5. OPERATION

5.1 Precautions

1. The input AC power voltage of the instrument must be within the ranges of 115V RMS ± 10% or 230V RMS ± 10%, 50/60Hz. Refers to the table “Fuse Replacement” because each input voltage range corresponds to a proper fuse specification.
2. To avoid possible electrical shocks at contact with the power supply case. It is recommended to use the effective ground of the instrument (3° of power cable, round pin) that should be connected to an effective ground, do not use the neutral conductor of outlet for this.
3. Avoid to use the instrument in environments exposed to temperature over 40°C. The cooling device located on the instrument rear panel must be positioned to places with good ventilation.

5.2 Connection Mode Settings (available to UTP3303 and UTP3305)

The selection keys of the Connection Mode (known as Tracking Keys) has the function of switch the connection mode between the power supplies according to his associations. The tracking settings of the Single, Series and Parallel modes are illustrated below:

Figure 5 – Connection Mode Settings

5.3 Limit Current Adjustment

1. Define safely the limit current to the device or circuit to be supplied.
2. Make sure that the power source voltage is equal to the selected voltage of the selection switch, so connect the power cable between the outlet and the power supply and turn it on.
3. Adjust the VOLTAGE control to a voltage between 0.5 and 5V.
4. Temporally short-circuit the power supply terminals (+) and (-) with the provided connection cables.
5. Adjust the CURRENT control to obtain the defined limit current previously (item 1) through the reading of the Current Output Display.
6. The limit current (Overload Protection) is already adjusted. Do not change the CURRENT control after this step.
7. Remove the short-circuit between the terminals (+) and (-) and adjust the desired voltage.
8. Connect the power supply, now adjusted, to the device or circuit to be supplied.

Figure 6 – Limit Current Adjustment

Notes:
The previously procedures can be performed individually for each one of the adjustable power supplies of the models UTP3303 and UTP3305. as well as to the models UTP1303 and UTP1305.
Remember that when the load requires a higher current than the adjusted limited, the power supply starts to decrease automatically the supplied voltage, and keeps the limit current adjusted (constant current is displayed by the indicator C.C).

5.4 Constant Voltage / Constant Current Features

The working feature of these instrument is called automatic constant voltage / current crossover. It allows a continuous transition of the constant current mode to the constant voltage in response to the load variation. The intersection of the constant voltage and constant current modes is called crossover point. The Figure 7 illustrate the relationship between the crossover point and the load.
For example, if the load is such the power supply operates in constant voltage mode, so a regulated output voltage is supplied. This output voltage keeps constant with the increasing of the load till the point that the adjusted limit current is reached. At this point, the current becomes constant and the voltage starts to decrease proportionally to the load increasing. This point is indicated by C.V and C.C indicators.

Figure 7 – Constant Voltage and Constant Current features.

Similarly, the crossover of the constant current to constant voltage occurs automatically with the load decreasing. A good example of this can be the load of a 12V battery. Initially the open circuit voltage of the power supply can be adjusted for 13.8V. A weak battery will behave as a high load and the power supply will operate in the constant current mode, that could be adjusted for 1A in example. After the complete battery charge, its voltage is close to 13.8V, the load to the source decreases until the point where it is not necessary a 1A current. This point is the crossover where the power supply will start to operate in the Constant Voltage mode and at this time the C.C indicator turns off and the C.V indicador turn on.

5.5 Single Operation Mode

1. Set the ON / OFF key to the position OFF.
2. Make sure that the power source voltage is equal to the selected voltage of the selection switch
3. Connect the power cable between the outlet and the power supply
4. Set the ON / OFF key to the position ON.
5. Adjust the voltage control (VOLTAGE) to the desired value. Remembers that the maximum current provided by the power supply is approximately 3A ( UTP1303 and UTP3303) or 5A (UTP1305 and UTP3305).
6. Connect the output terminal to the load respecting the polarities (+) and (-), according to the following figure.

Figure 8 – Models UTP1303 and UTP1305 or each one of the adjustable power supplies of the Models UTP3303 and UTP3305 Connection.

Notes:
If you wish to adjust and limit current different of 3A or 5A, in each power supply, follow the procedures of the Limit Current Adjustment (anteriorly described). The above procedures can be performed individually for each one of the adjustable power supplies of the models UTP3303 and UTP3305, as well as for the models UTP1303 and UTP1305 .
