118032-001  REV G 

WARNING 

AFTER TURNOFF, DO NOT HANDLE 

THE LOAD UNTIL THE CAPACITANCE 

HAS BEEN DISCHARGED! 

LOAD CAPACITANCE MAY BE DISCHARGED BY 

SHORTING TO GROUND. 

 

WARNUNG 

Nach drm Ausschalten des Gerätes die Last erst 

berühren wenn diese vollständig entladen ist.  
Die elektrische Kapazität der Last kann durch 

einen Kurzschluß zur Erde entladen werden. 

 

WARNING 

THE VOLTAGE MONITOR 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. 

 

WARNUNG 

Der Spannungsmonitor arbeitet nicht bei 

abgeschalteter Versorgungspannung, auch nicht 

wenn die Last noch aufgeladen ist. 

 

CAUTION 

ALWAYS OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE COVER 

ON.  DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCESS OR REPAIR 

ANY INTERNAL CIRCUITS.  DANGEROUS AND 
LETHAL VOLTAGES ARE GENERATED INSIDE 

THE MODULE. 

 

CAUTION 

Betreiben Sie das Hochspannungsnetzteil 

ausschließlich mit geschlossenem Gehäuse.  

Versuchen Sie nicht die internen Schaltkreise zu 

berühren oder zu reparieren, da 

lebensgefährliche Hochspannungen in Innern 

erzeugt werden. 

 

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.  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 J4-1 or 
J5-9. 

REMOTE PROGRAMMING:

  Allows remote 

adjustment of the output voltage and current via an 
external voltage source.  In local control jumpers are 
installed on connector J5 in the front of the chassis 
between J5-3 and J5-4 for voltage control and between  
J5-6 and J5-7 for current control. 

For remote programming, the jumpers are removed and a 
positive voltage source, from 0 to 10 volts, is applied to 
the appropriate terminals.  Programming signals should 
be referenced to J5-9 signal ground.  By adjusting the 
voltage source from 0 volts (zero output) to 10 volts (full 
rated output) the desired output can be selected.  See 
Figure 3.4 for wiring diagram and specifications. 

An alternate method of controlling the output remotely is 
by using external resistance such as a potentiometer or a 
resistor network.  For remote control the jumpers are 
removed and the desired resistor configuration is 
installed.  See Figure 3.4 for wiring diagram. 

REMOTE MONITOR:

  Test points are made available 

at J4 on the front of the chassis for monitoring the voltage 
and current output.  The test points are always positive 
regardless of the output polarity, where zero 0 to 10 volts 
equals 0-100% of output.  Test points have an output 
impedance of <10 ohms.  See Figure 3.3 for test point 
designation. 

EXTERNAL INTERLOCK: 

Interlock connections are 

provided on J4-4 on the front of the chassis for 
connection to a safety switch.  The unit will not operate 
unless the interlock circuit is closed.  During high voltage 
operation, opening the interlock circuit will cause the unit 
to revert to the HIGH VOLTAGE OFF mode.  See Figure 
3.3 for the recommended interface circuit.
