LIST OF
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
PAGE WARNING/CAUTION
2-14 WARNING: This feature requires disassembly and modification of the unit and imple-
mentation is permitted only by authorized service personnel.
3-24 WARNING: For inductive loads, and especially superconducting magnet type loads,
the inherent offset of the BOP in the OFF state may generate significant
current in the circuit. Two properly rated external switches must be in-
stalled for safety: one in series between the power supply and the mag-
net, and the other in parallel with the magnet. Once the BOP front panel
display reads 0V, 0A, close the parallel switch, then open the series
switch before removing or installing connections between BOP and load.
To restore normal operation, first close the series switch, then open the
parallel switch.
3-24 WARNING: For both inductive loads and constant-current-type active electronic
loads when theBOP output is set to OFF, a pathis provided for absorbing
either the energy accumulated in the reactance of the load during the ON
state, or energy delivered by an electronic load. This prevents damage to
the load and power supply as well as providing safety for the user. How-
ever, In addition to the built-in safety features, constant-current-type ac-
tive electronic loads must be adjusted to zero and the BOP front panel
LCD must read 0V, minimum current, before handling the power supply-
to-load connections.
3-25 WARNING: Accessing the BOP after the output is disabled in BATTERY mode is haz-
ardous because (1) high current arcing is possible and (2) either the ex-
ternal battery voltage, or the voltage (±Voltage Protection max) on the
BOP output terminals may be dangerous. Therefore, for battery and con-
stant-voltage-type active electronic loads it is recommended that two
properly rated external switches be installed for safety: one in series with
the battery, and one across the BOP output. After the unit is set to OFF,
first open the switch in series with the battery, then close the switch
across the BOP output to ensure safety before handling BOP connec-
tions. When connecting the battery, the switch across the output should
be opened after the connections are complete and then the switch in se-
ries with the battery should be closed. If the constant-voltage-type active
electronic load is adjusted to zero before handling the power supply-to-
load connections, only the switch across the BOP output is required.
3-41 WARNING: Be sure that output power is OFF (Standby indicator lit) while connecting
monitoring device. Be sure that connections are secure and that termi-
nals are not inadvertently shorted.
3-45 WARNING: Dangerous voltages are present at the output terminals: Do not touch!
Disconnect load before running this test.
4-8 WARNING: The sense resistor will be dissipating full rated current of the BOP. If it is
hot to the touch, the sense resistorvalue, power rating and/or cooling are
incorrect; refer to PAR. 4.3 and Table 4-2.
4-13 WARNING: The sense resistor will be dissipating full rated current of the BOP. If it is
hot to the touch, the sense resistorvalue, power rating and/or cooling are
incorrect; refer to PAR. 4.4 and Table 4-2.

LIST OF
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
BOP 2KW OPR 4/22/21 E
PAGE WARNING/CAUTION
2-5 CAUTION: it is recommended that source power of external equipment connected to
the Analog Port be applied through an isolating transformer to avoid
ground loops or possible damage to the BOP due to incorrect equipment
a-c wiring (e.g., defeating of ground connection).
2-8 CAUTION: When working with active loads, the voltage or current of the active load
must not exceed the maximum voltage or current rating of the BOP. Oth-
erwise the overvoltage or overcurrent protection will shut down the pow-
er supply.
2-9 CAUTION: Never connect the both the load terminal tied to the BOP COM terminal
and the programming device common to earth-ground. This allows a
ground loop current to flow within the BOP which will compromise accu-
racy. Catastrophic damage to the BOP will result if the connection be-
tween BOP COM and the load terminal connected to earth-ground is lost.
2-10 CAUTION: Never connect the load to the sense terminals. Monitoring instruments
(e.g., DVM, etc.) are the only external equipment that may be safely con-
nected to the sense terminals.
2-10 CAUTION: Never connect the both the load terminal tied to the BOP COM terminal
and the programming device common to earth-ground. This allows a
ground loop current to flow within the BOP which will compromise accu-
racy. Catastrophic damage to the BOP will result if the connection be-
tween BOP COM and the load terminal connected to earth-ground is lost.
2-10 CAUTION: The safety features incorporated into the BOP to handle energy from Ac-
tive loads are unable to protect the power supply or the load if input pow-
er to the BOP is lost or if the BOP malfunctions. It is recommended that
the user monitor “Power OK” flag pins3 and 4 of the external Protect Port
(see Table 2-6) and implement a fast-acting means of disconnecting ca-
pacitive loads or crowbarring inductive loads to prevent damage to both
the BOP and the load in the event of input power loss.
2-15 CAUTION: To ensure correct operation, do not remove the GPIB cable from the BOP
after a Query is processed. Ensure that the last command is a non-query
such as *CLS before removing the GPIB cable. Otherwise, power to the
BOP and/or the host computer may need to be cycled OFF then ON to re-
store proper operation.
3-4 CAUTION: Pressing RESET will cause voltage transients to appear at the output
which may damage a connected load.
3-7 CAUTION: DO NOT repeatedly toggle the circuit breaker/switch as this may damage
the unit.
3-16 CAUTION: When the ADJUST control is rotated, the active parameter is immediately
effective if the output is enabled (on = STANDBY indicator not lit). The
voltage/current applied to the load changes as the ADJUST control is ro-
tated.
3-22 CAUTION: When working with active loads, always adjust the BOP protection limits
to be above the maximum values of voltage or current expected from the
load. For example, when the BOP is operating in voltage mode sinking
energy from a constant current type load, set the current protection limits
of the BOP above the maximum current expected from the load.

LIST OF
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
PAGE WARNING/CAUTION
3-25 CAUTION: When working with battery mode, if the output is set to ON by *RST (see
PAR. 3.5.3.3) and the battery is charged above 0.01V, the unit will sink
105% of IOmax.
3-33 CAUTION: Before Pressing @to enter the Saved Waveform Screen from the power-
up screen, perform the following steps to avoid unexpected voltages or
currents from previous settings being briefly applied to the load when the
waveform is first executed.
3-44 CAUTION: Pressing RESET will cause voltage transients to appear at the output
which may damage a connected load. Switch is recessed to prevent inad-
vertent activation.
3-56 CAUTION: The commands listed above with (**) will generate a “-440, Missing Que-
ry” error if a query does not precede the command in the same command
string or ;*OPC? does not follow the command. Although commands not
marked with (**) will not generate an error, all commands listed above re-
quire verification to insure absolute success. Failure to follow these
rules can result in the loss of all stored constants and render the unit in-
operative.
3-63 CAUTION: To ensure correct operation, do not remove the GPIB cable from the BOP
after a Query is processed. Ensure that the last command is a non-query
such as *CLS before removing the GPIB cable. Otherwise, power to the
BOP and/or the host computer may need to be cycled OFF then ON to re-
store proper operation.
3-67 CAUTION: When the serial port has received an XOFF, the error message “-400, Que-
ry Error” will be placed in the queue to indicate the loss of transmitted in-
formation due to a received XOFF character. When XON is received, the
unit will transmit all data in it's buffer followed by the exclamation char-
acter (!). This (!) character is not part of any message from the BOP and
indicates the transmission buffer has been cleared and the BOP is idle.
4-5 CAUTION: Sending commands other than SYST:ERR? during calibration will ad-
versely affect calibration of the unit.
4-11 CAUTION: If the CALIBRATE ZERO !function is available, perform this function
first, as it affects all other output calibrations.
