The output of[...]

21 3 Installation Inspection Damage When you receive your dc source, inspect it for any obvious damage that may have occurred during shipment. If there is damage, notify the shipping carrier and the nearest HP Sales and Support Office immediately. The list of HP Sales and Support Offices is at the back of this guide. Warranty information is printed[...]

3 - Installation 22 Location The outline diagram in figure 3-1 gives the dimensions of your dc source. The dc source must be installed in a location that allows sufficient space at the sides and back of the unit for adequate air circulation (see Bench Operation). Bench Operation A fan cools the dc source by drawing air in through the sides and exha[...]

Installation - 3 23 Input Connections Connect the Power Cord 1. Unscrew the line fuse cap from the rear panel and verify that the fuse rating matches what is specified on the FUSES label on the rear panel. Reinstall the fuse. (See table 3-1 for fuse part numbers.) 2. Connect the power cord to the IEC 320 connector on the rear of the unit. If the wr[...]

3 - Installation 24 Voltage Drops The load wires must also be large enough to avoid excessive voltage drops due to the impedance of the wires. In general, if the wires are heavy enough to carry the maximum short circuit current without overheating, excessive voltage drops will not be a problem. The voltage drops across the load wires should be limi[...]

Installation - 3 25 Under normal operation, the dc source senses the output voltage at the output terminals on the back of the unit. External sense terminals are available on the back of the unit that allow the output voltages to be sensed at the load, compensating for impedance losses in the load wiring. You cannot remote sense at the optional fro[...]

3 - Installation 26 at the load. When using remote sensing, you must program the OVP trip voltage high enough to compensate for the voltage drop between the output terminals and the load. Also, if the sum of the programmed voltage and the load-lead drop exceeds the dc source's maximum voltage rating, this may also trip the OV protection circui[...]

Installation - 3 27 Fast/Normal Operation A switch on the rear of the unit lets you switch between operating in either Fast mode or Normal mode. When set to Fast mode, this switch disconnects the output capacitor that is located inside the unit.
