About the device
4. General
4.1 Prologue / Warning
This user instruction manual and the device are intended to be
used by users who know about the principle of a power supply.
The handling of the device should not be left to persons who
are unaware of the basic terms of electrotechnology, because
these are not described in this manual. Inappropriate handling
and non-observance to the safety instructions may lead to a
damage of the device or loss of warranty!
4.2 Cooling
The air inlets on the front and the air outlets at the rear have
to be kept clean to ensure proper cooling. Take care of at least
10cm distance at the rear to any surrounding objects in order
to guarantee unimpeded air flow.
4.3 Opening the device
When opening the unit or removing parts from the inside with
tools there is risk of electric shock by dangerous voltages.
Open the unit only at your own risk and disconnect it from the
mains before.
Any servicing or repair may only be carried out by trained perso-
nnel, which is instructed about the hazards of electrical current.
5. Installation
5.1 Visual check
After receipt, the unit has to be checked for signs of physical
damage. If any damage is found, the unit may not be operated.
Also contact your dealer immediately.
5.2 Mains connection 2U models
The unit is grounded via the mains cord. Thus the unit may
only be operated at a mains socket with grounding contact.
This must not be interrupted by an extension cable without
ground conductor!
The unit is fused with a 5 x 20mm safety fuse (for value see tech-
nical specs table), which is located in the fuseholder at the rear.
5.3 Mains connection 4U models
Though the device features a three-phase input terminal, it is
used with a normal 230V supply (L + N + PE). Three-phase
input is not allowed because of security reasons. The input
uses L1 and L2, plus N and PE. So the input connection has
to be like this:
Instruction Manual
PS 8000 2U Series
5.4 DC output terminal
The power output is located on the rear of the device.
The output is not fused! In order to avoid damage to the load
application, always take care for the nominal values of the load.
The cross section of the load leads depends on several condi-
tions, like the output current, the lead length and the ambient
temperature.
Up to 1.5m lead length we recommend to use:
up to 10A:
0,75mm²
up to 30A:
4mm²
up to 60A:
16mm²
per cable (flexible wire).
The outputs "+" and "-" are not grounded, so that one of them
may be grounded if necessary.
Attention! When grounding one of the output poles always
check if one of the poles of the load (eg. electronic load) is
also grounded. This could result in a short-circuit!
Attention! Watch the potential shift of the output poles
when using series connection! Grounding is hereby only
recommended at the pole with the lowest potential against
ground. Also see section 11.1.1.
Attention! When grounding the positive output pole (+),
the output voltage must not exceed 300V!
5.5 Terminal „Sense" (Remote sense)
In order to compensate the voltage drop along the load leads
(max. 1V per lead), the power supply can „sense" the voltage at
the load instead at the output. It will regulate the output voltage
so that the desired voltage is provided to the load.
The connection for remote sense is done at the terminal „Sy-
stem Bus" on the rear side, pins 1 and 2. Also see section
„3.1 Views".
(+) Sense must only be connected to (+) at the load appli-
cation and (–) Sense must only be connected to (–)! Else
both systems can take damage.
For additional information also refer to section „7.7 Remote
sense is active".
5.6 Interface card slot
The unit can be equipped with an optional interface card. The
slot to insert the card is located at the rear side. Further infor-
mation about the interface cards can be found in section „9.
Digital interface cards".
