Mains Lead
Connect the instrument to the AC supply using the mains lead provided. Should a mains plug be
required for a different mains outlet socket, a suitably rated and approved mains lead set should be
used which is fitted with the required wall plug and an IEC60320 C13 connector for the instrument
end. To determine the minimum current rating of the lead-set for the intended AC supply, refer to the
power rating information on the equipment or in the Specification.
Any interruption of the mains earth conductor inside or outside the instrument will make the instrument
dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
Mounting
This instrument is suitable both for bench use and rack mounting. It is delivered with feet for
bench mounting. The front feet include a tilt mechanism for optimal panel angle.
A rack kit for mounting XDL Series power supplies is available from the Manufacturers or their
overseas agents. The rack will accommodate 1, 2 or 3 single units or a triple and single unit; a
blanking piece is also available for unused positions in the rack.
Ventilation
The power supply is cooled by an intelligent multi-speed fan which vents at the rear. Take care
not to restrict the air inlets at the side panels or the exit at the rear. In rack-mounted situations
allow adequate space around the instrument and/or use a fan tray for forced cooling.
Front Panel Connections
The loads should be connected to the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals marked
OUTPUT 1, OUTPUT 2, or AUX.
Remote sense connections to the loads on Outputs 1 or 2, if required, are made from the
corresponding positive (+) and negative (−) REMOTE SENSE terminals. Remote sense
operation is selected from the keyboard or via a remote control interface (P models only); the
REMOTE SENSE lamp is lit when remote sense is selected. Switching off remote sense returns
the instrument to local sensing at the output terminals.

Rear Panel Connections
Main Output Terminals (P models only)
The output and sense terminals are duplicated on the rear panel screw-terminal block marked
Output +, Output −, Sense + and Sense − ; these connections are paralleled with their front panel
equivalents.
Remote sense operation is selected from the keyboard or via a remote control interface. When
the rear panel terminals are used, remote sense should always be selected to ensure that output
regulation is maintained within specification.
Auxiliary Output Terminals (T models only)
The front panel AUX OUTPUT terminals are duplicated on the rear panel with screwless terminals
marked AUXILIARY OUTPUT.
WARNING! THIS INSTRUMENT MUST BE EARTHED.
