Section 1. Features and Specifications Description The Analog Programming (APG) Interface is an internal option card for analog programming of XT and HPD Series DC power supplies with a 0-10Vdc programming source or a 0-10k Ω resistance. A 25-pin female DSUB connector on the unit's rear panel enables connections to the card. Features • Programming output voltage and/or current limit using a 0-10Vdc programming source or a 0-10k Ω resistance. Externally adjustable offset and range. • Fixed

Section 2. Installation and Configuration Introduction We usually install the APG interface in a power supply at the factory. Your local distributor or service center can also install the interface, especially for use in a previously-purchased supply already on site. Initial Inspection CAUTION ! If you remove the unit's cover, use proper static control techniques to avoid damage to static-sensitive components on the printed circuit board. On first receiving your unit, perform a quick physica

Section 2. Installation and Configuration Configuring Configuring Configure and adjust the analog programming interface installed in your XT or HPD DC power supply as indicated in this section. The front panel LEDs indicate when V or I programming is selected (PGM), when TTL shutdown has occurred (S/D), and when the supply exceeds the voltage trip point OVP). You can adjust the OVP right at the front panel. You will find the main programming option switch and connector on the unit's rear pa
