Figure 3 shows HSF’s in slots 3 and 4 connected in paral-
lel (master/slave, master established automatically by
voltage) with forced current sharing and a close-on-fail
alarm circuit. Both HSF modules are configured for output
voltage to be adjusted from the front panel trimpot (factory
default setting). See operator manual for other output volt-
age adjustment options.
Configure DIP 4:
1. (HSF 300W, 600W only) Set positions 1 and 2, to ON.
This connects +S to +V and –S to –V for slot 4, estab-
lishing local sensing for slot 4.
(HSF 1200W/1500W only) Always set positions 1 and
2, to OFF. Local/remote sensing not used.
2. (HSF 300W, 600W only) positions 3 and 4, to ON. This
connects sense lines (+S to +S and –S to –S) for slots
4 and 3.
(HSF 1200W/1500W only) Set positions 3 and 4, to
OFF. Local/remote sensing not used.
3. Set position 5, to ON. This connects the current share
bus (CB) for slots 4 and 3.
4. Set positions 6 and 7 to ON. Position 6 connects the
normally open ALARM (N.O.) lines and position 7 con-
nects the ALARM (COM) (common) for slots 4 and 3,
implementing a close-on-fail alarm circuit (see equiva-
lent schematic shown in Figure 3. If either PS3 or PS4
fails, a contact closure provides continuity across pins 7
and 14 of both I/O 4 and I/O 3.
5. Set position 8 to OFF. This position is only set to ON for
open-on-fail alarm circuits.
6. Set position 9 to OFF. Isolates RV (remote voltage)
lines between slot 4 and 3, however RV is not used
(output voltage is controlled by the front panel trimpot).

Selection
Position 1 connects V+ to S+, Position 2 connects V– to S– .
Both required ON (factory default) for independent operation with Local Sensing.
Both required OFF for:
a) Independent configurations using Remote Sensing.
b) Independent configurations using Local Sensing with user supplied connections from V+ to S+ and V– to S–.
c) All parallel configurations (sensing must be established using external wires).
d) All series connections.

Position 3 connects +S to adjacent slot +S, Position 4 connects –S to adjacent slot –S.
Both required OFF (factory default) for all configurations except parallel configurations using DIP switch settings to con-
nect the sense leads in parallel.
Both required ON for parallel configurations using DIP switch settings to connect the sense leads in parallel.

Required ON for parallel operation with forced current share (connects current share lines in parallel) unless connec-
tions are made via external wires
Required OFF (factory default) for
a) independent and series configurations.
b) Parallel configurations using external wires at I/O connector to connect CSB (current share bus) lines in parallel.
c) Parallel configurations without forced current sharing (current balancing),

Close on
Failure
Alarm
When set to OFF(factory default), individual power supplies produce closure between I/O connector N.O. and COM pins
upon failure .
When set to ON, parallels N.O pins of adjacent slots to allow a single alarm to provide failure indication (contact closure
between N.O. pin and COM pin) if any one of many power supplies fails.
8
Open on
Failure
Alarm
When set to OFF(factory default), individual power supplies produce open between I/O connector N.C. and COM pins
upon failure.
When set to ON, connects N.C to COM between adjacent slots so that individual alarms are connected in series. This
allows a single alarm to provide failure indication (contact open between N.C. pin and COM pin) if any one of many
power supplies fails.
9
Remote
Voltage
When both set to OFF(factory default), allows independent voltage control of each power supply
When both set to ON, enables control of multiple supplies from one power supply designated as the Master.
