Turn-On Checkout 49 3 Turn-On Checkout Note This chapter provides a preliminary introduction to the power supply front panel. See "Chapter 5 - Front Panel" for more details. Introduction Successful tests in this chapter provide a high degree of confidence that the power supply is operating properly.
Turn-On Checkout 50 Power-On Checkout (All Models) 1. Connect the power cord to the power source (for Series 668xA, turn on the safety disconnect switch). 2. Turn the front panel power switch to ON (1). 3. For Series 668xA only, the Check Fuses and Dew LEDs should remain off.
Turn-On Checkout 51 Checking the Voltage Function (All Models) The tests in Table 3 -1 check the basic voltage functions with no load connected to the power supply.
Turn-On Checkout 52 Checking the Current Function ENERGY HAZARD . Some supplies (Series 668xA) can provide more than 240 VA at more than 2 V. If the output connections touch, severe arcing may occur resulting in burns, ignition or welding of parts. Do not attempt to make connections while the output is live.
Turn-On Checkout 53 Table 3-2. Checking the Current Functions (Output Terminals Shorted) (continued) Action Display Explanation Press AMPS 0.000 Dis annunciator turns on. Press You have disabled the overcurrent protection circuit. The OCP annunciator turns off.
Turn-On Checkout 54 Series 664xA and 665xA Supplies The line fuse is located on the rear panel (3, Figure 2 -l). Proceed as follows: 1. Turn off the front panel power switch. 2. Using a screwdriver, remove the fuse from the fuseholder. Replace it with one of the same type (see Table 1 -5 in Chapter l).
Turn-On Checkout 55 Series 668xA Supplies The line fuses are located on the rear panel (see Figure 2 -4). Proceed as follows: l. Turn off the front panel power switch and remove the input power (unplug the power cord or open the safety disconnect). 2.
Turn-On Checkout 56 Checksum Errors. If the display shows EE CHKSUM , the power supply has detected an EEPROM checksum error. A checksum error can occur due to the following conditions: ■ Excessive number of write cycles to an EEPROM (see "Nonvolatile Memory Write Cycles" in "Supplemental Characteristics" tables).
User Connections 57 4 User Connections Rear Panel Connections (All Models) Make application load connections to the output terminals or bus bars, analog connector, and digital connector as shown on the rear-panel drawing for your model power supply.
User Connections 58 Analog Connector (All Models) This connector, which is on the rear panel, is for connecting remote sense leads, external current monitors, and external programming sources. The connector accepts wires sizes from AWG 22 to AWG 12. Insert Wires Agilent Series 664xA & 665xA IP Current programming input.

User Connections 61 Note If the sense terminals are left unconnected, the voltage at the bus bars will increase approximately 3 to 5% over the programmed value. Since it is measured at the sense terminals, the voltage readback will not reflect this increased output.
User Connections 62 Stability Using remote sensing under unusual combinations of load -lead lengths and large load capacitance s may cause your application to form a low-pass filter that becomes part of the voltage feedback loop. The extra phase shift created by this filter can degrade the supply’s stability and result in poor transient response.

User Connections 64 Auto-Parallel Programming. Program only the first ("master") supply in the series; the "slave" supplies automatically track the master’s output. However, the voltage and OVP settings of the slave supplies must be set higher than the operating voltage of the master supply.
User Connections 65 Connecting Supplies in Series Floating voltages must not exceed ± 240 Vdc. No output terminal may be more than 240 V from chassis ground. Figure 4-3f shows how power supplies can be connected in series for higher voltage output. Series connections are straightforward in this case.
User Connections 66 Be careful of capacitive coupling from the programming inputs to other lines wired to the analog connector. Such coupling can cause output oscillations. You can minimize coupling by bundling the IP, VP, and Common P lines and keeping them separated from other wires.

User Connections 73 External Voltage Control The setup shown in Figure 4-4g allows an external dc voltage to program the power supply output. A voltage applied to the voltage programming input programs the output voltage and a voltage applied to the current programming input programs the output current.
User Connections 74 Connecting Series 668xA Power Supplies To The Load ENERGY HAZARD . These power supplies can provide more than 240 VA at more than 2 V. If the output connections touch, severe arcing may occur resulting in burns, ignition or welding of parts.
User Connections 75 Inductive Loads Inductive loads present no loop stability problems in CV mode. In CC mode, inductive loads will form a parallel resonance with the power supply’s output capacitor, possibly causing current ringing in the load. For a given inductance, the power supply’s CC control loop can be made to stabilize the current.
User Connections 76 OVP Considerations The power supply OVP circuit senses voltage near the output bus bars, not at the load. Therefore the signal sensed by the OVP circuit can be significantly higher than the actual voltage at the load.
User Connections 77 Connecting One Power Supply to a Single Load Figure 4-5c shows how to connect a single power supply to one load. Keep output load leads close together (small loop area) to obtain a low inductance and low impedance connection to the load.
User Connections 78 Connecting Supplies in Auto -Parallel Auto-Parallel Wiring (Figure 4 -5e). Figure 4-5e shows how power supplies can be auto -paralleled for increased current output. Up to three supplies can be connected for auto -parallel operation.
User Connections 79 Program each power supply as an independent supply. If two supplies are used in series operation, each supply can be programmed to deliver 50% of the total output voltage. Set the current limit of each power supply to the maximum that the load can handle without damage.

User Connections 81 ■ The first power supply in a linked connection is a "direct supply" connected to the controller via a GPIB cable. The direct supply is the only supply connected directly to the bus and has a unique primary bus address.
Front Panel Operation 83 5 Front Panel Operation Introduction This chapter shows you how to operate the front panel. It is assumed that you are familiar with the turn-on checkout procedure in Chapter 3. That chapter describes how to perform basic power supply functions from the control panel.
Front Panel Operation 84 Figure 5-1. Front Panel Controls and Indicators Table 5-1. Front Panel Controls and Indicators (see Figure 5 -1) Control or Indicator Function or Indication Display VOLTS Shows present output voltage of the power supply. AMPS Shows present output current of the power supply.

Front Panel Operation 87 Figure 5-2. Typical Power Supply Operating Curve Programming Voltage To program the output for 4.5 volts, proceed as follows: ■ Press . The display will change from meter mode to indicate VOLTS . ■ Press . If you discover a mistake before pressing , erase the incorrect value with the backspace key .
Front Panel Operation 88 Checking OVP Operation Assuming the above operating conditions (voltage programmed to 4.5 V and OVP programmed to 4.8 V), trip the OVP circuit as follows: ■ Gradually increase the output voltage by pressing until the OVP circuit trips.
Front Panel Operation 89 Programming Overcurrent Protection When enabled, overcurrent protection removes the power supply output whenever it goes into CC operation. This prevents the supply from indefinitely supplying the full programmed current to the load.
Front Panel Operation 90 Unregulated Operation If the power supply goes into a mode of operation that is neither CV nor CC, the Unr annunciator will light. An unregulated condition limits the output current to a value that is safe for the power supply.
Front Panel Operation 91 Whenever you wish, you can return the power supply to the original factory reset state. To do this, simply hold down the key when you turn on the supply. The display indicates RST POWER-ON to verify that the power supply has configured its turn-on state to the original reset state.
Calibration 93 A Calibration Introduction The power supply may be calibrated either from the front panel or from a controller over the GPIB. The procedures given here apply to all models. Important These instructions do not include verification procedures.
Calibration 94 • Output current. • Output current readback. • Current monitor input I M (Series 668xA only). You do not have to do a complete calibration each time. If appropriate, you may calibrate only the voltage or current and proceed to "Saving the Calibration Constants".

Calibration 96 Table A-2. Typical Front Panel Calibration Procedure Action Display Response Enabling the Calibration Mode 1. Begin calibration by pressing . 2. Enter calibration password from Entry keypad. If password is correct the Cal annunciator will come on.
Calibration 97 Table A-2. Typical Front Panel Calibration Procedure (continued) Action Display Response Calibrating Current Monitor (I M ) (Series 668xA Only) If you perform this calibration, then you must recalibrate the current output. 1. Make certain the appropriate shunt resistor (see Table A -1) is the only load on the power supply.
Calibration 98 Calibration Over The GPIB You can calibrate the power supply by using SCPI commands within your controller programming statements. Be sure you are familiar with calibration from the front panel before you calibrate from a controller.
Calibration 99 CAL:CURR:MON (Series 668xA only) This command sets the power supply to the current monitor (I MON ) calibration point that is then entered with CAL:CURR[:DATA].
Calibration 100 CAL:VOLT This command is used to calibrate the output voltage. The command enters voltage value that you obtain from an external meter. (If you are entering the voltage value, allow time for the DVM to stabilize.) You must first select a calibration level (CAL:VOLT:LEV) for the value being entered.

122 Digital Port Functions Changing The Port Configuration As shipped from the factory, the digital port is configured for FLT/INH operation. You can change the configuration of the port to operate as a general -purpose digital input/output port to control your custom circuitry as shown in Figu re D-4.
Digital Port Functions 123 Relay Link Operation The digital port can be configured to provide relay control outputs for the Agilent 59510A or 59511A Relay Accessory. Refer to Figure D-1 for the pin assignments of the mating plug. Not used with units that output more than 50 amps.
Current Loop Compensation (Series 668xA Only) 125 E Current Loop Compensation (Series 668xA Only) This section describes how you may use current loop compensation to optimize for inductive loads or for fast CV/CC mode crossover. A 7-position compensation switch for this purpose is located under the cover on the rear of the power supply.
126 Current Loop Compensation (Series 668xA Only) 1 millihenry inductance and 100 micro ohms resistance (see point ) requires switch setting 9 (only switch 3 closed) to obtain 10% overshoot. If the load resistance is increased to 1 milliohm, then the operating position will be to the left of the existing compensation curve (see point ).
