4.2. FEATURES
4.2.1. HARDWARE
4.2.1.1. AC POWER INPUT CONNECTOR
The M3628ACF is equipped with a standard IEC C14 connector for input
power. This connector mates with a standard C13 cable, commonly used
with desktop computers, to provide power to the unit.
4.2.1.2. DC OUTPUT CONNECTORS
Two banana jacks provide the user with DC output voltage between 0 and
1000VDC. These connectors accept standard 4mm banana plugs.
4.2.1.3. DISPLAY
The digital display presents the user with information about the present
status of the system, including the output voltage and current. The display
also presents the user with options to control system operation, including
charging and discharging attached capacitors.
4.2.1.4. DIRECTIONAL BUTTONS
Each of the four buttons corresponds to a direction, up, down, left or right.
Up and down move the cursor among menu items. On screens where
numbers are input by the user, the left and right buttons move the cursor,
while the up and down buttons change the selected digits. On some
screens, certain buttons may have no function at all.
4.2.1.5. ENTER AND CANCEL BUTTON
The green enter button selects menu options. On a menu screen, the
cancel button will return you to the previous menu. While a standard
charge or profile charge is active, the cancel button will act as an
immediate discharge button.
4.2.1.6. VOLTAGE PRESENT INDICATOR
Do not use this light as an indication that the output is safe to work on!
Always check the output with a working voltmeter before servicing
equipment, as the lamp may be malfunctioning!
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD! This unit produces dangerous levels of
voltage that can cause injury or death. Always follow safety protocols when
working with high voltages!
A red light indicates that there is voltage on the DC output of the unit. Do
not touch the output connectors or the attached equipment while this light
is on, as electric shock will result.
4.2.1.7. POWER SWITCH / CIRCUIT BREAKER
The Power Switch also acts as a circuit breaker to protect from overload
conditions. If the breaker is tripped, you can reset it by simply turning the
switch back on.
