nism. When HSF (A, AM) is not installed in rack adapter,
secure latch in open (up) position to prevent damage.
CONNECTIONS. All connections are made at the rear
panel of the RA 19-4C Rack Adapter (see RA 19-4C
Operator Manual).
REMOVAL. To remove a power supply, first use the
POWER switch to turn off the unit. Release the two cap
head screw retaining latches (see Figure 2) by loosening
the cap-head screw approximately 1/2 turn CCW (use 5/
32" hex key) and slide to the open (up) position. Then
extract the unit from the RA 19-4C Rack Adapter. CAU-
TION: The ON/OFF switch must be set to OFF before
removing the unit from the rack adapter. Leave the
latches in the open position when not installed.

III — OPERATION
Turn the unit on using the front panel POWER switch (see
Figure 2). CAUTION: DO NOT repeatedly toggle the
POWER on/off switch as this may cause unit to fault.
When output voltage is within range specified in applica-
ble Operator Manual, the VDC ON LED is on (green). The
VDC ON indicator can be configured to light red to indi-
cate a loss of output voltage (see applicable Operator
manual). NOTE: A minimum output voltage is required
to keep the VDC ON/ALARM indicator, internal relay
and optional meter functioning (5V model: 4.5V min.
(except HSF 5-60AM: 3V min. for indicator, no minimum
for relay and meter), 12V models: 6V min., 15V, 24V and
48V models: 7V min.).
While monitoring output voltage at the front panel test
points, the V ADJ Output Voltage Adjust trimmer allows
adjustment of the output voltage. The unit can also be
configured to control output voltage using a remote resis-
tance or voltage (see applicable Operator manual).
The OUTPUT RESET switch can be used to recycle
power in the event of an alarm condition. This switch does
not function if the remote on/off feature has been enabled
(see applicable Operator manual).
The following features of the HSF (A, M) 300W and 600W
power supplies are covered in the applicable Operator
manual:
• Parallel Operation, including current balancing
requirements. Parallel operation with current balanc-
ing (forced current sharing) is recommended to
increase reliability and results in minimal output volt-
age bus variation upon shutdown of one unit in a
fault-tolerant configuration.
NOTE: To enable current share and to avoid false
alarm triggers or unit shutdown when operat-
ing units in parallel, the output voltage of par-
allel connected units should be adjusted at
same value (difference less than 0.5% of nom-
inal output voltage). Please see restrictions as
specified in the applicable Operator Manual.
• Remote On/Off and Voltage adjustment
• Protection Circuits
• Alarms
• Keying
• Local/Remote Sensing (Remote error sensing is rec-
ommended for correct setting of output voltage.)
• Options
Voltage/Current Meter (AM Suffix only)
Monitors output voltage or current per
Meter Mode switch. R emote sensing required
for voltmeter to display voltage at the load.
VDC ON/ALARM Indicator Lights green when
unit is operating. Can be configured by DIP switch
to light red to indicate loss of output voltage in
parallel configurations. All models allow select ion
of whether indicator is powered by output or will
function down to 0V .
V. ADJ Output Voltage Adjustment Trimmer:
Adjusts output voltage. Not functional if
remote voltage control is enabled .
TEST POINT (±) Connect to external
voltmeter to monitor d-c output voltage.
OUTPUT RESET switch Used to recycle
power in the event of an alarm condition.
Not functional when remote on/off control
is enabled.
POWER ON/OFF switch Applies power
to the unit. CAUTION: Power must be
OFF before unit is removed from the
rack adapter.
Retaining Latches (2) Prevents inadvertent
removal of unit from rack adapter.
