32 KDC Series II DC Power Supplies
4.2.4 Control Menu
The Control menu is used to define the operating mode of the power supply and the optional
analog interface.
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
OVP MODE Use the left knob to toggle the OVP mode. The OPV function
acts as a protection against over voltage conditions. When an
OVP condition is generated, an internal bleeder circuit is
activated to pull the output voltage down. If the OVP condition
persists, the dc supply will shut down the output. The level set
is a function of the mode selected. The following modes are
available:
SVOLT Sets the OVP level to a percentage of the set
voltage. Range is 105 to 110% of setting. In this
mode, the bleeder circuit will be engaged when
programming the voltage down.
Note that for programmed values below 20% of
the available voltage range, the OVP SVOLT
level may have to be set closer to 110% to avoid
false tripping due to noise margin immunity.
Note: Default mode with
–FT option.
RANGE Sets the OVP level to a percentage of the
voltage range. (Default).
Note: Not available with
–FT option.
ABS Sets the OVP level to an absolute voltage level.
Valid data range is 0 to 1.1 x of KDC model
voltage range.
Note: Not available with
–FT option.
