accompanying User Manual CD or on the instrument. For detailed safety
instructions and precautions, please see the Safety Instructions chapter in
the user manual CD.
Safety Symbols
These safety symbols may appear in the user manual or on the instrument.
Warning
Warning: Identifies conditions or practices that could result
in injury or loss of life.
Caution
Caution: Identifies conditions or practices that could result
in damage to the instrument or to other properties.
DANGER High Voltage
Attention Refer to the Manual
Do not dispose electronic equipment as unsorted municipal
waste. Please use a separate collection facility or contact
the supplier from which this instrument was purchased.

Power Cord for the United Kingdom
When using the instrument 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.

Power up
1. Connect the power cord to the socket on the rear panel.
2. Turn on the power switch on the front panel.
3. The power supply will show the Power On settings (Pon) at start up. If
no Power On settings are configured, the RSPS will recover the state
right before the power was last turned OFF. If used for the first time, the
default settings will appear on the display.

Note
You may also configure how the RSPS will behave on
startup by altering the Power On Configuration settings
Power down
To turn the RSPS power supply off, press the power switch again (0
position). It may take a few seconds for the power supply to fully turn off.
CAUTION
The power supply takes around 8 seconds to fully turn on
or shutdown.
Do not turn the power on and off quickly. Please wait for
the display to fully turn off.

How to Use the Instrument
Background
The RSPS power supplies use a novel method of
configuring parameter values only using the voltage or
current knobs. The knobs are used to quickly edit
parameter values at 0.01, 0.1 or 1 unit steps at a time.
When the user manual says to set a value or parameter,
use the steps below.
Example
Use the Voltage knob to set a voltage of 10.05 volts.
1. Repeatedly press the Voltage knob until the
least significant digit is highlighted. This will
allow the voltage to be edited in 0.01 volt
steps.

2. Turn the Voltage knob till 0.05 volts is shown

*4 From No-load to Full-load, constant input voltage. Measured at the sensing
point in Remote Sense.
*5 Measure with JEITA RC-9131B (1:1) probe
*6 Measurement frequency bandwidth is 10Hz to 20MHz.
*7 Measurement frequency bandwidth is 5Hz to 1MHz.
*8 From 10% to 90% of rated output voltage, with rated resistive load.
*9 From 90% to 10% of rated output voltage, with rated resistive load.
*10 Time for output voltage to recover within 0.5% of its rated output for a load
change from 10 to 90% of its rated output current. Voltage set point is from

*11 For load voltage change, equal to the unit voltage rating, constant input
voltage.
*12 For 6V model the ripple is measured at 2 ~ 6V output voltage and full output
current. For other models, the ripple is measured at 10 ~ 100% output voltage
and full output current.
