Intended Use; Output Current - VOLTCRAFT HPS-11530 Mode D'emploi

2. INTENDED USE

The laboratory power unit serves as a potential-free DC voltage source to operate low-voltage consumers. The
adjustable output can be tapped with up to 5 A at the front and up to the full nominal current at the back. The front
output is limited to 5 A and protected against overload. When switching the outputs of several power supplies in
series, voltages of >75 V/DC, which are dangerous to touch, may be generated. This is why insulated lines/measu-
ring cables must be used for safety reasons for voltages above this. Connection on the front is performed with 4 mm
safety sockets, on the back with high-current socket screw connectors. The outputs (front and back) are connected
to each other.
The connection cables used must be large enough. Where the conductor section is too small,
overheating and fire may result
The output data of the laboratory measuring devices is as follows:
Type
HPS-11530
HPS-11560
HPS-13015
HPS-13030
HPS-16010
Current and voltage can be set continually through digital rotary controls using coarse and fine settings in order
to allow fast and precise value settings. The values are displayed on the structured LC display. A power limit for
constant power operation can be pre-set without a shorting bar.
The power unit can be remote-controlled An external voltage (0 - 5 V/DC) or external potentiometer (5 kOhm) can
be used to set the output voltage and output current. The DC output is turned on and off via the a switching contact.
Model HPS-11560 also has a remote sensor function (SENSE). The voltage drop in case of high load currents can
be compensated for this way. The output voltage at the consumer remains absolutely stable and independent from
the load.
Three freely programmable memory slots can be assigned to different fixed voltages and current limitations. The
selection switch is located at the back of the device.
The device is overload- and short-circuit-proof and contains a safety temperature cut-off.
The laboratory power unit is designed in compliance with protection class 1. It is only approved for connection to
shockproof sockets with protective grounding and an alternating current of 230V/AC commonly used in households.
The mains socket must be located close to the device and easily accessible, or an emergency stop fixture must be
available.
Operation under adverse environmental conditions is not permitted. Unfavourable ambient conditions are:
- moisture or high humidity
- dust and combustible gases, vapours or solvents
- thunderstorms or similar conditions such as strong electrostatic fields etc.
Any use other than that described above damages the product. Moreover, this is linked to dangers such as short
circuits, fire, electric shock, etc. No part of the product may be modified or rebuilt!
Observe the safety instructions under all circumstances!
