3. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION
3.1 Unpacking the Switching Power Supply
The instrument has been fully inspected and tested before shipping from the factory. Upon receiving the
instrument, please unpack and inspect it to check if there is any damages caused during transportation. If any sign
of damage is found, notify the bearer and/or the dealer immediately.
3.2 Checking the Line Voltage
The instrument can be used with line voltages shown in the table below. Before connecting the power plug to an
AC line outlet, make sure the voltage selector of the rear panel is set to the correct position and the proper fuse
installed corresponding to the line voltage. The unit may be damaged if connected to the wrong AC line voltage.
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock the power cord protective grounding conductor must be
connected to ground.
When line voltages are changed, replace the required fuses shown below.
Line voltage Range Fuse Line voltage Range Fuse
115V 97-133V T 10A 250V 230V 195-250V T 6.3A 250V
WARNING: To avoid personal injury, disconnect the power cord before removing the fuse
holder.

3.3 Environment
The normal ambient temperature range of this instrument is from 0° to 40°C (32° to 104°F). Operation of the
instrument above this temperature range may cause damage to the circuits.
Do not use the instrument in a place where strong magnetic or electric field exists as it may disturb the
measurement.
3.4 Equipment Installation, and Operation
Ensure there is proper ventilation for the vents in the SPS power supplies case. If this equipment is used in a
manner not according to the specification, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
WARNING: This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause
radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
WARNING: This equipment is not for measurements performed for CAT II, III and IV.

4. THEORY OF OPERATION (See Figure 4-1)

z Description of Circuit Theory
1) +10V Voltage reference circuit:
Start up the circuits of R306 and D302 to ensure the output voltage of OPA U301, PIN 1 is in positive status when power
is on. At this moment, the output voltage of PIN 1 will pass through R307 to maintain the voltage of both ends of
ZENER DIODE ZD301(6.2V) to 6.2V. As OPA has the character of false short circuit, so U301 PIN3=6.2V, refer to the
VR301 + R304 + R305 VR301 + 4.99k + 10k
Vref = 6.2 = 6.2 ≅ 10V
R305 10k
following formula:
Therefore, the OPA’s output voltage can be changed by adjusting the VR301 as shown in the following formula:
Vref=10V→VR301=1.14kΩ
2) Voltage Adjusting Circuit
The R311, and R313 are voltage feedback attenuating resistors while R312 is to control the output of Reference voltage.
Please refer to the following formula:
R311 + R313
Vout = Vref
R313
If Vref=10V R311=52.3kΩ R313=20kΩ
52.3k + 20k 72.3k
Vout = Vref = 10 = 36.15V
20k 20k
And the R316, R317, C313, C314, and C315 are compensated circuits for voltage frequency.

6. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
6-1. Precaution
(1) AC input
AC input should be within the range of line voltage±15% 50/60Hz.
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, the power cord protective grounding conductor must be
connected to ground.
(2) Installation
Avoid using the power supply in a place where ambient temperature exceeds 40℃. The heat sink located at rear
of the power supply must have sufficient space for radiation.
CAUTION: To prevent the instrument from damage, ensure the working environment is under
40℃ of temperature. If exceeding 40℃, please refer to the drawing shown as (3) of next page.

6-2. Setting Current Limit
(1) Determine the maximum safe current for the device to be powered.
(2) Temporarily short the (+) and (-) terminals of the power supply together with a test lead.
(3) Rotate the COARSE VOLTAGE control away from zero sufficiently to have the CC indicator lightened.
(4) Adjust the CURRENT control for the desired current limit. Read the current value on the Ammeter.
(5) The current limit (overload protection) has now been preset. Do not change the CURRENT control setting after this
step.
(6) Remove the short between the (+) and (-) terminals and hook up for constant voltage operation.
6-3. Constant Voltage / Constant Current Crossover Characteristic
The working characteristic of this series is called a constant voltage/constant current automatic crossover type. This
permits continuous transition from constant current to constant voltage modes in response to the load change. The
intersection of constant voltage and constant current modes is called the crossover point. Fig.6-1 shows the
relationship between this crossover point and the load.
For example, if the load is such that the power supply is operating in the constant voltage mode, a regulated output
voltage is provided. The output voltage remains constant as the load increases, up until the point where the preset
current limit is reached. At that point, the output current becomes constant and the output voltage drop is
proportioned to further increases in load. The crossover point is indicated by the front panel LED indicators. The
crossover point is reached when the CV indicator goes out and the CC indicator is on.
15
Similarly, crossover from the constant current to the constant voltage mode automatically occurs from a decrease in
load, a good example of this would be seen when charging a 12 volt battery. Initially, the open circuit voltage of
the power supply may be preset for 13.8 volts. A low battery will place a heavy load on the supply and it will
operate in the constant current mode, which may be adjusted for a 1 amp charging rate. As the battery becomes
charged, and its voltage approaches 13.8 volts, its load decreases to the point where it no longer demands the full 1
amp charging rate. This is the crossover point where the power supply goes into the constant voltage mode.
6-4. Operation mode: Voltage Operation Mode
A. Set Power switch to “OFF” position.
B. Make sure that line voltage is correct for the input power voltage.
C. Plug power cord into the power outlet.
D. Set Power switch to “ON” position.
E. Adjust “Voltage” and “Current” control to the desired output voltage and current.
F. Connect the external load to the output binding posts. Make sure both “+” and “-” terminals are connected
correctly.
16
The function of the Remote Error Sensing can only be applied to the Constant Voltage mode as shown in Figure 6-3. The
feedback point of power supply must start from the load terminal directly. Therefore, the power supply can display its
function on the load terminal instead of output terminal. To compensate the voltage drop causing from the test lead, it
needs to shift the voltage from the output terminal of power supply, and the voltage on the load terminal remains
unchanged. A large test lead is recommended in order to reduce the voltage drop as less as better on the test lead (typical
0.5V maximum).
Never use the Sense connections without connecting the normal large test lead to output terminal.

7. MAINTENANCE
WARNING
The following instructions are used by qualified personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any
servicing other than the operating instructions of the manual unless you are qualified to do so.
WARNING: For continued fire protection. Replace with 250V fuse of the specified type and
rating, and disconnect the power cord before replacing fuse.

7-3. Internal adjustments
The unit was accurately adjusted at the factory before shipment. So, readjustment is suggested only when the
accuracy of circuit is affected by the repair, or when you have the reason to believe that the unit is out of accuracy.
The recommended calibration device is a multi-meter with an accuracy of ±0.1% dcv or better. (GOOD WILL
model GDM-8145 or equivalent).
If readjustment is required, proceed the following procedure. Locations of the adjustments are shown in Fig. 6-1
and Fig.7-2.
(1) Adjustment of the Rating Voltage
A. Connect an accurate (±0.1%) external multi-meter to measure the dc voltage at output terminals of the power
supply.
B. Set the COARSE and FINE VOLTAGE controls to maximum (fully clockwise).
C. Adjust trimmer VR301 for a reading on the multi-meter to be 18.50V for SPS-1820, 36.50V for SPS-3610,
and 60.50V for SPS-606, 24.5V for SPS-2415, 12.5V for SPS-1230.
D. Adjust trimmer pot VR2 to set the reading value of voltmeter as same as the one shown on the multi-meter..

7-4 Cleaning
To clean the power supply, use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild detergent and water. Do not spray
cleaner directly onto the instrument, since it may leak into the cabinet and cause damage. Do not use chemicals
containing benzene, benzene, toluene, xylem, acetone, or similar solvents. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any
portion of the instrument.
