Safety Guidelines
General
Guideline
CAUTION
 Do not place any heavy object on the unit.
 Avoid severe impact or rough handling that
leads to damaging the unit.
 Do not discharge static electricity to the unit.
 Do not block the cooling fan opening.
 Do not perform measurements on circuits that
are directly connected to mains power.
 Do not disassemble the PPH unless you are
qualified.
(Measurement categories) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the
measurement categories and their requirements as follows. The
PPH-1503D/1506D /1510D falls under category I.
 Measurement category IV is for measurement performed at the
source of low-voltage installation.
 Measurement category III is for measurement performed in the
building installation.
 Measurement category II is for measurement performed on the
circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation.
 Measurement category I is for measurements performed on
circuits not directly connected to Mains.
Power Supply
WARNING
 AC Input voltage range: 90VAC~264VAC
 Frequency: 50Hz/60Hz
 To avoid electrical shock connect the protective
grounding conductor of the AC power cord to
an earth ground.

Fuse
WARNING
 Fuse type: T2.0A/250V（PPH-1503D）
T2.5A/250V PPH-1506D/1510D
 To prevent fire, replace the fuse only with the
specified type and rating.
 Disconnect the power cord before replacing the
fuse.
 Make sure the cause of fuse blowout is fixed
before replacing the fuse.
Cleaning the
power supply
 Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the
oscilloscope.
 Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild
detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid
into the oscilloscope.
 Do not use chemicals containing harsh products
such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.
Operation
Environment
 Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,
almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)
 Relative Humidity: < 80%
 Altitude: < 2000m
 Temperature: 0°C to 40°C
(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies pollution degrees and
their requirements as follows. The PPH-1503D/1506D/1510D falls
under degree 2.
Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or
gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric
strength or surface resistivity”.
 Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive
pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.
 Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution
occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected.
 Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-
conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to
condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment
is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight,
precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature
nor humidity is controlled.

Power cord for the United Kingdom
When using the power supply in the United Kingdom, make sure
the power cord meets the following safety instructions.
NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Green/ Yellow:
Earth
Blue:
Neutral
Brown:
Live (Phase)
As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the
coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth
terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol or coloured
Green/Green & Yellow.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.
If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or contact
the supplier.
This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and approved
HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the equipment and/or
user instructions for details. As a guide, a cable of 0.75mm2should be
protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors would normally require
13A types, depending on the connection method used.
Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is engaged in a
live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is deemed hazardous,
turn off the mains power and remove the cable, any fuses and fuse
assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be immediately destroyed and
replaced in accordance to the above standard.

OVERVIEW
This chapter contains a brief introduction to PPH-
1503D/1506D/1510D, the main features, as well
as an overview of the front and rear panel. Use the
Getting Started chapter on page 25 to start up
instructions and how to setup the appropriate
operation environment.
Introduction
Overview
The PPH-1503D/1506D /1510Dis a high-precision,
compact, dual output, multifunction,
programmable DC power supply with flexible
operating configurations. In addition to the basic
power supply functionality, it is also able to
measure pulse current, the average current over
long periods of time and other functions such as
battery simulation.
The PPH-1503D/1506D/1510D is designed for
testing the power consumption of battery powered
wireless communication devices (e.g. cell phones).
Such devices often have large load variations
within a short time span. The high precision
power supply has excellent voltage stability
during pulsed loads and is capable of
simultaneously measuring the pulse current, even
for very short pulses. In addition, the power
supply is able to sink current, allowing it to
simulate the characterics of a discharged
rechargeable battery for testing chargers and
charge control circuits.
