To Disconnect the Output Using an External Relay
When the output of the power supply is turned off, it is implemented by setting
the output to 0 volts and 0.02 amps. This gives a zero output voltage without
actually disconnecting the output. To disconnect the output, an external relay
must be connected between the output and the load. A TTL signal of either low
true or high true is provided to control an external relay. This signal can only be
controlled with the remote command
OUTPut:RELay {OFF|ON}. The TTL output is
available on the RS-232 connector pin 1 and pin 9.
When the
OUTPut:RELay state is “ON”, the TTL output of pin 1 is high (4.5 V) and pin
9 is low (0.5 V). The levels are reversed when the
OUTPut:RELay state is “OFF”.
Installation Procedure
The assembly drawings are located in chapter 6, “Component Drawings”.
1 Remove the front and rear bumpers and take off the cover .
2 Install JP3
[1]
and JP4 located adjacent to the connector P5 (the JP3 and JP4
are outlined with a circle in the component locator diagram on page 125). A
bare wire may be used.
3 Reassemble the power supply.
TTL output of pin 1 or pin 9 of the RS-232 connector is available only after
installing two jumpers inside the power supply. See below for more information.
Do not use the RS-232 interface if you have configured the power supply to
output relay control signals. Internal components on the RS-232 circuitry may
be damaged.
[1] For serial MY53xx6xxx, install JP001 and JP002 located adjacent to the connector CN001 (the
JP001 and JP002 are outlined with a circle in the component locator diagram onpage 127).
