1.2 Preliminary Checkout
The following steps help you verify that the power supply is ready for use.
1．Check the list of supplied items
Verify that you have received the following items with your power supply. If anything is missing, contact your nearest Sales Office.
One power cord for your location
This Manual.
Calibration Report
Communication cable (optional)
2．Connect the power cord and turn on the power supply
When you turn on the power supply, the front-panel display will light up briefly while the power supply performs its power-on self-test. All the VFD annunciators will light up at once. To review the display with all annunciators, you can check if there is any stroke loss on any annunciator. If there isn’t any response when you power on the power supply, please see Section 5 on page 8 for some service information.
3. System Checkout
When the power supply was powered on, the system will checkout it self, and VFD will display as follows:
7
System Test, Please wait!
If EEPROM was damaged, the VFD will display as follows:
EEPROM Error
I f the latest operation data in EEPROM was lost, the VFD will display as follows:
Data Check Error
If the latest data about off-time in EEPROM was lost, the VFD will display as follows:
Load OffTime Fail
If the calibration data in EEPROM was lost, the VFD will display as follows:
CH X Lost Calibration...
Note: “X” denotes the channel which has lost calibration data.
If the calibration data in EEPROM was error or tthe information calibrated by factory was lost, the VFD will display as follows:
Lost Factory Calibration
VFD displays: the first row is output voltage, the second row is the state when the power supply is on or current.
0.000V 0.000V 0.000V
<OFF> <OFF> <OFF>
Or:
10.000V 11.000V 3.000V
2.000A 3.000A 3.000A
Note: there will be a “?” on the VFD if there is error when the system checkout.

4．Output Checkout
The following procedures check to ensure that the power supply develops its rated outputs and properly responds to operation from the front panel.
Voltage Output Checkout
The following steps verify basic voltage functions without load.
1) Turn on the power supply.
2) Enable the outputs
Notice:
if the voltage value flash, then the power supply is in Set mode, ‘‘Set mode’’ means that the VFD display shows the setting output voltage and current. Or the power supply is in
Meter mode, ‘Meter mode” means that the VFD display shows the actual output voltage and current.
3) Check that the front-panel voltmeter properly responds to number keys
Set some different voltage values, then wait till the Meter mode to check if the VFD displayed voltage value is the same as the set voltage value, and to check if the VFD displayed current value is nearly zero.
4) Ensure that the voltage can be adjusted from zero to the full rated value
5) Check the voltage of the other two channels as above.
Current Output Current
The following steps check basic current functions with a short across the power supply’s output.
1) Turn on the power supply
2) Disable the output
Press
On/Off key to ensure that the output is disabled. The ON annunciator is turned off.
3) Connect a short across (+) and (-) output terminals with an insulated test lead. Use a wire size sufficient to handle the maximum current.
4) Set voltage value with 1V
5) Enable the output
Press
On/Off key to ensure that the output is enabled.
6) Adjust the current value
Set some different voltage values, then wait till the Meter mode to check if the VFD displayed current value is the same as the set current value.
7) Ensure that the current can be adjusted from zero to the full rated value.
8) Turn off the power supply and remove the short wire from the output terminals.
9) Check the current value of the other two channels as above.
5．If Power Supply Does Not Turn On
Use the following steps to help solve problems you might encounter when turning on the instrument.
1). Verify that there is AC power to the power supply.
First, verify that the power cord is firmly plugged into the power receptacle on the rear panel of the power supply. You should also make sure that the power source you plugged the power supply into is energized. Then, verify that the power supply is turned on.
2). Verify the power-line voltage setting.
9
The line voltage is set to the proper value for your country (110VAC or 220VAC) when the power supply is shipped from the factory. Change the voltage setting if it’s not correct.
3). Verify that the correct power-line fuse is installed.
If the fuse was damaged, please see the table below to replace the fuse for your power supply.

Bench-top viewing positions Carrying position
7. To Rack Mount the Instrument
You can mount the power supply in a standard 19-inch rack cabinet using the IT-E151 rack mount kit.
Note:
Remove the carrying handle and the two plastic ears before rack-mounting the instrument.
To remove the handle, grasp the handle by sides and pull outwards and rotate it to a special position to let the arrow on the handle and the arrow on the plastic ears be in opposite directions, then pull the handle outward. After removing the handle, you can use a screwdriver to remove the two plastic ears.

Chapter 3 Front-panel Operation
So far you have learned how to install your power supply and do quick start. During the quick start, you were briefly introduced to operating from the front panel as you learned how to check basic voltage and current functions. This chapter describes in detail the use of the front-panel keys and shows how they are used to accomplish power supply operation.
3.1
Front-panel Operation Overview
The following section describes an overview of the front-panel keys before operating your power supply. z The power supply is shipped from the factory configured in the front-panel operation mode. At
12
power-on, the power supply is automatically set to operate in the front-panel operation mode.
When in this mode, the front panel keys can be used. z When the power supply is in remote operation mode, you cannot use the front-panel. A change between front-panel and remote operation modes will not result in any change in the output parameters. You can change the front-panel and remote operation modes by computer. If the power supply is in remote mode, and [LOCAL]key
●
is enabled, you can press [LOCAL]key
● and the power supply will be in panel mode. z The power supply is in Meter mode when it is powered on, and the VFD will display the actual voltage and current output value. And in the mode, And in this mode, if the knob is screwed, the power supply will changed to Set mode, and the VFD will display the adjusted voltage and current value. z The output of the power supply can be enabled or disabled from the front panel by pressing
On/Off key. When the output is on, the ON annunciator will turn on. z VFD can display some operation state or error information. “ ”means the power supply is in remote. And if there is some error information,”?” will be displayed. z If the power supply is in Set mode, you can screw the knob to change the parameter. If the power supply is in menu operation, you can screw the knob to select the menu. And if the power supply is in testing mode, you can screw the knob and set voltage value. z If there is “?” displayed on the VFD, please consult the error information in the menu and check it.

4.2 Communication between Power Supply and PC
Before using the remote operation mode, please make sure that the baud rate and communication address in power supply are the same as in the computer software, otherwise, the communication will fail, you can change the baud rate and communication address from the front panel or from computer.
1． Address: the range is from 0 to 254，default setting is 0
2． Baud rate: 4800,9600,19200 and 38400 are selectable, default setting is 4800
3． Data bit：8 bit
4． Stop bit：1
5． Parity：None
Parity=None
Start Bit 8 Data Bits Stop Bit
1. End of String is ’\n’(0x0a)
2. DB9 Interface Details
DB9 in the rear panel of power supply is TTL level signal .it can be connecting with standard PC interface through the IT-E131 isolated communication cable.
