the switch across the BOP-GL out-
put to ensure safety before han-
dling BOP-GL connections. When
connecting the battery, the switch
across the output should be
opened after the connections are
complete and then the switch in
series with the battery should be
closed. If the constant-voltage-type
active electronic load is adjusted to
zero before handling the power
supply-to-load connections, only
the switch across the BOP-GL out-
put is required.
Battery. This mode is necessary for the power sup-
ply to function properly and safely with either battery
or constant-voltage-type active electronic loads.
This mode prevents the battery from discharging
during the OFF state. When the output is disabled
(set to OFF), the BOP-GL will go to current mode,
current will be set to zero, with voltage protect and
current limit set to maximum. In this way the battery
will not be discharged while the output is OFF. For
constant-voltage-type active electronic loads this
mode stops energy flow during the OFF state. Table
6 indicates how the power supply responds to a
command to go from Output ON to OFF.
CONFIGURE LOAD TYPE. To configure, per-
form “Reset Power-up” on page 8 and change S3 as
desired.
ENABLING/DISABLING OUTPUT POWER.
The behavior of the unit when disabled depends on
the Load Type setting (see Table 6 for details). There
are four ways to disable the output, refer to Operator
Manual for details:
1. Using Remote Shutdown pin 2 (referenced to pin
1) of the Protection Ext. port. This faults the unit,
and requires the unit to be turned off, then on in
order to restore operation.
2. Using Remote On-Off at pin 2 (referenced to pin
1) of the Trigger port which sets the output to off
(disabled) or on (enabled) by toggling a signal
applied to the Trigger port. This requires sending
either:
a. OUT:CONT:HIGH: output on if pin 2 open or
high, output off if pin 2 shorted or low.
b. OUT:CONT:LOW: output on if pin 2 shorted or
low, output off if pin 2 open or high.
3. Using Remote On-Off at pin 2 (referenced to pin
1) of the Trigger port to disable the output and the
digital command OUTP ON to enable the output.
This requires first sending OUTP:CONT:STAN
command.
4. Using digital commands OUTP OFF and OUTP
ON to disable and enable the output. This
requires first sending OUTP:CONT:STAN com-
mand.
IX — ADDITIONAL FEATURES
The user is urged to refer to the Operator’s Manual
for full explanations of all BOP-GL 1KW features,
including:
• Changing the Default Power up Settings.
• Remote Shutdown.
• Digital Remote Operation - using SCPI com-
mands via RS 232 or GPIB ports.
• Analog Remote Operation - via Analog I/O
port.
• Details about Protect Limits and Software-
controlled limits.
• Storing/Recalling Power Supply Output Set-
tings.
• Waveform Generation - Sine, Triangle,
±Ramp, Square and Level segments. Remote
operation allows 1 waveform, maximum of
126 segments using LIST commands.
• Operator Testing.
• Calibration - via remote SCPI commands.
• Parallel/Series Configurations -increase cur-
rent capability, voltage capability, or both.
