J)

 

Depress and hold the HIGH VOLTAGE OFF switch. 
The front panel meters will now read the preset value 
of the KILOVOLT control dial and the 
MILLIAMPERES control dial.  To preset the desired 
level of current and voltage during operation, hold in 
the HIGH VOLTAGE OFF switch and rotate the 
appropriate control dial while noting its 
corresponding meter reading.  Release the HIGH 
VOLTAGE OFF switch. 

NOTE:

  No actual output is being produced at this stage. 

K)

 

Depress the HIGH VOLTAGE ON switch.  The light 
inside the switch should light up and the output will 
slow start to the preset level output voltage and/or 
output current. 

NOTE:

  The SL Series is equipped with a slow start 

circuit that ramps the output up to its maximum 
setting in approximately 6 seconds after the HIGH 
VOLTAGE ON switch is depressed. 

L)

 

To terminate the generation of output power, depress 
the HIGH VOLTAGE OFF switch.   In the HIGH 
VOLTAGE OFF mode the power supply’s fault and 
interface circuits are still active. 

M)

 

To turn off the power supply, turn the circuit breaker 
to the off position (0). 

NOTE:

  If a power supply fault, or system 

monitoring fault occurs, the power supply will revert 
to the POWER DOWN mode.  In this mode the 
output power will be turned off.  The HV OFF lamp 
will be off.  To reset, depress the HV OFF switch. 

 

 

AFTER TURNOFF, DO NOT HANDLE THE LOAD 

UNTIL THE CAPACITANCE HAS BEEN 

DISCHARGED! 

 

LOAD CAPACITANCE MAY BE DISCHARGED BY 

SHORTING TO GROUND. 

 
 
 

THE VOLTMETER ON THE POWER SUPPLY 

FRONT PANEL DOES NOT READ THE OUTPUT 

VOLTAGE WHEN THE POWER IS TURNED OFF, 

EVEN IF A CHARGE STILL 

 EXISTS ON THE LOAD. 

 
 

 

CAUTION

 

ALWAYS OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE COVER 

ON. 

A fan maintains safe operating temperature in 600W-
1200W power supplies by drawing air over the circuit 
components.  The cover must be on in order to direct the 
air flow over the areas that need cooling.  In operation, 
the unit must be placed so that the air intake and the fan 
exhaust are clear of obstructions that might impede the 
flow of air.  The 10W-300W units do not use forced air 
cooling.  Simply maintain ambient temperature 
specifications. 

3.2  Standard Features 

A note on remote interface circuitry and remote signal 
grounding.  Whenever possible, electrical isolation should 
be provided when interfacing with any high voltage  
power supply.  For power control signals such as 
EXTERNAL INTERLOCK, HIGH VOLTAGE OFF, 
AND HIGH VOLTAGE ON, isolated relay contacts 
should be used.  For status signals and control signals 
such as HIGH VOLTAGE ON, HIGH VOLTAGE OFF, 
and EXTERNAL INHIBIT, etc., opto-isolation should be 
used.  If possible, analog programming and monitoring 
signals should be isolated via analog isolation amplifiers.  
Spellman application engineers are available to assist in 
interface circuitry design.  All interface cables should be 
properly shielded.  All power supply signals should be 
referenced to the power supplies signal ground on the rea 
external interface. 

 

REMOTE PROGRAMMING:

  Allows remote 

adjustment of the output voltage and current via an 
external voltage source.  (Output power is also 
remotely controllable with the CPC and APT 
options).  In local control (front panel control), 
jumpers are installed on the external interface TB1 
(or J5) in the rear of the chassis between TB-10 (J5-
10) and TB1-11 (J5-11) for voltage control and 
between TB1-8 (J5-8) and TB1-9 (J5-9) for current 
control. 

WARNING

 

For remote programming, the jumpers are removed and a 
positive voltage source, from 0V to 10V, is applied to the 
appropriate terminals.  Programming signals should be 
referenced to TB1-1 (J5-1), signal ground.  By adjusting 
the voltage source from 0V (zero output) to 10V (full 
rated output), the desired output can be selected.  See 
Figure 3.2A on page 13 for the wiring diagram and 
specifications. 

WARNING

 

An alternate method of controlling the output remotely is 
by using external resistance, such as a potentiometer or a
