You can use tap or swipe for switching screens. To switch the power supply OFF use Swipe right or left gesture to get the following message: SWIPE TO SWITCH OFF Swipe up or down to switch the power supply off.
The following automatic functions can be controlled by the software:

• automatic power-off if inactivity is longer then determined of inactivity;
• automatic ON/OF switching at the determined time set;
• automatic switching back ON in case of mains failure.

The RigExpert REAMP software can be used to adjust and tune the display.

Intelligent Protection System

The main task of this system is to keep the user informed at all times to make the use of the device use comfortable and safe.

The intelligent protection system is a state machine that, depending on the parameters of the load, the mains, and the air temperature, provides power consumption control and, in case of adverse conditions, warns the user that power consumption should be limited to avoid damage of the Power Supply.

The power supply delivers maximun rated power if the input voltage is in the range from 115 to 260 Volts and the room temperature is not higher than 104 °F (40 °C). We consider this wide enough range of voltages and temperatures to be ideal operating conditions. In all others cases, the maximum permissible value of power consumption is less than the nominal value and depends on the conditions. Therefore, if the current conditions are not ideal and power consumption is close to the maximum, the protection system will gently notify you about this and ask you to reduce consumption.

For example, with a mains voltage of 80 Volts and at +70 °C air temperature in the room of +70 °C, the maximum output power will be limited to 300 W, and the user will be warned about it.

The power supply has an interface with a computer, that provides you with additional capabilities of device control and its condition monitoring, namely:
The special companion PC software to log consumption and auxiliary data both for USB and Anderson Powerpole® Connectors during the operation of the power supply. USB interface to log consumption data and update firmware.

The following automatic functions can be controlled by the software:

• automatic power-off if inactivity is longer then determined of inactivity;
• automatic ON/OF switching at the determined time set;
• automatic switching back ON in case of mains failure.

The RigExpert REAMP software can be used to adjust and tune the display.

Installing REAMP Logger software

Logging Process

When REAMP Logger software communicates with the Power 600 power supply the software is in measurement mode. The measurement mode (logging) is the operating mode which dispays instantaneous sampling of the measured value digitized and shown in the form of a graph on the screen and saves data to a log file.

Several parameters can be recorded and displayed simultaneously using the contro- ls. You can also set lenght of hte period when these parameters will be recorded and the sample rate. Please remember that after the parameters have been changed, you must restart the measurements by clicking Stop and Play buttons sequentially. In this case, the previous measurement results will be saved in a separate tab in the «Sampled Data Representation» window.

Better to see it once

• Let’s try to register the parameters of the power supply unit together. As an example, we record data about the amount of current consumed by your mobile phone when it is charged.

• The next step is to choose the specific parameter to be monitored. As we agreed at the beginning, we take a current consumption at 5V line.

• Click on the corresponding box in the Channels window. We are almost done. All you have to do is to click the Play button.

• Connect your phone to one of the USB outputs on the front panel. Immediately afterwards, you will see that the phone is consuming current. And the consumption is intermittent.

• Very interesting.

• It’s time to examine the operation of your transceiver. To do this, just stop logging, select a measurement in the Channels window, for example, the value of current consumption along a 12V line, and start logging again.

• To stop logging press the Stop button.

• To see the accumulated data that is outside the screen, use the mouse to drag the time arrow in the desired direction.

• Please remember that although the internal measurement circuits of the power supply have good accuracy, this device is not a laboratory meter. The main task of the logger is to show you the nature of the load that you connect to the power supply, as well as to identify short-term anomalies in operation of that load which cannot be noticed by the unaided eye.

• By the way, if you need to measure currents less than 100 µA, use our other product – the REAMP laboratory logger.

Customizing device settings

The REAMP companion software allows you to configure the device to make it convenient for you to work with it. To go to customization mode, click the Device Settings button.

In the settings window that opens you can set the following parameters:

• Whether to use a special gesture to quickly turn the device on or off, what to do after the mains failure, do Power 600 need to turn off if it is not used for a long time. As the power supply has a built-in ultra-precise real-time clock,
  you can set the power supply to turn on and off depending on the time of day.

• Whether it is necessary to show the clock on the device display when it is turned off.

• Which information screens should be shown and what information should be displayed on each of them. You can enable sequential display of all configured screens to see everything that is happening in the equipment connected to the power supply.

• The new settings will take effect immediately after you click the Save or Apply button:

Remote control

• To control the power supply from third-party software or via the Internet, you can use a special script written in Python. first of all, download the hid_switch_power_on.py and hid_switch_power_off.py files from the Power 600 product page.
• To switch Power 600 on just run hid_switch_power_on.py script. To turn off the power supply, use the hid_switch_power_off.py script.

Precautions

Danger

• NEVER ALLOW ANYONE, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, to push anything into the case holes or to otherwise touch the power supply or its connecting cables.
  There is grave danger of fatal electrical shock

• Do not plug/unplug the power supply with wet hands.
  It may easily cause electric shock.

• Do not use the power supply where there may be flammable gas.
  This may cause fire and explosion.

Caution

• DO NOT OBSTRUCT AIR INTAKE or EXHAUST areas of the power supply. Keep a minimum distance of 20cm (8 inches) clear of the rear panel air exhaust opening.

• Note that your grounding system may have to handle a current of more than 15 Amperes. This requires an adequately sized and well-maintained conductor of at least 4 mm2 (AWG 11 or AWG 13). If this is not the case at your operating location, you should make the necessary changes using a licensed electrician.

• Do not undertake or perform any repair or adjustment of your power supply yourself, including any attempt to change hardware.

• Doing so creates a potentially fatal shock hazard and may damage the power supply or equipment connected to it. RigExpert is not responsi-ble for any such personal injury or equipment damage, whether caused by accident or as a result of good faith efforts of repair or adjustment.

• Make sure that devices that are to be connected to the power supply meet its specifications, otherwise it may cause damage to the product.

• Always hold the plug when plugging/unplugging the power supply.
  Never unplug the power supply by pulling the cable as it may cause fire, shock and damage to the power supply.

• Unplug the power supply immediately if anything unusual happens, such as smoke and or strange odors coming from it.
  Contact the authorized service centers immediately for service.

• Do not use the power supply for devices that require high current input at the start, such as motorized equipment and tools.
  Do not charge the car battery. This may trigger the overcurrent protec-tion circuit or even may cause damage to the power supply.
