V36V | |
| 5.0V66.0V60V | |
| 5.0V110.0V100V |
Table 5-1: Maximum/Minimum OVP setting levels
5.3.2.2 Resetting the OVP Circuit
To reset the OVP circuit after activation:
-
Reduce the power supply Output Voltage setting below the OVP set level.
-
Ensure that the load and the sense wiring is connected properly.
-
Four methods to reset the OVP circuit.
-
Press OUTPUT button.
- AC recycle.
• On/Off recycle by analog control (Interlock). - Send communication command to enable output.
5.3.3 Under Voltage Protection and Under Voltage Limit
The UVL function prevents output voltage setting below UVL set value. The UVP function prevents power supply operation if output voltage is below UVP set value. Upon detection of an Under Voltage condition, the power supply output will shut down. The UVL prevents adjustment of the output voltage below a certain limit. The combination of UVP/UVL and OVP functions, allows the user to create a protection window for sensitive load circuitry.
5.3.3.1 Setting the UVP/UVL Mode and Level
The UVP/UVL can be set when the power supply output is Enabled (On) or Disabled (Off). UVL and UVP setting values are limited at the maximum level to approximately 5% below the Output Voltage setting. Attempting to adjust the value above this limit will result in no response to the adjustment attempt. The minimum value setting is zero. If UVP setting is below 5% of rated output voltage, UVP will act as UVL.
- Press PROT button. PROT (GREEN) LED illuminates. Current display shows "UUP" message.
- Press Current Encoder. Voltage Display shows "UUP" or "UUL" message, Current display shows setting level.
- Rotate the Voltage encoder to set "UUP" or "UUL", and then press the encoder. The display blinks once.

- Press PROT button once to return display to the previous state and PROT LED turns off.
5.3.6 Over Temperature Protection
The OTP circuit shuts down the power supply before the internal components can exceed their safe internal operating temperature. When an OTP shutdown occurs, the display shows "OEP FAIL" and the PROT LED blinks. Resetting the OTP circuit can be automatic (non-latched) or manual (latched) depending on if he power supply is in Safe or Automatic restart mode.
- Safe start mode: The power supply stays off after the OTP condition has been removed. The display continue to shows "O EP FAIL" and the PROT LED continues to blink. To reset the OTP circuit, press OUTPUT button (or send Output Enable command).
- Auto-restart mode: The power supply recovers to it's last setting automatically after the OTP condition is removed.
5.3.7 AC Fail Alarm
The AC Fail alarm indicates whether the AC input has been discounted or shut down. When any of these faults occur, the display shows "AC FR IL". Output power is disabled, and the PROT LED blinks.
- Safe start mode: The power supply returns to "OFF", after the AC power returns.
- Auto-restart mode: The power supply recovers to it's last setting automatically when AC power returns.
5.4 Series Operation
Power supplies of the same model can be connected in series to obtain increased output voltage. Split connection of the power supplies gives positive and negative output voltage.
5.4.1 Series Connection for Increased Output Voltage
Two units are connected so that their outputs are summed. Set the current limit of each power supply to the maximum that the load can handle without damage. It is recommended that diodes be connected in parallel with each unit output to prevent reverse voltage during start up sequence or in case one of the units shuts down. Each diode should be rated to at least the power supply rated output voltage and output current. Refer to Fig.5-1 and Fig.5-2 for series operation with local and remote sensing.

5.4.2 Series Connection for Positive and Negative Output Voltage
In this mode, two units are configured as positive and negative output. Set the current limit of each power supply to the maximum that the load can handle without damage. It is recommended that diodes be connected in parallel with each unit output to prevent reverse voltage during start-up or in case one of the units shuts down. Each diode should be rated to at least the power supply rated output voltage and output current. Refer to Fig.5-3 for this operating mode.

Fig.5-3: Series connection for positive/negative output voltages
5.4.3 Remote Programming in Series Operation
Programming by external voltage: The analog programming circuits of this power supply are referenced to the negative Sense potential. Therefore, the circuits used to control each series connected unit must be separated and floated from each other. Refer to section 6.4
Using the SO function and PS_OK signal: The Shut Off and PS_OK circuits are referenced to the isolated interface common, IFC_COM (J3-7). The IFC_COM terminals of the units can be connected to obtain a single control circuit for the power supplies connected in series.
Programming by external resistor : Programming by external resistor is possible. Refer to section 6.5 for details.
Programming via the Serial Communication port (RS232/RS485, USB):
The Communication port is referenced to the IFC_COM which is isolated from the power supply output potential. Therefore power supplies connected in series can be chained using the Remote-In and Remote-Out connectors. Refer to Chapter 7 for details.
5.5 Parallel Operation
5.5.1 Introduction
Up to six units of the same Voltage and Current rating can be connected in parallel to provide up to six times the output current capability. One of the units operates as a master and the remaining units are slaves. The slave units are analog programmed by the master unit. In remote digital operation, only the master unit can be programmed by the computer while the slave units may be connected to the computer for voltage, current and status readback only.
The Master and Slave modes are stored in the power supply EEPROM when the AC power is turned off. The system will return to the Master/Slave mode upon re-application of AC power.
There are two methods to configure multiple supplies for parallel operation (basic and advanced). Refer to Section 5.5.2 and to Section 5.5.3 for detailed explanation. Parallel modes are selected via Front Panel menu. Refer to table 5-2.
| Subsystem Level Function Level Parameter Level | |||||
| Description Display | Function Display Description Display | ||||

| H6 | Master unit with 5 Slave units |
| SL | Slave unit (Basic mode) |
| SLAd | Slave unit (Advanced mode) |
Table 5-2.1: Operation Setting Mode
5.5.2 Basic Parallel Operation
In this method, setting the units as Master and Slaves is made by the rear panel J1 connections and setup via Front Panel. Each unit displays its own output current and voltage. To program the load current, the Master unit should be programmed to the total load current divided by the number of units in the system. The master and slave units operate in a Daisy-Chain connection configuration. For further details about Daisy-chain connection refer to section 5.6. Refer to the following procedure to configure multiple supplies for basic parallel operation.
5.5.2.1 Master Unit Set Up
During operation, the master unit operates in CV mode, regulating the load voltage at the programmed output voltage. Connect the sensing circuit to local or remote sensing as shown in Fig.5-4 or Fig.5-5. Front Panel Main Menu Parallel mode is "H I" as default.
- Press MENU button.
- Rotate Voltage encoder until "PrLL" appears on Voltage display, then press Voltage encoder.
- Rotate Current encoder until "H1" appears.
- Press Current encoder to select "H I", the display blinks once and returns to previous menu level.
- Set the master unit output voltage to the desired voltage. Program the current limit to the desired load current limit, divided by the number of parallel units.
- If there is more than one Slave unit connected to the Master, then set the PS_OK signal delay of the Master to 200msec. Refer to section 5.7.4 Power Supply OK Signal.
5.5.2.2 Slave Unit Set Up
When Slave mode is selected the power supply enters Current programming mode via external Voltage. Voltage and Current programming setting values are set to 105% of range. During operation the slave units operate as a controlled current source following the master output current. It is recommended that the power system is designed so that each unit supplies up to 95% of its current rating. This helps reduce imbalance which may occur by cabling and connections voltage drop.
- Press MENU button
- Rotate Voltage encoder until "P-LL" appears on Voltage display, then press Voltage encoder.
- Rotate Current encoder until "5L" appears.
- Press Current encoder to select "SL". Display blinks once and returns to previous display.
- For wiring instructions, refer to Fig.5-4: Parallel connection with local sensing or Fig.5-5: Parallel connection with remote sensing.
5.5.2.3 Setting Over Voltage Protection
The master unit OVP should be programmed to the desired OVP level. In slave mode, the power supply is set to maximum as default.
5.5.2.4 Setting Foldback Protection
Foldback protection, if desired, may only be used with the master unit. When the master unit shuts down it programs the slave units to zero output voltage.
5.5.2.5 Connection to Load
In parallel operation, power supplies can be connected in local or remote sensing. Refer to Fig.5-4 and 5-5 for typical connections of parallel power supplies. The figures show connection of two units, however the same connection method applies for up to 6 units.

CAUTION:
Make sure that the connection between - Vo terminals is reliable to avoid disconnection during operation. Disconnection may cause damage to the power supply.
NOTE:
With local sensing it is important to minimize the wire length and resistance. Also the positive and negative wire resistance should be as close as possible to each other to achieve current balance between power supplies.
5.5.3 Advanced Parallel Operation
In Advanced Parallel operation the master unit displays the total current of all units connected in Parallel. The slave units display "ON SLUE". The master and slave units operate in a Daisy-Chain connection configuration. For further details about Daisy-chain connection refer to section 5.6.
In the Advanced Parallel mode, the total current is programmed and reported by the master unit. The Current display accuracy is 2%+/- 1 count. In cases where higher accuracy is required, it is recommended to use Basic Parallel operation mode.
5.5.3.1 Master Unit Set Up

- Set the master unit output voltage to the desired voltage. Program the current limit to the desired load current limit, divided by the number of parallel units.
- Recycle AC power.
- If there is more than one Slave unit connected to the Master, then set the PS_OK signal delay of the Master to 200msec. Refer to section 5.7.4 Power Supply OK Signal.
5.5.3.2 Slave Unit Set Up
When Advanced Slave mode is selected the power supply enters Current programming mode via external Voltage. Voltage and Current programming setting values are set to 105% of range. During operation the slave units operate as a controlled current source following the master output current. It is recommended that the power system is designed so that each unit supplies up to 95% of its current rating. This helps reduce imbalance which may occur by cabling and connections voltage drop.
When a unit is programmed to Advanced Slave mode it enters Remote mode with Local Lockout. In this mode, Front panel controls are disabled to prevent accidental setting change except Menu parallel setting and factory reset. Communication commands are disabled. Power supply responds only upon query.
- Press MENU button.
- Rotate Voltage encoder until "PrLL" appears on Voltage display, then press Voltage encoder.
- Rotate Current encoder until "SLAd" appears.
- Press Current encoder to select "SLAd". Display blinks once and returns to previous level.

- For wiring instructions, refer to Fig.5-4: Parallel connection with local sensing or Fig.5-5: Parallel connection with remote sensing and Section 5.6: Daisy-Chain connection.
NOTE:
To release units from Advanced mode select "H I".
5.6 Daisy-Chain Connection
It is possible to configure a multiple power supply system to shut down all units when a fault condition occurs in one of the units. When the fault is removed, the system recovers according to a preset state: Safe start mode or Automatic restart.
Set signal "SO" to positive logic via Front panel (refer to section 5.7.1). If a fault occurs in one of the units it's "PS_OK" signal will be set to low level and the display will indicate the fault. The other units will shut off and their displays will indicate "SO". When the fault condition is removed, the units will recover to their last setting according to their respective Safe start or Auto-restart setting.
Fig.5-6 shows connection of three units, however the same connection method applies to systems with more units.

Table 5-3: Rear panel subsystem menu
5.7.1 External Shut Off Function
SO signal serves as Output Shut Off. It is an optically isolated signal from the power supply output. Connection to the signal is made via pin J3-5 (Shut Off) and pin J3-7 (IFC_COM). The SO pin accepts a 2.5V to 15V signal or Open-Short contact to disable or enable the power supply output. The SO function will be activated only when a transition from On to Off is detected after applying AC power to the unit. Thus, in Auto start mode, the output will be enabled after applying AC power, even if SO is in Off level. After On to Off transition is detected, the SO will enable or disable the power supply output according to the signal level or the short/open applied to J3. When the external SO is triggered, the power supply will display "50" on the voltage display but the PROT LED will not illuminate.
The external shutdown is useful when using the power supply as part of a larger test system in which digital or analog control is required or in "Daisy-Chain".
The SO control logic can be selected via the Front panel as follows:
- Press MENU button. MENU (GREEN) LED illuminates. "SEE" message appears on the Voltage display and "r-PAH" message appears on the Current display.

End of command is Carriage Return character (ASCII 13) and/or the Line Feed (ASCII 10) character.
7.10.4 Checksum
The user may optionally add a checksum to the end of the command. The checksum is "\" followed by two hex characters. If a command or a query has checksum, the response will also have one. There is no CR between the command string and the "\" sign.
7.10.5 SCPI Requirements
The power supply conforms to the following SCPI requirements:
- SCPI common commands.
- SCPI Command Tree.
3 Subsystem commands. - The ROOT level.
- The power supply is powered On
- A device clear (DCL) is sent to the power supply
- The SCPI interface encounters a root specifier (:)
- Questionable Status Register (QSR), Condition, Event, Enable
- Operation Status Register (OSR), Condition, Event, Enable
- Status Byte Register (SBR)
- Standard Event Status Register (SESR)
- Using the MIN and MAX Parameters.

7.10.6 SCPI Command Hierarchy
SCPI is an ASCII-based command language designed for use in test and measurement equipment. The command structure is organized around common roots, or nodes, which are the building blocks of SCPI subsystems. An example of a common root is OUTPUT, and some of the commands that reside in the OUTPUT subsystem are:
OUTPUT
[:STATE]<bool>
:PON
[:STATE]<bool>
:PROTection
:CLEar
:FOLDback
[:MODE]
A colon (:) is used to separate a command keyword from a lower-level keyword.
7.10.7 Header
Headers are instructions recognized by the power supply. Headers (which are sometimes known as "keywords") may be either in long or short form.
Long form The header is completely spelled out, such as VOLTAGE, STATUS, and DELAY Short form The header has only the first three or four letters, such as VOLT, STAT, and DEL.
The SCPI interface is not sensitive to case. It will recognize any case mixture, such as TRIGGER, Trigger, TRIGger. Short form headers result in faster program execution.

CHAPTER 8: ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
8.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the advanced functions of output programmable modes. The are three programmable modes: FIX, WAVE and LIST. The user can program the output transient state. The programmable modes are synchronized by input trigger (refer to section 8.5.1). According to the selected mode, the power supply activates the output trigger on J3-3 (refer to section 8.5.2).
8.2 FIX Mode
Output value is changed via input trigger. Refer to 7.12.3 VOLTage:TRIGger and 7.12.4 CURRENT:TRIGger.

9.2 Power Supply Status Structure
Status and Fault Register shows the status register structure of the power supply. The Standard Event, Status Byte, and Service Request Enable registers and the Output Queue perform standard functions as defined in the IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation. The Operation Status and Questionable Status registers implement status functions specific to the power supply.
9.3 Condition Registers
There are two registers that the user may read to see the condition of the supply. The register bits are set to show a fault or if an operating mode is active. The bits are cleared when the fault or mode is cleared. The registers are read-only.
9.3.1 Fault Register
The fault register sets a bit when a Fault occurs (Refer to table 9-1). The bit is cleared when the fault condition is removed.
Bit Number Decimal Value Bit Symbol Description
| 0 | 1 |
| 1 2 AC AC Fail | |
| 2 4 OTP Over Temperature | |
| 3 8 FLD Fold Back Protection | |
| 4 16 OVP Over Voltage Protection | |
| 5 32 SO Shut Off | |
| 6 64 OFF Output Off | |

Table 9-1: Bit Configuration of Questionable Registers
9.3.2 Status Register
The status register sets a bit when status changes (Refer to Table 9-2). The bit is cleared when the condition is removed.

Table 9-2: Bit Configuration of Operation
9.4 Conditional, Enable and Event Registers
9.4.1 Conditional Registers.
The condition registers show a snapshot of the power supply state at the present time. Some faults or mode changes occur and clear quickly before the control computer can detect them. The change may be latched in EVENT REGISTERS so the computer can detect them even if they cleared quickly.
9.4.2 Event Registers.
Bits are sent to the Event register when a fault or mode change occurs. The bit remains set until the control computer reads the Event register or clears it. The control computer cannot tell if the fault or mode change occurred more than once since the last time the Event register was read.
9.4.3 Enable Register
The Status and Fault Enable registers are set by the user to enable SRQs in the event of changes in power supply status or fault.
9.5 Service Request
A SRQ will be sent when the contents of at least one of the event registers changes from all zeroes to any bit(s) set. When SRQ occurs, power supply sends "!nn" message (nn-power supply address).
9.6 Standard Event Status Group
9.6.1 Register Functions
This group consists of an Event register and an Enable register that are programmed by COMMON commands. The Standard Event register latches events relating to interface communication status. It is a read-only register that is cleared when read. The Standard Event Enable register functions similarly to the Enable registers of the Operation and Questionable status groups.
9.6.2 Register Commands
The common *ESE command programs specific bits in the Standard Event Status Enable register. Because the power supply implements *PSC, the register is cleared at power on if *PSC = 1.
*ESR? reads the Standard Event Status Event register. Reading the register clears it.
Bit Signal Meaning
| 0 OPC Operation complete |
| 2 QYE Query error |
| 3 DDE Device-dependent error |
| 4 EXE Execution |
| 6 CME Command error |
| 7 PON Power on |
Table 9-3: Standard Event Status Group
Operation Complete
Set whenever the last command is completed and the software is ready to accept another command, or when query results are available.
Query Error
Set when a query is made for which no response is available.
Device Dependent Error
Set for device specific errors. These errors are entered in the System Error Queue and have error codes greater than 0. See Table 9-6 for error descriptions.
Execution Error
Set when a parameter exceeds its allowed range.
Command Error
Set for a syntax error.
Power On
Set once at power-up. The Status Byte ESR bit is not set.
This register summarizes the information from all other status groups as defined in the IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation standard. The register can be read either by a serial poll or by *STB?. Both methods return the same data, except for bit 6. Sending *STB? return MSS in bit 6, while polling returns RQS in bit 6. The *CLS command will clear the Status Byte.
Bit Signal Meaning
| 0 BSY Busy bit | |
| 1 0 Not used | |
| 2 SYS System Error | |
| 3 QUES Questionable Status summary bit | |
| 4 MAV Message Available summary bit | |
| 5 ESB Event Status summary bit | |
| 6 MSS | Master Status summary bit |
| RQS | Request Service bit |
7 OPER Operation Status summary bit
Table 9-4: Status Byte Register
Error Information Available
This bit is set when any error is entered in the System Error queue. It is read using the SYSTem:ERRor?Query.
Message Available
Indicates a message is available in the GPIB output queue. This bit is cleared then the GPIB output buffer is read.
Standard Event Status Register
This is a summary bit for the ESR. It is set when any of the ESR bits are set, and cleared when the ESR is read.
The RQS Bit
Whenever the power supply requests service, it sets the SRQ interrupt line true and latches RQS into bit 6 of the Status Byte register. When the controller services the interrupt, RQS is cleared inside the register and returned in bit position 6 of the response. The remaining bits of the Status Byte register are not disturbed.
The MSS Bit
This is a real-time (unlatched) summary of all Status Byte register bits that are enabled by the Service Request Enable register. MSS is set whenever the power supply has at least one or more reasons for requesting service. Sending *STB? reads the MSS in bit position 6 of the response. No bits of the Status Byte register are cleared by reading it.
9.6.4 Determining the Cause of a Service Interrupt
You can determine the reason for an SRQ by the following actions:
Use a serial poll or the *STB? query to determine which summary bits are active.
Read the corresponding Event register for each summary bit to determine which events caused the summary bit to be set. When an Event register is read, it is cleared. This also clears the corresponding summary bit.
The interrupt will recur until the specific condition that caused the event is removed. If this is not possible, the event may be disabled by programming the corresponding bit of the status group Enable register. A faster way to prevent the interrupt is to disable the service request by programming the appropriate bit of the Service Request Enable register.
9.6.5 Output Queue
The Output Queue is a first-in, first-out (FIFO) data register that stores power supply-to-controller messages until the controller reads them. Whenever the queue holds one or more bytes, it sets the MAV bit (4) of the Status Byte register. If too many unread error messages are accumulated in the queue, a system error message is generated. The Output Queue is cleared at power On and by *CLS.
9.6.6 Error Messages
System Error Messages are read back via the SYST:ERR? query. The error number is the value placed in the power supply error queue. SYST:ERR? returns the error number into a variable and combines the number and the error message into a string. Table 9-5 lists the system errors that are associated with SCPI syntax errors and interface problems. Information within the brackets is not part of the standard error message, but is included for clarification. When system errors occur, the Standard Event Status register records them as follows:
Bit Set Error code Error Type Bit Set Error code Error type
5 -100 thru -199 Command 3 -300 thru -399 Device-dependent
4 -200 thru -299 Execution 2 -400 thru -499 Query
Table 9-5: Standard Event Status Register Error Bits
The Status and Error Registers described in the previous section are only one of the status methods in the IEEE board. There is also a SCPI requirement for error messages that are in the form of:
The user sends the "SYST:ERR?" query to read the error message. The messages are stored in a first-in/first-out queue.
The SYST:ERR queue can buffer up to TEN error messages, although the tenth is replaced by the -350,"Queue Overflow" if an eleventh message is generated. After the queue overflow, only the first ten messages are stored and the later messages are lost.
The SYST:ERR queue is cleared by:
Reading the messages one at a time using "SYST:ERR?" until 0, "No error" is read, or The *CLS (Clear Status) command.
If any message is in the SYST:ERR queue (except "No error"), then bit 2 of the Status Byte is set. A Service Request is generated if bit 2 is enabled.

CHAPTER 11: MAINTENANCE
11.1 Introduction
This chapter provides information about maintenance, calibration and troubleshooting.
11.2 Units Under Warranty
Units requiring repair during the warranty period should be returned to a TDK Lambda authorized service facility. Refer to the address listings on the back cover of this manual. Unauthorized repairs performed by other than the authorized service facilities may void the warranty.
11.3 Periodic Maintenance
No routine maintenance of the power supply is required except for periodic cleaning. To clean, disconnect the unit from the AC supply and allow 30sec. for discharging internal voltage. The front panel and the metal surfaces should be cleaned using a mild solution of detergent and water. The solution should be applied onto a soft cloth, and not directly to the surface of the unit. Do not use aromatic hydrocarbons or chlorinated solvents for cleaning. Use low pressure compressed air to blow dust from the unit.
11.4 Adjustments and Calibration
No internal adjustment or calibration is required. There is NO REASON to open the power supply cover.
11.5 Parts Replacement and Repairs
As repairs are made only by the manufacturer or by authorized service facilities, no parts replacement information is provided in the manual. In case of failure, unusual or erratic operation of the unit, contact the TDK Lambda sales or service facility nearest you. Please refer to the TDK Lambda sales offices address listings on the back cover of this user manual.
11.6 Troubleshooting
If the power supply appears to be operating improperly, use the troubleshooting guide to determine whether the power supply, load or external control circuits are the cause.
Configure the power supply for basic front panel operation and perform the tests listed in Section 3.8 to determine whether the problem can be found with the power supply.
Table 11-1 provides the basic checks that can be performed to diagnose problems, and references to relevant sections of this manual for further information.
