LIST OF
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
PAGE WARNING/CAUTION
2-6 CAUTION: it is recommended that source power of external equipment connected to
the Analog Port be applied through an isolating transformer To avoid
ground loops or possible damage to the BOP due to incorrect equipment
a-c wiring (e.g., defeating of ground connection).
2-8 CAUTION: The rack must provide support at the rear (within 6 inches of the rear pan-
el). Optional slides can also be used (see PAR. 2.4.2).
2-8 CAUTION: When working with active loads, the voltage or current of the active load
must not exceed the maximum voltage or current rating of the BOP. Oth-
erwise the overvoltage or overcurrent protection will shut down the pow-
er supply.
2-9 CAUTION: Never connect the both the load terminal tied to the BOP COM terminal
and the programming device common to earth-ground. This allows a
ground loop current to flow within the BOP which will compromise accu-
racy. Catastrophic damage to the BOP will result if the connection be-
tween BOP COM and the load terminal connected to earth-ground is lost.
2-11 CAUTION: Never connect the load to the sense terminals. Monitoring instruments
(e.g., DVM, etc.) are the only external equipment that may be safely con-
nected to the sense terminals.
2-11 CAUTION: Never connect the both the load terminal tied to the BOP COM terminal
and the programming device common to earth-ground. This allows a
ground loop current to flow within the BOP which will compromise accu-
racy. Catastrophic damage to the BOP will result if the connection be-
tween BOP COM and the load terminal connected to earth-ground is lost.
2-12 CAUTION: The safety features incorporated into the BOP to handle energy from Ac-
tive loads are unable to protect the power supply or the load if input pow-
er to the BOP is lost or if the BOP malfunctions. It is recommended that
the user monitor “Power OK” flag pins 3 and 4 of the external Protect Port
(see Table 2-4) and implement a fast-acting means of disconnecting ca-
pacitive loads or crowbarring inductive loads to prevent damage to both
the BOP and the load in the event of input power loss.
2-15 CAUTION: For both parallel and series configurations, remove links between (COM
S) and (COM OUT) terminals of all slaves to prevent damage to the unit
and maintain system accuracy. Make sure to accurately follow Figures 2-
5 through 2-8 for proper connection of the units.
2-22 CAUTION: The units are now configured as slave(s) to be controlled only by the master.
Do not use the slave keypad, RS 232 port or GPIB port to try to control the
slave(s).
3-3 CAUTION: Pressing RESET will cause voltage transients to appear at the output
which may damage a connected load.
3-5 CAUTION: DO NOT repeatedly toggle the circuit breaker/switch as this may damage
the unit.
3-12 CAUTION: When the ADJUST control is rotated, the active parameter is immediately
effective if the output is enabled (on = STANDBY indicator not lit). The
voltage/current applied to the load changes as the ADJUST control is ro-
