Calibration

1. Ensure that the power supply is turned OFF. Disconnect any load.
2. Connect a DVM across the power supply output to read the output voltage.
3. Connect a second DVM to the rear panel J2 terminals 9 (output voltage monitor)

and 6 (program/monitor signal return). See notes below.

4. Turn the power supply ON.
5. Set the power supply output voltage to 1% of the model-rated output.
6. Adjust the output voltage monitor offset potentiometer (R78) until the monitor

DVM reads 1% of the readback scale. (50 mVdc for 0-5 Vdc readback or
100 mVdc for 0-10 Vdc readback.)

7. Set the power supply output voltage to the model-rated maximum output.
8. Adjust the output voltage monitor range potentiometer (R99) until the monitor

DVM reads 100% of the readback scale. (5 Vdc for 0-5 Vdc readback or 10 Vdc
for 0-10 Vdc readback.)

Repeat this adjustment until the monitor signal is within the product specifications
as found in Section 1, or to the accuracy that your application requires.

Notes:

The recommended accuracy rating for the DVMs is four times better than your

desired readback accuracy.

Depending on the readback accuracy required in your application, you may use

the front panel voltmeter in place of the meter used to monitor the output of the

supply.
