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.
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’s manual refer-
enced on page 1).
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).
M models include a meter which can display either output
voltage or current depending on the position of the Meter
Mode slide switch. A corresponding indicator V (green) for
Volts or A (amber) for Amperes lights to show which meter
mode is selected.
The following features of the HSF 1200W/1500W 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.
• Remote On/Off and Voltage adjustment
• Protection Circuits
• Alarms
• Keying
• Options
VDC ON/ALARM Indicator Lights green when
unit is operating. When enabled by DIP switch
configuration, lights red to indicate
loss of
output voltage in parallel configuration only.
A (Amperes) indicator (M, MZ Suffix only)
Lights amber when meter shows Amperes .
V (Voltage) indicator (M, MZ Suffix only)
Lights green when meter shows Volts.
Meter Mode slide switch (M, MZ Suffix only)
Set to V to show output voltage on meter,
set to A to show output current.

Retaining Latches (2) Prevents inadvertent
removal of unit from rack adapter.
POWER ON/OFF switch Applies power
to the unit. CAUTION: Power must be
OFF before unit is removed from the
rack adapter.
OUTPUT RESET switch Used to recycle
power in the event of an alarm condition.
Not functional when remote on/off control
is enabled.
TEST POINT (±) Connect to external
voltmeter to monitor d-c output voltage.
V. ADJ Output Voltage Adjustment Trimmer:
Adjusts output voltage. Not functional if
remote voltage control is enabled .
Voltage/Current Meter (M, MZ Suffix only)
Monitors output voltage or current per
Meter Mode switch. R emote sensing required
for voltmeter to display voltage at the load.
