3 Peak Current
4.1 Series Operation
¡
You can use a power supply in series operation. The output cur-
rent in series operation should be lower than the rated current of a
power supply with the lowest rated current among power supplies
that are serially connected. Please make sure that no current ex-
ceeding the rated current ows into a power supply.

2.9 Alarms
¿
PBA300F, PBA600F, PBA1000F and PBA1500F
¡
Alarms (PG signal) are generated from CN3. Please see Table
2.2 for the functions of the alarms. The objective of the PG sig-
nals is to detect whether or not a certain function of a power sup-
ply is working. It takes several seconds to generate the alarm
signals and the timing when the alarm signals are generated is in-
consistent. Please check if the objective of the alarm is achieved.
¡
Please note the followings when you use the alarms (PG signal).
1
The time it takes until the PG signals turn ”High” vary depending
on models and conditions.
PBA300F and PBA600F
…..
less than 1 second
PBA1000F and PBA1500F
…..
less than 10 second
2
If the output voltage is turned off through a remote ON/OFF cir-
cuit, the PG signals turn ”High”.
3
The PG signal may turn ”High”, if the output current becomes
10% or below of the rated current in parallel operation (in this
case, the fan also stops).
4
If the output voltage is decreased to almost 0V or decreased
rapidly through an external adjustment mechanism when load is
light, The PG signal may turn ”High”.
¡
The PG signal (Alarm) circuit is isolated from input, output, FG,
RC and AUX.
