FOR UNITED KINGDOM ONLY
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
colours 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 the letter E or by the earth symbol
or coloured Green or 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.

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, 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 moulded mains connector that requires removal /replacement
must be destroyed by removal of any fuse & fuse carrier and disposed
of immediately, as a plug with bared wires is hazardous if a engaged
in live socket. Any re-wiring must be carried out in accordance with
the information detailed on this label.

1. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
1-1.Description
PSS-series Programmable Power Supply is controlled by Micro
Processor Unit (MPU) that can easily connect communication interface
RS-232 or GPIB to computer in order to satisfy users’ demand for
auto-testing and auto-control.
The voltage and current are completely controlled by a 12 bits D/A
Converter with higher resolution and accuracy. Also, the digitalization of
system makes a speedy, precise and convenient input of information
controlled by keyboard and wheel knob.
The adjustment of voltage/current is made by software calibration
without man-made error that will increase the preciseness of the
instrument.
The function of Over Voltage Protection (OVP) and Over Current
Protection (OCP) is set with software and detected with hardware to
achieve protected function precisely and speedily in order to secure users
from danger by using the instrument.
1-2. Feature

3.PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATION
3-1.Unpacking the Instrument
The product has been fully inspected and tested before shipping from the
factory. Upon receiving the instrument, please unpack and inspect it to
check if there is any damage caused during transportation. If any sign of
damage is found, notify the bearer and/or the dealer immediately.
3-2.Checking the Line Voltage
The product can be applied by any kind of line voltages shown in the table
below. Before connecting the power plug to an AC line outlet, make sure
the voltage selector of the rear panel is set to the correct position
corresponding to the line voltage. It might be damaged the instrument by
connecting to the wrong AC line voltage.
WARNING. To avoid electrical shock the power cord
protective grounding conductor must be connected to
ground.
AVERISS: Pour éviter les chocs électriques, le fil de terre
du cordon secteur doit impérativement être relié à la
terre.
When line voltages are changed, replace the required fuses shown as below:

6. MAINTENANCE
The following instructions are executed by qualified personnel only.
To avoid electrical shock, do no perform any servicing other than the
operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
6-1.Fuse Replacement
If the fuse blows, the display will not light and the power supply will
not operate. The fuse should not normally open unless a problem has
developed in the unit. Try to determine and correct the cause of the
blown fuse, then replace only with a fuse of the correct rating and
type (refer to 3-2 of page 5). The fuse is located on the rear panel
(see Fig.4-2).
WARNING. For continued fire protection. Replace fuse
only with 250V fuse of the specific type and rating, and
disconnect power cord before replacing fuse.
6-2. Line Voltage Conversion
The primary winding of the power transformer is tapped to permit
operation from 100, 120, 220, or 230VAC, 50/60 Hz line voltage.
Conversion from one line voltage to another is done by change
AC selects switch.
The rear panel identifies the line voltage to which the unit was
factory set. To convert to a different line voltage, perform the
following procedure:
WARNING
PSS-3203/2005 PROGRAMMABLE POWER SUPPLY
USER MANUAL
⎯15 ⎯
(1) Make sure the power cord is unplugged.
(2) Change the AC selects switch to the desired line voltage
position.
(3) A change in line voltage may also require a corresponding
change of fuse value. Install the correct fuse value as listed on
rear panel.
6-3. ADJUSTMENT AND CALIBRATION
--Preparation
(1) 30 minutes warm up before calibration.
(2) Ambient temperature:23±5°C, Humidity: Under PH80%.
--Output Calibration Steps:
[Step 1]
Press [LOCAL] for 4 to 5 seconds interruptedly to appear Password
input window (vary with different models: PSS-3203: 3203, PSS-
2005: 2005), input the password number with the wheel knob, and
use the F/C button to shift the input position at the same time, then
press [ENTER]. When the password number has been input by
mistake, the system will jump out of the present mode.
[Step 2] Voltage Calibration Step
After getting into Calibration selection window, select Voltage
calibration with the knob and press [ENTER].
