RC04-PCR-LA General 1-1
Chapter 1 General
Outlines and describes the features of the RC04-PCR-LA Remote
Controller.
1.1 Outline
This device (RC04-PCR-LA) is a remote controller for the PCR-LA
Series AC power supplies.
Use of the RC04-PCR-LA with a PCR-LA AC power supply signifi-
cantly extends the power supply functions.
1.2 Features
Use of the Remote Controller allows the PCR-LA AC power supplies
to utilize the following enhanced functions in addition to the power
supplies’ standard functions.
Power line abnormality simulation
This function enables simulation of interruption, fast voltage dip (dip)
or fast voltage swell (pop).
The function is used to test switching power supplies or electronics
devices.
Sequence operation
Sequence operation permits automatic operation by combining output
voltage and frequency or other parameters with duration time. This
function allows the settings of combinations of output voltage, fre-
quency, time, and other factors that have been stored in advance to be
retrieved and output in sequence. This action (sequence operation)
enables automatic operations.
This function can be used to test the power supply environment of a
variety of devices and equipment.
Harmonic current analysis function
This function allows analysis of the harmonic components of an out-
put current. (Because a simplified measurement method is employed,
it does not conform to IEC or other standards.)

1-2 General RC04-PCR-LA
Special waveform output
This function allows the “peak-clipped waveform,” in which the peak
of a sine wave is suppressed, to be output as standard. This function
can be used not only for a variety of electronics devices but also for
chemical experiments and production equipment.
Output impedance setting
The PCR-LA AC power supplies have almost 0 ohm output imped-
ance (output resistance); an actual commercial power line has several
milliohm to several ohm impedance (resistance). When the Remote
Controller is connected to a PCR-LA AC power supply, the PCR-LA
power supply can vary the output impedance. This allows simulation
of an environment similar to that of an actual commercial power line.
Measurements of power factor, VA, and peak holding current
The PCR-LA AC power supplies have a variety of measurement func-
tions. Connecting the Remote Controller to a PCR-LA power supply
allows additional measurements of the power factor, VA, and peak
holding current to be performed.
The peak holding current measurement function is useful for measur-
ing an inrush current.
Output ON/OFF phase setting
This function allows output ON/OFF phase setting to be performed
separately.
It can be used if it is necessary to set an output ON/OFF phase during
simulation of an inrush current.
AC + DC mode
This function allows the PCR-LA AC power supply to output voltage
waveforms in which AC voltage is superimposed on DC voltage.
The function can be used in chemical experiments and for production
equipment.
Expansion of the Memory Function
The PCR-LA AC power supplies have a function for storing nine sets
of voltage and frequency settings in the memory (memory addresses
1 to 9), and reading the data for output as necessary.
Connecting the device to the PCR-LA power supply allows a maxi-
mum of 99 sets of voltage and frequency to be stored in the memory.

RC04-PCR-LA General 1-3
Regulation adjustment
With regulation adjustment, the output voltage is adjusted automati-
cally to compensate for a voltage drop caused by the output current.
This function is used for the same purpose as the sensing function.
The sensing function measures the sensing-point voltage in order to
maintain a constant sensing-point voltage; with regulation adjust-
ment, the voltage drop caused by the output current is calculated, and
the output voltage is raised by an amount equivalent to the drop.
The function ensures stabilized voltage at the load end without using
sensing cables even if there is a substantial distance between the load
and the PCR-LA AC power supply.
•When regulation adjustment is performed, the PCR-LA AC
power supply’s voltage stability accuracy, distortion factor,
and response speed decrease below the normal capability.
Therefore, this function may not be suitable for some applica-
tions. Check the load conditions and other factors before use.
1.3 Applicable Product Version
This Remote Controller requires the PCR-LA Series AC power sup-
plies equipped with ROM of version 3.08 or later.
This Operation Manual applies to the RC04-PCR-LA Remote Con-
trollers equipped with ROM of version 1.0X.
When making an inquiry about the product, please provide us with
the following information:
- Model name
- ROM version
- Serial number
For the procedure for checking the ROM version of the Remote Con-
troller, see “3.2 Operation Check”. For the procedure for checking the
ROM version of the PCR-LA Series AC power supply, see the PCR-
LA Series AC Power Supply Operation Manual.
