DESCRIPTIONS
1) OUTPUT
The SM15-200D, SM30-100D, SM45-70D,
SM70-45D, SM120-25D and SM300-10D
can either be used as a constant voltage
source with current limiting or as a constant
current source with voltage limiting.
The change of mode occurs sharply at the
crossing of the voltage and current settings
(fig. 3 - 1 shows the output ranges).
°DISPLAY CV/CC SETTING FUNCTION
The setting of the voltage and current con-
trol can be observed on the front panel me-
ters by pressing the Display CV/CC Setting
button. This allows the current limit to be
set when operating in the CV mode without
shorting the output terminals, and the volt-
age limit to be set when operating in the CC
mode without opening the load leads.
°OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The power supply is fully protected against
all overload conditions, including short cir-
cuit.
2) INPUT VOLTAGE
The power supplies have a wide input volt-
age range.
°The units need a 3 phase input voltage,
but no neutral connection is required.
°The units can also operate on one phase
but at 90% of the max. output voltage,
with a slight increase of the output ripple
voltage.
°The units can also be used as a DC/DC
converter.
°non-standard line input voltage
The units will still operate at a line input
voltage lower than standard, but with a
reduction in output power. Figure 3 - 3
shows the max. output current as a func-
tion of output voltage with AC or DC line
input voltage as a parameter.
Example: Say the required output volt-
age is 24 V at a line input voltage of 270 V
AC. Figure 3 - 2 shows the maximum
output current for the SM30-100D to be
59 A.
°Note: All AC input curves are measured
using 3 phase input.

Page 3 - 2 DESCRIPTIONS 1991, rev. May 2008
3) INPUT CURRENT
The input circuit has a large series choke to improve the waveform. The re-
sult is: a lower rms input current, less mains distortion and no large peak cur-
rents.
The units also have an inrush current limiter and a soft start circuit, for
smooth switch on.
°FUSES 16 A Slow blow.
4) STANDBY INPUT POWER
The unit consumes very little power when in standby. This makes it possible
to leave the input power on and use the Remote ShutDown input (pin 5 on
prog. connector rear panel) to disable the output.
5) EFFICIENCY
The efficiency is very high and constant over a wide output current range
(see fig. 3 - 4). High efficiency also means low power loss and low heat gen-
eration.
6) REGULATION
The load regulation should be measured directly on the output terminals.
A few cm of cable can have a voltage drop of several mV (at high current!).
7) RIPPLE & NOISE
The output ripple is very low with almost no spikes.
The ripple voltage has to be measured directly on the output terminals using
a probe with very short connections (to avoid pick up of magnetic fields) (see
fig. 3 - 5 and fig. 3 - 6).
At low temperatures like -20°C the ripple increases. By using high quality
electrolytic capacitors the increase is relatively low.
8) PROGRAMMING INPUTS
The output voltage and current can be programmed by an external analog
voltage. This programming is very accurate and linear, (non-linearity
<0.15%). The levels are all standardized on 5V. Always use a shielded ca-
ble for programming.
The inputs have a protection circuit formed by a series resistor and a parallel
zener (see fig. 3 - 7). The capacitor limits the speed to a safe value. Note that
the analog inputs (and outputs) are not floating, but the common is con-
nected to the negative output terminal. Wrong connection of Ø can cause
earth loops which can trip the fuse. After removing the fault, the fuse will re-
set (PTC-fuse). To prevent earth loops, use isolated programming with the
ISO AMP CARD internal interface option P145(δ-product).
The programming mode (program and manual) can be selected by means of
the prog. switches which are situated below the programming connector
(see fig. 3- 9).
9) IEEE488 / RS232 PROGRAMMING
For programming use the external interface PSC-488 module or internal in-
terface PSC-232 (both δ-products).
Voltage and current can easily be programmed and read back. Also the CC
and OVP status can be read by the computer. Always use a shielded cable
for programming.
10) MONITORING OUTPUTS
The monitor outputs give a voltage 0 - 5 V proportional to the output current
or voltage. The output current can easily be measured without an external
shunt using the I-monitor (see fig. 3 - 8). The monitor outputs are buffered by
op-amp’s and protected by series resistors and parallel zeners (see fig. 3 -
10). The table 3 - 1 shows the impedance levels of the monitoring outputs.
For using Imon on a pulsating load, see paragraph 17) of this chapter.

Outputs on programming connector
11) STATUS OUTPUTS
The status outputs have an open output voltage of 5 V and a short cir-
cuit current of 10 mA. This makes it possible to drive directly: an
opto-coupler, a TTL gate or a CMOS gate (put leakage resistor to Ø).
12) REMOTE SHUTDOWN
A voltage of +5V on the Remote ShutDown input on the programming
connector will switch off the power circuit of the unit. In standby mode
the power supply consumes very little power.
It is also possible to use a relay contact or a switch to shut down the
unit: connect a switch between Vref and Rem. ShutDown (pin 9 and 5).
Note: The Remote ShutDown will also cause the OVP-led to burn and
the OVP-status will be high.
13) PROGRAMMING SPEED
The response time is measured with a step waveform at the CV prog.
input. Programming from a low to a high output voltage is nearly load
independent, but programming down to a low voltage takes more time
on lighter loads. This is caused by the output capacitors, which can
only be discharged by the load because the power supply cannot sink
current.
When having a supply with a fast programming option, the response
is 5 to 25 times faster (see datasheet). When using fast programming it
is generally not recommended to use remote sensing or serial / parallel
operation. Consult factory for advice. Also the output ripple is higher.

14) PROGRAMMING BANDWIDTH
For small signals the bandwidth is 50 Hz, but for large signals
there is a limitation in the maximum amplitude of the output wave-
form. The output capacitors limit the max. slew rate. Figure 3 - 13
shows the maximum peak to peak output voltage swing as a
function of frequency, with the load as a parameter. The higher
the load resistance the lower the max. amplitude. The measure-
ments were carried out using a sine wave. The DC level of the
output is 50 % of the max. output voltage.
15) RECOVERY TIME
Figure 3 - 14 shows the recovery time for the SM30-100D at
25 °C, set at 30 V output voltage, with a 50 – 100% load step.
16) NOISE SUPPRESSION (input / output)
The input / output noise suppression is measured with a pulse
generator (a) in series with the line input or (b) between input and
case (earth). The generator should produce a high energy pulse
of about 300 V. If there is an electrical connection between the
output and the input through the oscilloscope, you will get a false
reading. The suppression for the SM120-25D is lower, but the
relative disturbance on the output is comparable to the
SM30-100D.
17) PULSATING LOAD
To avoid overheating the output capacitors, the AC component
of the load current should be limited (see fig. 3 - 15).
One method of decreasing the AC current through the output ca-
pacitor is by using a large external electrolytic capacitor in paral-
lel with the load. Care must be taken so that the capacitor in
combination with the lead inductance will not form a series reso-
nant circuit!
When using remote sensing on a pulsating load (for instance a
DC-motor), use a capacitor in series with a resistor over the load
(see fig. 3 - 16). Like this the AC-component caused by the pul-
sating of the load is filtered.
With pulsating loads the I-monitor output should not be used.

1991, rev. May 2008 DESCRIPTIONS Page 3 - 5
18) INSULATION
For safety the insulation of the separating components (trans-
formers) between input and output is tested at 3750 Vrms during
1 minute. This is tested before assembling.
Warning! The 3750 Vrms cannot be tested afterwards on the
assembled unit because the insulation between the compo-
nents on the input side to the case (like the bridge rectifier) is
specified at 2500 Vrms. Since the insulation output - case is low
(only 600 V DC) the insulation of the primary components to
case will break down when 3750 Vrms is applied between input
and output (2500 Vrms + 600 V DC < 3750 Vrms) (see also fig. 3
- 17).
Note: when testing the insulation, take care to charge and dis-
charge the capacitors between input - case and output - case
slowly (e.g. in one second). This to prevent high peak currents,
which could destroy the power supply. Make sure to have dis-
charged the capacitors completely before using it again.
19) RFI SUPPRESSION
Both the input and output have RFI filters, resulting in very low
conducted RFI to the line and load. Due to the output filter the
output voltage is very clean, having almost no spikes.
20) OPERATING TEMP
At full power the operating temperature range is –20 to +50 °C.
From 50 to 60 °C the output current has to be derated linearly to
75 % at 60 °C (see fig. 3 - 18). These temperatures hold for nor-
mal use, i.e. the ventilation openings on the left and right side
must be free.
21) THERMAL PROTECTION
A thermal switch shuts down the output in case of insufficient
cooling. After cooling down the unit will start working again.
The thermal protection circuit protects 2 parts separately in the
unit: the switching transistors on the primary side and the output
circuit.
A tripped thermal protection can have the following effects:
1) When the protection on the switching transistors has tripped,
no led indicator or digital meter will burn on the front panel.
2) When the protection on the output circuit has tripped, the
OVP led on the front panel will burn, and the OVP status output
will be high.
22) HOLD - UP TIME
The hold - up time depends on the load, output voltage and line
input voltage. A lighter load, a lower output voltage or a higher
line input voltage all result in a longer hold - up time (see fig.
3 - 19).
23) TURN ON DELAY
The output voltage is available 0.5 sec after mains switch on.
24) INRUSH CURRENT
The inrush current is limited by a 90 Ohm resistor, resulting in a
very low current during switch on. The input current during
switch on will be lower than during operation at full load.
25) PHASE LOSS
Phase loss means that there is only one phase available instead
of three.
The unit will continue to operate on one phase but at 90% of the
max. output voltage. Ex.: a SM30-100D on one phase 380 V can
deliver 90% x 30 = 27 V @ 100 A. So if the output voltage is not
set higher than 27 V no drop in the output voltage will be noted
during phase loss. However the output ripple voltage will be
slightly higher when the input is on one phase.

Page 3 - 6 DESCRIPTIONS 1991, rev. May 2008
26) SERIES OPERATION
Series operation is allowed up to 600 V total voltage. The power supplies
can be connected in series without special precautions.
For easier control, Master / Slave operation is recommended (see fig. 3 -
20). By using the Master / Slave Series feature a dual tracking power sup-
ply can be made with one unit as master and one as slave.
For series operation in combination with Power Sink option, all units must
have a Power Sink built inside otherwise no power can be absorbed.
27) PARALLEL OPERATION
Paralleling of the units has no limitations. The power supplies can be con-
nected in parallel without special precautions. For easier control, Master /
Slave operation is recommended (see fig. 3 - 20 and fig. 3 - 21).
Normal parallel operation of Fast Programming units can give problems,
each combination has to be tested first, in combination with the load !
For parallel operation in combination with Power Sink option, only one unit
can have a Power Sink. Refer to Power Sink manual for details and restric-
tions.
28) MASTER / SLAVE OPERATION
The Master / Slave feature makes it possible to use the power supplies as
building blocks to form one large unit (see fig. 3 - 21).
The resulting combination of units behaves like one power supply and can
be programmed on the master. Figure 3 - 23 shows a computer controlled
M/S parallel combination.
Mixed parallel - series operation is also possible (see fig. 3 - 22), to a maxi-
mum of 600 V. Here the MASTER / SLAVE SERIES ADAPTER(δ-product)
must be used. For parallel operation connections can easily be made on
the analog programming connector.
In series mode the master controls one slave, which in turn controls the
second slave and so on. In parallel mode the master controls all the slaves.
The result is true current or voltage sharing in the parallel or series mode
respectively.
Note: Master / Slave parallel operation is not recommended for more
than 3 units or in combination with Fast Programming option.
Consult factory for a solution.
29) REMOTE SENSING
The voltage at the load can be kept constant by remote sensing. This fea-
ture is not recommended for normal use but only when the load voltage is
not allowed to vary a few millivolts. Always use a shielded cable for sens-
ing.
In order to compensate for the voltage drop across the load leads, the unit
will have to supply a higher voltage: Uout = (voltage drop across each lead)
+ (voltage across the load) (see fig. 3 - 24). The OVP reads the voltage di-
rectly at the output and the setting must be increased by the total voltage
drop across the load leads.
The voltmeter is connected to the sense leads and therefore reads the volt-
age across the load and not the voltage on the output terminals.
The sense leads are protected for accidental interruption, in which case
the output voltage will go to a max. of 115% of the set value.
Warning: Do not interrupt the minus lead while the S– lead is still con-
nected to the load, during operation.
For sensing on a pulsating load, see previous paragraph 17).
30) OVP
The Over Voltage Protector will protect your circuit from unwanted high
voltages.
A high output voltage could be caused by accidental interruption of leads,
accidentally turning up the voltage potmeter or a defect in the power sup-
ply. The OVP circuit uses a separate voltage divider connected directly to
the output terminals.
The OVP limits the output voltage to a value which can be set by the OVP
potmeter on the front panel. While doing this, press the DISPLAY OVP
SETTING button to read the limit value in the left display. The led on the
front panel will indicate whether the OVP has reached the limit. The OVP
status output will give a logic 1 (+5 V).
Note: The Thermal ShutDown and Remote ShutDown will also cause the
OVP-led to burn and the OVP-status will be high.

When the OVP status output is used as an indication for accidental inter-
ruption of leads, a defect in the power supply etc., it is recommended to set
the limit well above the working output voltage to avoid accidental limiting.
The recommended OVP set voltages can be read from the following table:

set Vout + 2 V Vout + 3 V Vout + 5 V Vout + 5 V Vout + 10 V Vout + 25 V
Example: For a SM30-100D set at 24 V output voltage it is recommended to
set the OVP on 24 + 3 = 27 V.
31) POTENTIOMETERS
°Standard: -CV and CC potentiometers with knobs at front panel,
OVP potentiometer with screwdriver adjustment at
the front panel.
°Option P001: -Screwdriver adjustment for CV, CC and OVP at the
front panel (see fig. 3 - 25).
°Option P002: -Screwdriver adjustment for CV, CC and OVP at the
rear panel (no potentiometers at front panel),
(see fig. 3 - 26).
32) COOLING
A low noise blower cools the unit. The speed of the fan depends on the tem-
perature of the internal heatsink. At room temperature and full load the fan
will run at a very low speed. The fan does not operate on no load. Normally
at 50 °C ambient and full load the fan will not work at full speed. Since the
fan is over-rated it will still have enough capacity to cool the unit when dust
partially obstructs the fins of the heatsinks.
A special feature is that the fan blows through a tunnel where the heatsinks
are situated, the delicate control circuitry is separated and will not be in the
airflow path (see fig. 3 - 27).
Because the air enters at the left and exits at the right side it is possible to
stack the power supplies, no distance between the units is required. Only
the ventilation openings at the left and right side should be free.
For long life the temperature of the air entering on the left side, should be
below 35 °C under normal conditions. Under extreme conditions it should
be below 50 °C.
Note: The control circuit makes the fan start in a pulsating mode, during
which period it normally produces a high pitched sound. This is normal.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The 380 V AC line voltage is rectified by a bridge
rectifier and smoothed by a large electrolytic capaci-
tor. The 50 Hz choke in the input circuit improves the
waveform of the input, so that no low frequency dis-
tortion is produced on the line voltage.
Carefully designed RFI filters protect the line and
the load from the high frequency interference pro-
duced inside the power supply.
When the unit is switched on, the electrolytic ca-
pacitor is charged via the resistor of the INRUSH
CURRENT LIMITER circuit, so no large inrush cur-
rent will flow. As soon as the voltage is sufficiently
high the power supply starts working and the series
resistor is bypassed by a relay contact.
The operating switching frequency of 200 kHz
has many advantages like small size, reduced
weight, low ripple and fast regulation.
The rectified 380 V (500 V DC) is chopped by the
transistors and transformed to a lower voltage. This
200 kHz power converter is of the feed forward type.
The regulation is achieved by pulse width modula-
tion.
Careful design, over-rating of vital components,
several built-in protections and cool operation (be-
cause of the very high efficiency) make the SM-se-
ries very reliable power supplies which can be used
continuously at maximum rating.

OPERATING MANUAL
1) OPERATING THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME
•Check that there is no condensation on the unit. If there is, allow
some time to dry.
•Set the program switches on the rear panel on MANUAL.
•Check that there is a link between + and S+ and between – and
S– on the SENSE BLOCK (on rear panel)
•Set OVP potentiometer (on front panel) to maximum (fully clock-
wise), Use a screwdriver to set the OVP voltage.
•With high output current make sure to use low resistive con-
nections between the power supply and the load:
- Mount the cable lugs directly on the tinned output strips
followed by a washer and a nut (see fig. 4 - 1). Always in
this order!
- Never place extra washers between the lugs and the strips!
- Only use nuts and washers supplied with the unit.
•Switch on unit.
•Turn both the CV and CC potentiometer a few turns clock wise. A
voltage should now be present on the output.
•By pressing the DISPLAY CV/CC SETTING button the meters
will show the setting of the CV and CC potentiometer.
•By pressing the DISPLAY OVP SETTING button the volt meter
will show the setting of the OVP potentiometer.
•When the power supply is used on a fixed output voltage it is
highly recommended to set the Over Voltage Protector. As set
out in the following table:
SM15-200D SM30-100D SM45-70D SM70-45D SM120-25D SM300-10D
Vout + 2 V Vout + 3 V Vout + 5 V Vout + 5 V Vout + 10 V Vout + 25 V
Example: For a SM30-100D set at 24 V output voltage it is recom-
mended to set the OVP on 24 + 3 = 27 V.
•Check that the cooling of the unit is not obstructed.
2) ANALOG PROGRAMMING
•Put the appropriate switch(es) in the position PROGRAM.
•Connect the programming voltage source(s) (0 - 5 V) to the ANA-
LOG PROG. CONNECTOR on the rear panel (see fig. 4 - 2 and
fig. 4 - 3). Always use a shielded cable for programming.
•If only the voltage is programmed, the maximum current can still
be set with the CC potentiometer and vice versa. If this is not de-
sirable the CC or CV can be set with an external potentiometer, in
order to have a fixed setting.
•CAUTION: The analog inputs are not isolated from the output.
The Ø of the prog. input (pin 1) is internally connected to the S–,
the S– is connected to the negative output. To protect the internal
wiring a 650 mA self-resetting fuse is connected in series (F600
on P432) (see fig. 3 - 10).
•For isolated analog programming the ISO AMP CARD (δ-prod-
uct) is recommended to avoid earth loops.
•To avoid hum or noise, the programming cable may have to be
twisted in some cases.
•To program the unit by current instead of voltage, simply use a
parallel resistor as a current to voltage converter.
3) IEEE488 / RS232 PROGRAMMING
•Set both prog. switches to the position program.
•Both CV and CC can be programmed and read back. The CC and
OVP status can also be read by the computer.
4) MONITORING OUTPUTS
•The 5 V level is compatible with most interfaces.
•The monitoring outputs can drive a meter directly (see fig. 4 - 4).

5) STATUS OUTPUTS
•The status outputs have a separate Ø connection (pin 8) to
avoid unwanted offsets in the programming. This pin is pro-
tected with a 650 mA fuse (F601 on P432).
6) REMOTE SENSING
•Remove the links on the SENSE BLOCK (on rear panel) and
connect sense leads (thin shielded measuring wires) to S+
and S– (see fig 4 - 5 and fig. 4 - 6).
•With remote sensing the voltage on the load can be kept con-
stant. The voltage drop in the load leads will be compensated.
This feature is not recommended for normal use, because it
can easily give problems.
•Max. 2 V per load lead can be compensated. Note that the
voltage drop in the leads decreases the max. output voltage
rating. In fig. 4 - 7 can be seen that on a 15 V power supply
only 11 V will be available on the load when 2x 2 V compensa-
tion is used.
•In order to prevent interference it is advisable to twist the
sense leads. To minimize the inductance in the load leads
keep the leads close to each other. The inductance of the
loads leads could give a problem with pulsating loads. In this
case a large electrolytic capacitor (Cd) in series with a damp-
ing resistor (Rd) both in parallel with the load will help (see fig.
4 - 6). Check that the capacitor Cd in combination with the load
leads and resistor Rd forms a well damped circuit.
•Since the voltmeter is internally connected to the sensing ter-
minals, it will automatically indicate the voltage on the load.
Note that the voltage measured on the load will be lower than
on the output terminals.
•The Over Voltage Protector measures the voltage on the out-
put terminals, so the OVP setting should be increased by the
total voltage drop in the load leads.
7) BATTERY CHARGER
•The CV / CC regulated power supplies are ideal battery charg-
ers. Once the output is set at the correct voltage the battery
will charge constantly without overcharging. This can be use-
ful for emergency power systems.
•Protective measures
Use a CIRCUIT BREAKER in series in order to protect the
power supply from accidental reverse connection (see
fig. 4 - 8). The circuit breaker should have a DC voltage rating
2x the battery voltage. Use the very fast type (Z), a type meant
for protecting semiconductors.
The unit has a reverse diode in parallel with the output, this di-
ode and the wiring cannot withstand the thousands of am-
peres supplied by a wrongly connected battery.

•Remote sensing cannot be recommended, because it easily
causes defects inside the power supply in case of wrong con-
nection.
If you really need remote sensing, please use the circuit (see
fig. 4 - 9). The internal circuit can be protected by relatively
small anti-parallel diodes. To protect the anti-parallel diodes,
please connect the fuses in series as indicated in fig. 3 - 9 . A
practical choice for the fuses is 250 mA, the diodes can be any
normal 3 or 5 A type.

•Note: The SM300-10D needs an extra parallel diode on the
output, without this diode the internal diode will still blow. For
this diode 2 paralleled BYT261-PIV-400 from ST can be used.
The SM300-10D with option P023 has an extra diode built-in.
8) REMOTE SHUTDOWN / OVER CURRENT TRIP
•The Remote ShutDown can be operated with +5 V or a relay
contact (see fig. 4 - 10).
•Using the Remote ShutDown input, an Over Current Trip
could be made (see fig. 4 - 10).
9) MASTER / SLAVE SERIES OPERATION
•For series operation the MASTER / SLAVE SERIES ADAP-
TER (δ-product) must be used (see fig. 4 - 11).
•First, connect output terminals and test system in normal se-
ries operation. Ensure that all (output) power connections are
reliable. An interruption of one of the power leads can cause a
fuse to blow in the unit, see ''trouble shooting''.
•The voltage drop in the connecting leads between the units
should be kept < 10 mV.
•Second, switch off all units. Connect units as shown in fig. 4 -
12. Use standard 15 pole (1:1) shielded cables.
•The max. number of slaves is only limited by the max. total volt-
age of 600 V.
10) MASTER / SLAVE PARALLEL OPERATION
•Note: Master / Slave parallel is not recommended for more
than 4 units, consult factory for using more than 4 power
supplies in parallel.
•First connect output terminals and test system in normal paral-
lel operation. Ensure that all power connections are reliable. An
interruption of one of the (output) power leads can cause a fuse
to blow in the unit, see “trouble shooting”.
•Second, switch off all units. Plug in prog. connectors with the
connections according to fig. 4 - 13 (buss bar topology). Always
use a shielded cable. The shielding must be connected to the
case of the supply.
Disconnect the links between the S– and – of the slaves only.
If not removed the current sharing will not be proportional.
Both prog. switches of the slaves should be in the position PRO-
GRAM.
•The purpose of the link between pin 9 and 11 is to set the volt-
age limit of the slaves at maximum.
•Keep the load close to the master. Keep wiring between master
and slaves short. The voltage drop between a unit and the buss
bar should be kept < 10 mV.
•Accidental interruption of a negative load lead of a unit during
operation will cause fuse F600 to blow, see section ‘trouble
shooting’.
•The S−and S+ could be connected to the load if desired, but this
is not recommended because of the complexity.

11) PARALLEL OPERATION OF FAST PRO-
GRAMMING VERSIONS:
•Master / Slave operation is not recommended.
•Normal parallel operation can give problems, each combina-
tion has to be tested first in combination with the load.
12) MASTER / SLAVE MIXED SERIES / PARALLEL
OPERATION
•For complex combinations as mixed series - parallel always
use the MASTER / SLAVE SERIES ADAPTER (δ-product).
•See fig. 4 - 14 for an example of how to connect 2 units in se-
ries in parallel with 2 units in series, controlled by 1 master.
•On the parallel slave1, fully open the CV-potmeter.
•Note: A Master / Slave combination can always be pro-
grammed, also with the IEEE488 / RS232 controller
(PSC-488 module / PSC-232 (both δ-products)).

OPERATING AND STORAGE CONDITIONS
1) TEMPERATURE
•The operating temperature range at full load is –20 to +50 °C.
But this temperature range only holds when the AIR-INTAKE and
AIR-OUTLET are unobstructed and the temperature of the
AIR-INTAKE is not higher than +50 °C.
•Please note: a lower temperature extends the life of the
power supply.
•When the power supply is mounted in a cabinet please note that
the temperature of the AIR-INTAKE should be kept low and avoid
a short circuit in the airflow i.e. the hot air leaving the AIR-OUTLET
entering the AIR-INTAKE again.
•The storage temperature range is –40 to +85 °C.
2) HUMIDITY
•During normal operation humidity will not harm the power supply,
provided the air is not aggressive. The heat normally produced in
the power supply will keep it dry.
•Condensation.
Avoid condensation inside the power supply, break-down could
be the result.
Condensation can occur during a period the power supply is
switched off (or operating at no load) and the ambient temperature
is increasing .
Always allow the power supply to dry before switching it on again.
3) GALVANIC INDUSTRY
•For using the power supplies in the galvanic industry it is strongly
recommended to take precautions against an aggressive environ-
ment.
•An aggressive environment with acid, salt, etc. can harm the elec-
tronic components. Sometimes even the copper traces of the
pc-boards dissolve.
•To avoid problems the power supplies should be mounted in a rel-
ative clean room, or mounted in a cabinet receiving clean air with
over pressure. Or a cabinet with a heat exchanger.
MAINTENANCE
1) GENERAL
•The SM-series power supplies normally need no maintenance or
calibration. Only care must be taken that the cooling of the unit is
not obstructed.
2) COOLING FAN
•The built up of dust on the impeller of the fan and the heat sink fins
depends on the environment. Since the fan has over-capacity
dust will not present a problem very quickly.
•The internal construction of the power supply is such that no dust
will reach the sensitive control circuitry, only the heat sinks in a
tunnel will be cooled by forced air (see fig. 4 - 15).
•The thermal protection will shut down the output in case of over-
heating, so no damage will be done to the power supply.
•It is advisable to inspect the fan and the heat sinks regularly.
fig. 4 - 15
The fan blows through an internal tunnel,

TROUBLE SHOOTING
1) GENERAL
•In case you need assistance for repairing a unit, please contact
our engineers using the address "[e-mail]".
•In case you want us to repair the unit, please first fill out the
RMA-form before sending the unit to us. Adding a detailed fault
description will help us to repair the unit as soon as possible.
On our website www.DeltaPowerSupplies.com the RMA-form
can be found under 'Support'.
2) NO OUTPUT (normal operation)
•Check input fuses.
•Check position of prog. switches at the rear panel, they should be
on MANUAL.
•Check the connections on the SENSE BLOCK (at rear panel),
there should be a link between + and S+ and between – and S–.
•Set OVP potentiometer (at front panel) at maximum (fully clock
wise).
•Switch on unit.
•Turn both the CV and CC potentiometer a few turns clock-wise. A
voltage should be present on the output.
3) PROGRAMMING DOES NOT WORK OK
•Check position of prog. switches at rear panel.
•The unit works OK in manual control, but in programming
mode the output voltage / current has a large error.
Probably the fuse in series with Ø (pin 1) of prog. connector trip-
ped, the fuse (F600 = 650 mA) is a self-resetting type (see
fig. 4 - 16).
•To check the fuse (F600) measure the voltage between Ø and the
minus output, during the fault condition. The voltage should only
be a few mV, a high voltage means that an unwanted current is
flowing through pin 1 of the prog. connector.
Please check why current is flowing through pin 1 (see also next
paragraph 4) and fig. 4 - 17).
4) PROGRAMMING OFFSETS
•Unwanted offsets in the programming can be caused by
earth loops.
Figure 4 - 17 shows a typical earthing problem. In case the load
has a connection to earth and the programming source as well,
problems could occur. Improper choice of the earthing point of the
load can give a voltage drop of ΔV1. Connecting the minus or zero
to a separate earth connection can give a voltage drop of ΔV2. Be-
cause the internal wires of the programming input are thin, the
voltage drops ΔV1 and ΔV2 will be across the internal wiring as
well. Resulting in a error voltage in series with the programming
voltage.
•The best solution for this is using a floating programming source
with the help of the ISO AMP CARD(δ-product) or a floating load.
5) STATUS OUTPUTS FAIL
•Check fuse F601 in series with Ø (pin 8) (see fig. 4 - 16). To check
the fuse (F601) measure the resistance between Ø and the minus
output, an open circuit means a blown fuse. F601 = 650 mA.
6) MASTER / SLAVE PARALLEL PROBLEMS
•Accidental interruption of a minus lead of a unit during operation
will cause fuse F600 to blow (see fig. 4 - 16). To check the fuse
(F600) measure the resistance between Ø (pin 1 of prog. conn.)
and the minus output, the fuse is a self resetting type.
F600 = 650 mA
•Check link between pin 9 and 11 on the prog. connector of the
slaves
•Current sharing is not ok. Probably the links between S– and – of
the slaves are not removed.

1991, rev. May 2008 OPERATING MAINTENANCE TROUBLE SHOOTING CALIBRATING Page 4 - 7
7) OUTPUT VOLTAGE IS HIGHER THAN SET VALUE
•Check connections on SENSE BLOCK (on rear panel), For nor-
mal operation there should be a link between + and S+ and be-
tween – and S– (see also fig. 4 - 18). When remote sensing is
used, check the wires of the sensing.
8) OVP LED on.
•Check OVP setting.
•Overheating also causes the OVP led to be on, cooling down will
reset the thermal protection.
•You are using Remote Sensing.
Even a short voltage pulse >3V between – and S – causes the
OVP circuit to limit the output voltage.
•Remote ShutDown voltage is applied to the prog. connector.
9) NO LEDS on.
•Overheating can be the cause, cooling down will reset the thermal
protection.
•Check input power and input fuses (on rear panel)
•Check fuses F400 and F401 on P430, a blown fuse can be
caused by a defective rectifier bridge D400 or D401. Note: The
fuses are of a special 500 V type.
•The auxiliary power supply (board P430) is defect. Do not try to re-
pair P430 (except for D400, D401, F400 and F401), but send
P430 for repair or ask for replacement.
10) CHECK POINTS IN CASE OF A SERIOUS FAILURE
•Check output diodes.
Defective diodes give a short.
SM 15-200 D Check diodes D300 - D315
SM 30-100 D Check diodes D300 - D309
SM 70-45 D Check diodes D300 - D303 on P457
SM 120-25 D Check diodes D300 - D303 on P458
Replace defective parts.
•Fuse F200 and / or F201 on P428 are blown.
Probably there is a defect on one of the two boards P433.
First check output diodes, see above.
WARNING: Do not replace F200 or F201until the unit is repaired.
Replacing fuse F200 and F201 while P433 is still defect will cause
R104 till R109 to blow, this will damage the board P428.
Note: Do not try to repair P433, but send the subunit with 2x P433
for repair or ask for replacement.
Preferably consult factory when you discover a defect in P433.

CALIBRATION
1) GENERAL
•The power supplies are factory cali-
brated and normally need no further
calibration.
2) METER CALIBRATION
•DIGITAL METERS
The zero indication can be calibrated
with R712 and R716, the full scale indi-
cation can be calibrated with R706 and
R708 on P388 (see fig. 4 - 19).
3) SPECIAL CALIBRATIONS
•The following calibrations must be
done by qualified personnel only.
Wrong calibration causes malfunction.
These calibrations are only needed af-
ter special repairs. Warning ! Damage
caused by wrong calibration is not war-
ranted.
•CALIBRATING MAX. CURRENT
RANGE or CALIBRATING CC MONI-
TOR FULL SCALE.
The max. output current can be cali-
brated with R686. R686 is located on
P432 (see fig. 4 - 20).
Program CC input with exactly 5.00 V.
Set output voltage to a low value, en-
suring the power supply is in CC mode.
Measure the output current with an ac-
curate shunt. Calibrate the current with
R686 exactly on the rated max. current.
Warning! Wrong calibration can dam-
age the unit.
•CALIBRATING THE CC MONITOR
OFFSET.
With R652 on P384 the offset of the CC
monitor voltage can be calibrated (see
fig. 4 - 21). The unit has to be unloaded,
the output voltage set on a low value.
Measure the offset voltage of the CC
monitor on the prog. connector. Cali-
brate the offset on a negative value be-
tween –10 mV and zero mV.
Warning! wrong calibration can
damage the unit.
