32 V., 3 A DC Power Supply
PSD4032A
l Floating DC supply voltage
l Constant voltage and constant current mode operation
l Individual display for voltage and current
l Adjustable current limiter
l Overload and short circuit protection
l Output ON/OFF control
l Wide mains operation 190-270 V AC
The PSD4032A is 32 V, 3 A DC Power supply. The power supply is designed as a
constant current (CC) and constant voltage (CV), source for laboratories,
industries and field testing applications, featuring Low Power Loss, compact and
light weight.
The DC output can be continuously adjusted from 0 to 32 V with coarse and fine
controls. Current limit is also adjustable from 0-3 A. Any over loading for adjusted
current limit is indicated by "CC" LED. When the maximum setting is crossed, the
LED will lit.
Separate displays for each channel are provided to show voltage and current
readings. Voltage and current, both displays are 3-digit display. In addition to low
residual ripple and noise as well as excellent line and load regulation, the
PSD4032A is provided with all protective circuits to ensure trouble free operation.

Operating Instructions
General Information
The logical front panel layout of PSD4032A ensures rapid familiarization with the
various functions. However, even experienced operators should not neglect to
carefully read the following instructions, to avoid any operational errors and to be
fully acquainted with the instrument when later in use.
After unpacking the instrument, check for any mechanical damage or loose parts
inside. Should there be any transportation damage, inform the supplier
immediately and do not put the instrument into operation.
Safety
The case chassis and all measuring parts are connected to the protective earth
contact of the inlet. The mains plug shall only be inserted in a socket outlet
provided with a protective earth contact. The protective action must not be negated
by the use of an extension cord without a protective conductor.
Warning!
Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside the instrument or
disconnection of the protective earth terminal is likely to make the instrument
dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
When removing the metal case or replacing, the instrument must be completely
disconnected from the mains supply. If any measurement or calibration
procedures are unavoidable on the opened-up instrument, qualified personnel
acquainted with the danger involved must only carry these out.

Operating Conditions
The ambient temperature range during operation should be between + 0 to +50°C
and should not exceed. - 40°C or + 70°C during transport or storage. The
operational position is optional, however, the ventilation holes on the PSD4032A
must not be obstructed.
First Time Operation
After unpacking the instrument check for any mechanical damages. The
instrument should be plugged in mains-plug of proper mains supply 230V + 10%.
On switch ON no undue observation should be noticed. Once the instrument is
switched ON the power ON is indicated by liting of display.
Operation
The power supply PSD4032A has electrically floating outputs. This permits easy
series or parallel connection with other power supply units, to increase supply
voltage or current respectively.
Constant Voltage Mode Operation :
The output voltage is unchanged / constant for load current applied up to the set
current value. Constant voltage mode is indicated by CV (LED) On.
Constant Current Mode Operation :
When the load current is increased more than the set current limit then output
voltage starts decreasing with respect to increase in load current. Constant current
mode is indicated by CC (LED) On.
