Mains Operating Voltage
Check that the instrument operating voltage marked on the rear panel is suitable for the local
supply.
Mains Lead
When a three core mains lead with bare ends is provided this should be connected as follows:
BROWN
BLUE
GREEN/YELLOW -
When fitting a fused plug a 5 amp fuse should be fitted inside the plug. As the colours of the
wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which
is marked by the letter E or by the safety earth symbol shown above or coloured green or green-
and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter
N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter L or coloured red.
Any interruption of the mains earth conductor inside or outside the instrument will make the
instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
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 top, bottom and 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.
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 one or two of these Half-width 3U high units in a 19" rack is available from
the Manufacturers or their overseas agents.
All connections are made from the front panel.
The load should be connected to the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals marked
OUTPUT. The OUTPUT terminals are rated at 30A.
Remote sense connections to the load, if required, are made from the positive (+) and
negative (−) SENSE terminals. Switch the LOCAL/REMOTE switch to REMOTE when remote
sensing is required. Switch back to LOCAL when remote sensing is not in use.
