1.1 Introduction

This section contains a general description of your power supply as well as its performance specifications.
Information about options and accessories are also provided.

1.2 Safety Considerations

DO NOT EXCEED INPUT RATINGS

This instrument must be connected to a properly grounded receptacle to minimize electric shock hazard.
Operation at line voltages or frequencies in excess of those stated on the data plate may cause leakage
currents in excess of 5.0mA peak.

SAFETY SYMBOLS

WARNING The WARNING sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure, practice,
or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in
personal injury. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING sign until the indicated
conditions are fully understood and met

CAUTION The CAUTION sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure, practice,
or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in
damage to or destruction of part or all of the product.. Do not proceed beyond a
CAUTION sign until the indicated conditions are fully understood and met

1.4 Output Isolation

The output of the power supply is isolated from earth ground. Either output terminal may be grounded or
the output may floated up to +/- 240 Vdc (including output voltage) from chassis ground

RS232 Interface: (optional)

1. RS232C DCE interface: 9 pin D-SUB connector
2. Port configuration: asynchronous 2400 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bits, no parity
N OTE:

1. All RS232 command are case-nonsensitivity ASCII codes.

2. Use async framing 8 data bits, no parity bit , l stop bit.
3. Bit rate=2400bps
4. Every command string is terminated by CR or LF or BOTH (carriage return)
5. There is one command allowable in a command string
6. A command string enter before “OK” prompt will be reject & no function
7. STATUS opratin explanation:
After a LPS accept A “STAUS” command, it will display a decimal number in ASCII
Convert this decimal number to binary form. each bit indicate a action/status:

bit 0: channel 1 o =c v l=CC

bit 1: channel 2 o =c v l=CC

bit 3,2: 0O: independent

10: tracking to channel 1
11 : tracking to channel 2

bit 4: 0 : digital output off

1: digital output on

bit 5: 0: digtal output 5V

l:digital output 3.3V

bit 6: O: output off

1: output on

bit 7: 0=nothing
1 =digital output overload

bit 8: O=fanoff 1=fan on

bit 9: O=beeper function disbale

l=beeper function enable

bit 10: 0=CC output compensated off

l=CC output compensated on
Calibration For LPS 301-304
Equipment needed for calibration: DMM, such as Fluke model 46 or HP 3479A

Step 1: Simultaneously press and keys to enter

. - - - -
calibration mode.
Setp 2: Measure the DC voltage from the positive channel output terminals
(+ and COMl) with DMM, and then use the arrow keys to enter the
measured value as the +V Lo,
Sept 3 : Repeat step 2. Enter the measured value as +V Hi.

Sept 4: Measure the DC current from positive channel output terminals with
the DMM and enter the measured current value as +I Lo.
Sept 5: Repeat step 4. Enter the measured value as +I Hi.
(For LPS-304 Only)
Sept 6: Measure the DC voltage from negative channel output terminals (- a;
COMl) with the DMM, and enter the measured value as -V Lo.
Sept 7: Repeat step 6. Enter the measured value- as -V Hi.------- ---

Sept 8: Measure the DC current from negative channel output terminals with
the DMM and enter the measured current value as -1 Lo.
Sept 9: Repeat step. 8. Enter the measured value as -1 Hi. Calibration is
completed.'
NOTE: If Error #0002 appear on the LCD after inputting ca1ibration parameter
please make sure all the calibration parameters are correct-and the
re-enter them again.
